Hi..

My wife and I will have the egg retrieval procedure for IVF in a couple of weeks. My urologist recommended that for best results I should abstain from sexual activity (self or otherwise) between 3-5 days (but not more than 5 days) before the day I have to give my sample.

I am a bit confused about the "not more than 5 days" part. Do I have to make sure I engage in sexual activity every 5 days so that I don't cross the 5 day mark when I give my sample?

Would like to know what your doctor(s) have adviced

My husband was told he had to ejaculate 3 days prior to giving the semen sample and not to do it again until the day the sample is given. This ensures that the sperm that is used is fairly new..
