Hypothetically, if a couple were trying for a baby, leading up to the womans ovulation, would it be better to go at it like rabbits or not have sex for a few days to save up a good "load"?

It basically comes down to little and often or shock dose!!!

Conjecture and medical facts welcome!!!

From my experience "going at it like rabbits" works just fine. I'm 2-for-2 biggrin

Ok, to give it some background...

Mrs S says abstain,
I reckon the rabbit theory.

Are you more likely to shoot a pigeon out the sky with a .22 rifle or a 12 bore?

Regular ejaculation clears the 'pipes' of older sperm.
Newer sperm have more energy and move more.

Rabbits.

Maybe abstain leading up to ovulation, and then everyday for 4 days, bound to hit the right day then.

Good luck smile

What do you mean it doesn't sound good, the more often you have sex around ovulation the greater the chances of you getting pregnant!

If you are only going to do it the once with a full load, and in fact ovulation doesn't take place until a day or two later you will have missed your chance for another month.

Yeah, but you said abstain before.

Abstaining gets painful after 3 days. frown

Abstain for 2 days then, missonary position, and first thing in the morning (Apparently more sperm per

Oh, abstain for 2 then, first thing in the morning is supposed to be a good time (More sperm per load apparently.) Missionary with hips raised helps for deeper penetration and get your mrs to stay in that postion for a while after.

Well actually your more likely with one of those multi barrel guns - got any close mates hehe


Joking apart, the fertility clinic told us to abstain for about 3-4 days before hand and then bang away like an armed policeman on the tube line.

You really want to be doing it just before ovulation. Sperm will live for a few days while the ovum only have a few hours so you need the little guys there ready and waiting.

I've heard 2 theories of either saving up and then banging away or going for the every other day approach. Main think is that she doesn't get up straight away. Also helpful to put a book under the end of the bed to tilt it!
