Lead exposure for DH

Jessminda · Apr 7th, 2012, 02:34 AM

DH wants to skip this month TTC because he's been at the range shooting consistently for a month (military) and is worried about lead exposure. I'm not sure that a month is enough to cause any problems? Does anyone have any experience with this?
I need to figure this out soon because I'm supposed to be starting a round of letrizole in 2 days!
TIA

I think I would ask your Dr.

It's not something i'm aware of tbh, just being in the presence of lead v's ingestion of say lead in water.

What I do know, is that the life cycle of sperm, ie the window of time that could affect them is around 70days.....ie if you had a high fever that could affect sperm function then ideally you'd wait 70days to be unaffected by that, for a completely 'fresh' lot.
