How often do you have intercourse to conceive a child? I am 42 and my wife is 30, we live abroad. We are afraid that the later it will be, the more difficult it will be for a wife to get pregnant. I had a semen test and I have an abnormal sperm structure. Only 4% are correct. Last year I was treating a very severe anemia caused by blood loss from hemorrhoids. Could anemia cause poor sperm structure)? I have a beautiful daughter from my previous relationship. We want to have a baby very much and we do not know whether to make love often or to take a few days' breaks, giving the seed time to arm itself? We have been trying for almost 2 years and we are not giving up. I try to rebuild semen quality by supplementing myself with proper and he althy nutrition.
After 2 years of unsuccessful efforts, basic diagnostic tests should be performed on both the wife and the master. 4% of normal sperm is the limit value, but not only sperm structure is important, but also their number, survival and mobility. My advice is that my wife should watch for ovulation cycles and when. It can be monitored by the appearance of the mucus (as in the Billings method), by measuring body temperature or by performing ovulation tests (available at the pharmacy). Intercourse in this period should be every 2 days, and this period should be preceded by a 3-5 day period of no sexual contact (no ejaculation).
