: Hi! I was wondering if anyone can tell me how soon, or close, you can have sex before your rerieval? I don't want to jeopardize the sperm count, but our ret. date was suppossed to be this Thurs, then it was Fri. and now it looks like it is Sat. We haven't had sex since Sun. and I don't want a bunch of "dead" sperm either!
: Thanks.
Mary,
Have fun !!! Actually NYU tells you to have intercourse two nights prior to your retrieval (which is actually the night you take the HCG injection.) These instructions are actually written on the IVF calendar/timetable. It readys the uterus and "cleans out the plumbing" so to speak. Enjoy yourself and relax.
