A member asked:

Is it safe to try to conceive while the man just had 1-2 days mild fever because of the flu? is there more chance for birth defects since fever may lead to lower sperm quality?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Birendra Tandan answered

Yes it is safe, Sperms in the ejaculation now were made about 3 months ago.
