hot tub

My sil got a uti in her honey moon and the doc said it was from bd in the hot tub...

The hot tub isn't good for your dh's sperm either...

Sorry :(

Early pregnancy is ok...

Hot tube, although not studied, may not necessarily be the best for sperm as the heat may disimpair them upon ejaculation...but this is only a thought and may not be true...

well if it is true,, how long "may" the disimparment last after being in the hot tub,, is that something that can damage the sperm for next month if we have to try again next month?

thANKS AS ALWAYS DR Q

I sat in a hot tub about 3 days before I found out I was pregnant. :)

The thing is, if your body temp is supervised, its okay throughout pregnancy. But note how I said supervised. It is said not to because you should not have your core temp about 102 for more than 10-20 minutes (depending on who you ask.. I stick with 10) Most people will climb out before that happens. But, since some don't, and it can cause problems, people are just told not to. I'm a massage therapist, adn I have training in hydrotherapy, and I would put a pregnant woman in a hot tub, but not longer than 10 minute intervals..

Since I knew I could be pregnant when I sat in the hot tub, I sat in for ten minutes, hopped in the pool then sat on the side for ten, and then got back in the hot tub...

However.. once you get to the point where your water has broken.. (obviously late pregnancy) stay out!! :o) Hot tubs are a breeding ground for germs.

And some people say that later in pregnancy, hot tubs are uncomfy for the baby b/c it heats up the amniotic fluid.. it does heat it up, but I stillsay, in my professional opinion, it is fine as long as you keep it to ten minute intervals with sufficient cool down time in between.

I'm not sure on the answer to that Chrissy, but know that its an issue for the sperm to get that hot. My ivf clinic asked my dh when he went to do his critical sa if he sat in hot tubs...they said thank God you don't.....

ohh, i think i know what u mean now,,, if we are ttc while in the hot tub it may hurt those sperm?? right?? lol sorry ,, im kinda confused

Not sure on that particular ejaculate of sperm...but overall..yes continuous hot tub..may effect sperm...

Heat on its own is damaging to the sperm and can hence affect male fertility to a certain extent. This impact is however temporary and does not cause permanent damage. Remember that men's testes are outside the body for a reason. The reason being they need to be in a cooler environment to produce healthy sperm. Studies have also shown that sperm quality and count vary in men according to the seasons of the year, with the lowest count in summer.

Hot tubs, bicycling and saunas � even wearing tight underwear � are probably okay in moderation, but a man with a marginal sperm count might want to pass on these activities while he's trying to conceive since the heat generated during these activities can damage sperm.

The quality of sperm is more affected by heat than the quantity of sperm, both of which are linked to fertility and getting pregnant. Men should avoid frequent use of the hot tub when trying to conceive because the testes are very sensitive to heat, which can damage sperm production. The heat can damage developing sperm which may not be fully mature for several months. Sperm count generally returns to normal level within a week of hot tub exposure.

The damage caused to sperm because of heat also depends upon factors like how hot the water is or how long you stay in the hot water or if the man is involved in any other activities that may affect fertility. Jobs which are performed in the heat can also affect the sperm quality. Combining hot tubs, bicycling, and active outdoor jobs and all combine to create lower than average sperm.

Found this if it helps.....

I missed the part of the question about bd'ing in the hot tub.. I gotta learn to read, really! :)

The biggest thing to worry about bd'ing in the hot tub is the sperm getting washed out of you... ya know? Now.. that's not to say you CAN'T get pregnant with sex in the hot tub/pool... but it definitely lowers the chances vs on dry land :)

well the deed is done for this month,, so i may or may not be preggo while we are on vacation (too early to know) so we will not be trying while in the hot tub,, i was just wondering if am am pg if it would hurt the baby,and if iam not pg if it would hurt the swimmers for next month

i know dh wants to have some fun in the hot tub so i had to ask! hahaha

oh yeah.. well.. its not unsafe to do it in the hot tub.. but if you are pregnant.. just don't stay in there for 45 minutes or anything! maybe either start or finish outside of the tub, unless you can get it all done in 15 ish! :)

lmao,, hard to tell w/ my dh

thanks meghan

LOL Chrissy... have fun! :)

be careful of the hot tub UTI though! Ouch! :)

OK I'll def have fun!

I will try to be careful too!

Wonder why that would cause UTI?

LOTS of bacteria in hot tubs...even a bath at home can give you a little one if you are prone to them!

OK THANK U FOR THE INFO!
