Oral Sex and TTC (possibly a dumb question?) - Page 2

trying4#1 · Jun 24th, 2009, 06:27 AM

Oral sex on either person intros saliva to sperm. This stops their ability to swim. I low it's difficult, but it's defo worth not doing it. If need be, I'm sure a dry kiss is fine cos a wet one will obviously only intro saliva!

I hope that helps!

i suppose this is why men think they are sperm wands...sex by numbers without oral? fun :S

i dont think it matters if you use oral or not tbh.

This is really interesting. Me and DH almost always have a bit of oral (sorry TMI I know!!!) as foreplay as we don't like just 'diving straight in there'. We have been TTC for over a year now and I wonder if we should try avoiding oral completely in our next cycle..... I reckon it has to be worth a try.

Thanks for bringing this up. x

I remember looking into this through google. There was enough info on there to convince me it wasn't worth it as I would like to get preg sooner rather than later.

Don't think it's worth the risk just before ov - still got the rest of the cycle to do whatever!
