Healthy swimmers! :)

Hi ladies :)

Can anyone tell me how long you need to regularly DTD for healthy, fresh swimmers? I have been a no-go zone for the past few weeks and looks like I will be for another 2 weeks IYKWIM. We are due to start IUI next month, about 2 weeks after we will be able to DTD again.

So are swimmers going to be just as healthy and fresh from 2 weeks of DTD as say 2 months of DTD? :)


And finally, does that make sense at all? :lol:

From memory, and forgive me if I have confused your question, but our clinic preferred that you DTD (or whatever ;)) 2-3 days before a sample was given to go ahead with IUI. The sperm is made weeks ahead of when it is actually used but something along the lines of needing it to be moved out and fresh. Sorry, its been a very long time but thats the general idea. Good luck, hope you get your BFP this cycle :hug:

I always thought sperm had to be 'refreshed' regularly - like every couple of days....

That's what DP tells me anyway ;) :lol:

It's best to ejaculate every two days from memory, whether that's dtd, masturbation, wet dreams, whatever! ;) So long as its coming out.
