Bath tubs = no men?

in TTC after 35
I know men are supposed to stay out of the hot tubs/saunas. But what about bath tubs? DH takes a bath every night. Is the hot water from just a bath possible sperm killer? I've read mainly about the hot tubs, but not much has been said about baths.

    My hubby loves to take a bath after a long day at work so he specifically asked the dr about this one.  He was advised to avoid the tub all together.  The only time I allow him a bath is during my 2ww.

    I think it depends on how hot the water is. I can't remember what the temperature cut off is, but where's the fun in taking a cold bath? I have cut out baths for myself also so I don't raise my body temperature. If I remember correctly, a man's sperm reserve is about 3 months, cutting out hot tubs/saunas now will help the sperm 3 months down the road so they should stay out of the tubs the entire time while TTC.
