A member asked:

When ttc how often can you have sex with out lowering your partners sperm count?i read online it said 3 times a week

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Every 2 days: It takes about 48 hours to regenerate a full load of sperm after an ejaculation. If you have sex more often than that, you will be delivering a smaller load each time.
