Low sperm count helped by abstinance?

Hey there! I've definitely heard that sperm builds up the longer a man goes without ejaculating, but I'm not sure if it would necessarily increase the odds of conception if he's got a low sperm count.

Not to overshadow your question, but just out of curiosity, how do you go about getting a semen analysis done? Can your primary care physician do it? I'd like my fiance to have one before we officially TTC. Thanks so much!

As far as your situation goes, I think you should go ahead and BD since he's likely got a whole batch saved up for ya! Good luck!

You need to have a referral from OB/GYN, primary care doctor or a urologist so have a semen analysis. You won't likely get a referral until you've been TTC for a year without luck. My doctor went ahead and gave us a referral because I'm about to be 30 and my clock is ticking for sure. Glad we did since we discovered we have some fertility issues to deal with. I am going to be such a wreck until our appt with the specialist. Oh well . Thank a bunch for reading. Lots of baby dust for you!

80 % of sperm is made from L - arginine . This amino acid is needed in large amounts in the diet to build sperm. To also make good sperm it needs zinc and vit c these are best taken at dinner time.... it also increases sex drive, reduces blood pressure to normal and prevents heart attacks and strokes..... so be careful
