Trying To Conceive. Should I Have Semen Leakage After Having Sex?
I am newly married and only started having sex after marraige. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant , and have been trying for about 5 months. I know it's still early to visit a doctor to see if there might be a problem, however, I do have a question about him. From my understanding after having sex I should leak some seman. However, I usually check if there is anything leaking but I don't feel there is. I do however need to go to the bathroom right away. My question is, if there is no seman leakage, does that mean there could be a sperm count problem?

Dear user, welcome to healthcare magic.
Usually semen drops form the vagina after withdrawal of the penis, a phenomenon named "effluvium seminis". Absence of this effluvium may be normal but we have to make sure that there is semen ejected from your husband. Ask you husband and if he is not sure ask him to ejaculate outside you and see if there is semen. If there is no semen (dry ejaculate), or if the amount is small (If there is semen and the amount is good, I advise you to have intercourse at days 11,13,15 of the cycle (day 1 is the first day of menstruation). Too frequent intercourse delays pregnancy. The best rate is 2-3 times a week (every oth day).
If three months pass and still no pregnancy you may need to visit your doctor.
Good luck.
