Small amount of semen... will that affect TTC??

OK... yesterday (Monday) to my surprise my fertility monitor said I was at high fertility. The surprise is that last month it was high on day 13 and yesterday was day 9 (my cycles are a little off after the m/c). Well DH and I had actually BD'd twice on Sunday. Well we BD'd last night too just because it was high fertility. Well when DH finished there was not as much semen.

So... after sharing way TMI...Just curious if this could effect making a baby??? We decided not to BD tonight to give him a chance to rest and hopefully this will help his sperm count too.

Does your dh have a low sperm count? If not I don't think it really matters. I know that dh and I dtd every night while ttc and we got a bfp. All it takes is 1 little swimmer to get in there! TMI- but sometimes it takes a while for it to leak out. Sounds like you covered your bases!! Good luck on a bfp real soon!

I don't know if this helps sperm count or not, but if you want to increase the amount of liquid they swim in, feed him oatmeal for breakfast. It will help lower his cholesterol anyway!

I never knew that about oatmeal, I only knew about it being good for cholesterol. Interesting.

Thanks for answering! I don't know about his sperm count... we have never had it tested. But he got me preggo twice within a 6 month period so I assume it's not bad?? We BD'd last night anyway and it was much better then. I don't know what happened the other night?
