I don't have A/C, so at least you have that going for you! I am just hoping we get snow soon ( sometimes we do by the end of Sept.). Until then, I hope it starts to cool down!

snow in sept???
Some years! Last year we were lucky, and fall was wonderful. It stayed nice until Halloween. But most years by Halloween, there is snow on the ground. The year my son was born, the temp on Halloween was in the single digits, so we didn't even take him out.Quote:

So when DH has a fever (like mine), the affect isn't seen right away- but your following cycle as motility and count are decreased. I think you should encourage DH to ice regularly, sleep in the nude, and no hot baths.
:agree: Thank you Spicy!! Great info.Quote:

The other year where I live (near Idaho) it snowed on June 14th for four hours and then it snowed in Sept too. That year kinda sucked!!!Quote:

Also I didn't think to ice right before .But I guess I can ask him to start now so he can do it every night a little bit . And it's more like a cool down...we don't put ice on him lol but get a ice pack and wrap in a towel and just hold it there for a while .With his pants on lol so not hurting at all .
Like I said he can't sleep nude but he got only a boxer on . And he don't take baths just shower.
Your DH is really cooperative! Hug him extra tight (only avoiding the nut region!!;))
Okay, I am confused. If sperm is always being produced, what's the 72 days thing? I mean, if only some are fully formed NOW, where are the rest of them hanging out at their different stages of development? I think I need a biology lesson.Quote:

Also, I am thinking about the people I know with hot tubs, and most of them have GIRLS! I bet that's why.
