If we remember that sperm live in the female reproductive tract for up to five days, most of the sperm is going to live there for two to three days. So five is kind of like the longest it can. What we have is that, okay, have sex two or three times a week.

Und manchmal ist es situationell. Truck-Drivers, Piloten, es ist einfach ein Job, wo es zu hart ist, das Intercourse während des Fertile Window zu haben. Aber dann auch, ja, hochperformierte Leute, die einfach nicht priorisieren oder nicht das Teil der Beziehung genießen. Wir machen sicherlich, was wir IUI nennen, Intrauterine Insemination.

Und das ist, wo du den Sperm nimmst und es in den Uterus steckst. Also statt Intercourse nehmen wir ein ejakuliertes Samplein und dann processieren es und es in den Uterus stecken.

Well, because most of the ejaculate of your sperm is actually meant to protect the sperm from the acidity of the vagina. So most of that is not ever going to see the inside of a uterus. And if... We put the whole sample up in the uterus, it would cause a huge inflammatory or infectious process.

But if we clean that sample and we pell it out, centrifuge it and get just the sperm, we can then put the sperm into the uterus and avoid having all that protective ejaculate sample with it.

Es gibt so viele Verletzungen, wenn es darum geht, sich mit Intercourse verheiratet zu machen. Also können wir sicherlich ein paar von ihnen durchgehen. Einer davon, den wir bereits angesprochen haben, ist, oh, du solltest Sperm sparen, wenn du ovulierst.

Also sehen wir, dass manchmal Männer weniger ejakulieren oder Männern tatsächlich keinen Sex haben, um sich für den gleichen Tag der Ovulation zu sparen. But there's no need to do that. As we know, we want to clear the pipes to keep the sperm coming out healthy and alive and not have dead sperm. And that you can have sperm survive in the reproductive tract for up to five days.

So you want to be having intercourse up until that ovulatory day. So every other day sex, every day sex, every three day sex, those are all fine. Nobody ever needs to have less sex. So if you and your partner have sex every day, please don't have less sex because you're trying to get pregnant. Number two, the sperm are inside the fallopian tubes within minutes.

They have gone from the vagina, gotten through that seminal fluid in the ejaculate, through the cervix, through the uterus and into the fallopian tube within minutes, under five minutes. So there's no need to prop your hips up on a pillow for 30 minutes or put your feet in the air. Truly the sperm are into the cervix within two minutes. And the cervix is where they then sit for up to the five days.

So the two minutes time that it's going to take you to withdraw, get up, go to the bathroom, the sperm are fine. You're not going to pee out any sperm. You don't need to put any device in to keep sperm in place. Keep your feet up, lay in bed. You can go and do whatever you want to do. And in fact, we know that urinating after intercourse for women decreases the risk of a urinary tract infection.
