Question 1

kindly guide that is the masturbation for a wife during sex can be a problem to get pregnant. we are trying from 6 months but no pregnancy occured yet?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry (yet): Masturbation for a woman will not affect becoming pregnant but a man masturbating often might lower his sperm count reducing the chance of pregnancy. It takes the average couple 6 months to become pregnant, meaning half the time it takes longer. Don't worry unless a year goes by without conceiving. If that happens see a doctor (your husband too)-also consider herbs like rhodiola and ashwagandha.
