Male sauna use while trying TTC
My husband has been using a sauna every other day for the last four months. He’s very healthy and it’s part of his health regimen. He swims competitively. I had a miscarriage at eight weeks in May. This is my first cycle trying again and I just found out that sauna lowers sperm count and possibly quality? Could this be a reason I could have miscarried or is it just harder to get pregnant if your partner is going in saunas frequently? If I’m not pregnant from this cycle I’m going to have him stop going while we are ttc

@Zoe say he stops using saunas now. Do we have to wait three months to try to convince again or can we try before then just our chances won’t be as great?
Keep trying! Your chances may just not be as great. I thought I’d have trouble getting pregnant cause my boyfriend barely stopped smoking a month ago, but I got my bfp yesterday, so anything can happen
@Julie we’ve definitely seen the same things on Google but then I think about all the men in Finland who use sauna daily and have no problem getting women pregnant 🤔 ha

Also remember, sperm takes 3 months to mature, so if he stops now the unaffected sperm won’t become available for 3 months
