Does multiple ejacuations help in ttc?

chucklescm · August 2015

Hi, my boyfriend is older than me...42 to be specific. So I already was thinking we would have trouble concieving...but I have recently researched a lot about ttc and can't get the answer anywhere....does multiple ejaculation effect chances of pregnancy on fertile week? Say on second day he ejaculates 3 times in row.. We have gap then 4th day another 3, and then 2,3 (sometimes more) everyday up to ovulation...would this decrease the sperm count at the early stages of the week so I'm less prepared for more fertile ovulation days or would it increase my chances? He is always ejavulating 3 to 6 times when we gave sex at any given time....

Regards, CC

I'm sorry. What? Like you have sex and he orgasms three times a day? Is that what you mean?

Edit: b/c I am concerned you might be saying he's having three orgasms at once after sex.

OK, this is a TMI question, possibly, but is it possible that his ejaculate is just coming out in "spurts" as opposed to all at once? Is he actually climaxing multiple times? I just kind of question this whole scenario.

That being said, considering it only takes one sperm to fertilize an egg, I don't see how this would help. For sperm, it tends to be quality over quantity.

Also, women may be considered at an advanced maternal age starting at 35, but a man's sperm quality does not deteriorate at the same wait as women's ovarian reserves. Unless there are other underlying issues or health circumstances, I wouldn't worry too much about your boyfriends age as a number alone.

Wut.

I believe it's "best practice" to BD EOD/ED but multiple times per day does not increase your chance. It actually makes the sperm not as mature.

For any veterans, please say if this is wrong. @cattlebride @TheBorg7of9 @Everycol0r

You're correct.

mrstmoose · August 2015

@Daybird11Six it makes me happy that I've learned stuff here!

Kristin712 · August 2015

That's a lot of sex... or an odd interpretation of climax. Can you clarify, OP?

You're correct.

Yup. OP, I think it would decrease your chance of getting healthy sperm, not increase.

cattlebride · August 2015

Op what's your definition of ejaculates? If its how many times the guy shoots i think i kind of undrstand the question. If its orgasms hes fibbing. Teenage and early 20s have difficulties orgasming 3 or more times in a row. They need recovery time. @mrstmoose is correct aim for sex Ed or eod during your fertile window to increase your chances. Sex multiple times a day does not improve your chances statistically speaking.

Everycol0r · August 2015

So like, is he ejaculating multiple times in a row or are you having sex 3 times a day at different times? By golly, my lady bits hurt just thinking of it.

@mrstmoose is correct though. Multiple seminal deposits in the baby bank don't increase the balance. You may actually be hurting your chances instead of increasing it.

I'm 12. I giggled.

Because I LOL'D...

TheBorg7of9 · August 2015

No, it does not help to have sex more than once a day. I think it would most likely hurt your chances.

This. Once, every other day-- is more than sufficient.

You are correct. The recommendation is sex every other day throughout your cycle and as much as every day during your fertile window (for a healthy man). This keeps the sperm healthy because it's not around for too long but it's also enough time to build up a healthy supply of sperm.

Assuming you mean three orgasms, which...what!?

If that is correct, research says that there is no increase in the pregnancy rate of couples who BD every day vs. every other day. So three times in one day should not help any more than BD every day does not increase chances vs. DTD every other day.

All this notwithstanding... if YOU wanted to have 3 orgasms per, I would think that would be totally fine. If you want to tell your BF that you're gonna need multiples sometimes then I won't stop you from a little white lie...;)

And regarding his age, I'm just going to leave this here. Fertile...until...death!

Edited to include that this is a reference from TCOYF.

On a different note- no one wants that much semen in them. YUCK. If you went near a black light GURL you'd light up like a firework. Yikes.

@CupcakesRamazing LOL I would have expected a gif with that, maybe this?

KarenBeth714 · August 2015

Haha, This thread is silly

It sounds like she means "number of squirts" rather than orgasms.. but yea, I started out my ttc experience trying to do it many times a day during and around "o" time and now I'm learning that may have hurt our chances rather than helped!! Maybe you should be a tease for a few days before o and let those mature swimmers build up!!

letyourheartbeyourguide · August 2015

FYI: do NOT google "squirts gif". I was imagining something along the lines of...

but what I saw WAS NOT THAT. NOPE NOPE NOPE.

Is it bad that I really want OP to return to answer all your questions? I mean, that could get really entertaining. Legit questions here.

Please, OP, come back!
