I haven't heard anything about taking hot baths when you are TTC. When you are pregnant though you aren't supposed to let your body temperature rise too much because the baby can't regulate its body temperature

I think what you're referring to is the fact that heat can kill off sperm. Some people say hot baths etc can lower a man's sperm count because the heat will damage the sensitive sperm. cooler environments are more ideal for sperm...apparently this is why the man's junk "hangs low" lol, it's further away from the natural body heat.

hot baths for women...well i don't think it is an issue for women TTC...really it's just for the man and his sperm. But i think if he is healthy and has a good sperm count to begin with, it shouldn't be a problem.

yeah samo is right ...you don't have to be worry as your TTC your guy so should avoid but My obgyn told me ( we have hot tub at home ) as soon as i know i am pregmant to not use the hot tub she said bath are fine because they cool fast than a hot tub doesn't it's always hot and your body has to make extra oxygen to cool you down there before if you are pregnant you are taking away the oxygen of your baby . So no hot tub or steam room etc ...but bath are fine i told you when i went i had list of questions with me
