"Are Hot Tubs safe for TTC?" and other heat related questions

@darrellgc One of them does! She is a little heat magnet and he runs very hot down there as it is.

@kevintristan I'm now side eyeing my cat laying across Mr. Image's lap.

@amandabroken Cats. Doing everything they can to remain the center of attention.

@ahcadvocacy Ugh. When we started TTC in June, we had been using the sauna every day because the cabin we were living at had no shower. The only way to get warm water to wash yourself is the sauna! This is common where we live. So we stopped, but sperm take 72 days to mature, and my husband recently used the sauna once again... I’m so worried we’re screwed for like 6-7 months

@dancequeen12 Just remember with people staying in heat for probably more hours a day only 22% had decreased siren parameters. Also average sperm is very much higher than the threshold where you will actually see a difference in terms of fertility.

@dancequeen12 Air is not the best conductor of heat! Honestly, if you guys take 10-15 minutes in there, I would not worry about it too much. It's good to be clean.

@ahcadvocacy It gave me much headaches as well. I planned the spa day for after retrieval (if fresh transfer fails), just to enjoy it without thinking twice and however much I want even though I think it's probably not an issue. Than you so much to put this all together!!

 

[ahcadvocacy]

@s3anreilly Ah, I misread that and thought you were going to go the day after retrieval! TOO SOON! At least, I think it would have been for me. Sounds like a great plan.

 

[s3anreilly]

@ahcadvocacy Haha no. Even if I would physically feel that part to go between retrieval and day 3 transfer I don't think I would be able to enjoy it and relax.
