SA...how long did everyone's DH/SO abstain before testing?

in TTC after 35

My wonderful DH has agreed to do a SA. He made his appointment today for August 8. How long did everyone's DH/SO abstain before testing? The paperwork says 2-5 days. I am thinking 2-3 days might be good.

We have decided to do a little testing to start with to see if things are okay for us. Hopefully we won't have to do a lot of testing.

    I think 2-5 days is pretty standard.  Any less than that can change the numbers.  I think my clinic says 3 days is ideal but I could be wrong about this.

    3 days for the SA, but then when we did the IUI sample we just abstained 24 hours, and the sample was still really good.
