A member asked:
I had fever peaked at 103.9f yesterday and now it subsided to normal.will this effect sperm? can i inseminate now or should be waiting for 72 days?

Depends: It depends on why you have a fever. If it is from infection you should be ok. If you have recurrent fevers, it could be from possible autoimmune condition that could affect your spermatozoa count. Please followup with your doctor.
