Last sex 7 days ago and now i am ovulating

Sounds silly but I am worried about his sperm being too 'old'.... I am 100% ovulating today. I am worried about the quality of the sperm in his testicle at 7 days

Sperm only lasts 5 days so I’d bd again today and tomorrow

You need to bd again as sperm only lives 5 days max

What about the quality?? Is it gonna be too old??

Yes it’s too old

Sperms survives about 2.5 months in a males testicles once made and will just be stored if not released. After around 2 months his body will start to break it down and reabsorb it to make room for what he is currently making. It shouldn't effect quality after only 7 days and the body will be storing what is being made everyday. The sperm already released when you last had sex 7 days ago will no longer be viable for conception so you will need to have sex again to conceive

@Sophie I don't think she's referring to what he has already released 7 days ago when they had sex I think she is asking if her partner hasn't released any sperm since having sex 7 days will the quality of the sperm in his body have decreased but it should be fine.

that is what i was referring to. Thank you. I know it sounds so silly but I am concerned regarding the quality of it at the moment

Oh I see - no I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I actually read you should t have sec too much before you intend to actually TTC and sperm quality will be better if you wait until you actually need to bd

Doesnt sound silly at all when you're trying to conceive you think about everything and we all probably end up worrying about things we don't need to. Once the sperm is made it is all stored together until released or broken down so if you BD again today what will be released will be a mixture of everything that has been made over the last 7 days, it won't be a case of only the older stuff being released first it'll just be a mixture of everything he has produced. When they become "full" the body will just break down the older cells to make room for new ones.

I really appreciate this. Thank you

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?

Ovulation test

I know this group is for pregnancy test but just want to double check this ovulation test is positive. I haven’t had a positive ovulation test in months and months I think Im gonna cry. When is best to have sex after a positive ovulation test and how likely is it to get pregnant?
