TMI warning but have a ?

I read something over on the IF board and wanted to bring it up here - I think it might only be in relation to IVF, but want to see what other bumpies RE's have said. Is it ok to experience orgasm during a cycle? I know this sounds stupid since many women have experienced orgasms and conceived, however I'm not sure if any RE's discourage it while cycling? I've actually heard the opposite from dr. google - that orgasms can help blood flow, relaxation, etc. Again, just wondering what others perspectives are on this topic....it's obviously one of those things you love! But if it's between that and getting a baby, well that's obvious Smile

    i also heard thru the grapvine it helps. Something about the contraction of muscles during helps push sperm up the cervix.

    I've never asked RE directly, but I've never been told specifically not to, so I don't think it's a concern.
