How much is too much?

How much is too much?

I am curious about a man's sperm count.  How long does it take to 'make' it, how long does a man 'carry' it for, how long can it survive within the woman, how quickly is the supply replenished/depleted???   We are trying to conceive and I have heard that you can deplete a man's 'supply' by having intercourse too frequently.  Well, what IS too frequently?

Hi!
Good questions!  It takes about three months to "manufacture" a sperm.  Sperm can survive for up to three days within the female reproductive tract.  Optimal frequency of intercourse is every day to every other day.  More than once a day is too much, and can invoke the law of diminishing returns!

Good luck!
