Saunas?

[CedarWood]

Do your guys take them - steam showers - hot tubs etc?
I know they are not great for ttc but are they that bad? from time to time?

I think they are supposed to be bad for you in very early pregnancy (ie even before AF due) as raising one's body temperature can lead to an increased risk of spina bifida in the fetus.

So if you could be pregnant, even if only in first few weeks, its best to avoid.

Whoops sorry for the confusion - I meant do your guys take saunas etc. My concern was in terms of sperm. -If your sig other does that. Mine does but only occasionally and it worries me a bit as we are ttc.

Sorry, you did say 'guys' and i misread it as 'do you guys'!! ha ha

Can't help on that one I am afraid...

I would think lots of use long term would not be good... but an occasional hot bath, sauna or tub shouldn't affect things too much. Maybe have him avoid it the week your fertile though, just in case hehe.

Hi best keep spermies nice and cool as over heating can damage the poor little fellas. Thats why they say wear boxers to let them cool down while you are trying.
Maybe good idea to keep away just until after you get poss pregnancy test.
Good luck
