Husband's bike race/IVF cycle

[Keshet]

I'm considering doing a cycle this month. But my husband has a 25 mile bike race scheduled within the window of when my egg retrieval might be. Would this be a problem for sperm quality? Should I wait a month? Would that help?

I don't think it is ideal!

Have him go before and freeze a sample. He has to be available during that window....if it happen to fall on your ER day, he couldn't go. At your age and with your pretesting, I would cycle sooner than later. Bike racing isn't good for swimmers.

I would have him drop off sample before training. My DH did a triathalon while we were ttc our first and I read that biking can really affect morphology. Needless to say, this time around he didn't even go near a bike.
