PSA: Laptop use and decreased sperm count

Seems that extensive research has not yet been done, but thought this was worth sharing: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/17664.php

(My DH told me about this tonight when I asked him why he was sitting in a weird position on the couch with the laptop.  Seems he's been reading up on the health of his swimmers!)

    Would having it in my lap kill the sperm that are there? Hmmm, perhaps that is my problem.

    Yes, that's why we didn't get pg the first cycle.  All those damn laptops!  Stick out tongue

    DH is a computer sci prof; he has like 2,197 computers going all day long.  Maybe this explains the SA results.  Hahahaha!

    Just another reminder that today is in fact a Tuesday.

    Sigh. Even with July not here, I get the feeling that she is. In spirit.

    Just to clarify, I gave this article a disclaimer.  I am in the medical research field, so I take clincal studies seriously.  I thought it was important to let those TTC know that the increased temperature from the laptop directly on DH's groin is being analyzed a bit closer since the bottom of laptops can exceed 120 degrees.  This was not to freak anyone out.

    To be fair, I have read multiple articles on this and I think it was mentioned in TCOYF.  Plus, my Dr. said for him to avoid direct contact with the happy zone with the laptop.  It's a valid thing to consider.

    I have heard this before as well. I did read it in TCOYF, and my nurse midwife, and another OBGYN have mentioned this as well.
