Trying To Conceive. Habit Of Masturbation, Does This Affect In Getting Pregnant?
Hello doctor!
I am on my 29th day of my 30 day cycle. I have been married since 3 years and we are trying for a baby. I have the habit of masturbating by rubbing my upper portion of genital with hand. Does this affect the chances of conceiving? If so on which of the days of my regular cycle I should not do this. Or is it that harmful I should get rid of this completely. Please help me out.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Usually masturbation won't affect the chances of fertility.
To get pregnancy you have to plan unprotected intercourse around the time of ovulation.
If you are having regular cycles, track your ovulation and plan intercourse around that period.
If you do not get success by this, consult gynecologist once get examined and go for ovulation induction.
Seminal analysis of your husband has to be done once.
For more details you can ask me directly through the premium forum.
Take care.

Hello,
Masturbation is quite healthy if you do this hygienically and usually does not impact on conceiving.
As you are TTC for long time, it is better to consult with infertility specialist and do the basic tests.
1) Husband semen analysis test.
2) Pelvic USG scan of yourself.
3) Ovulation test- Serial follicular study in mid cycle to check proper ovulation.
4) Tubal patency test- by HSG (hystero salpingography) or laparoscopy.
5) Complete hormone assay including D-21 progesterone, thyroid profile, blood sugar & prolactin test.
6) Test for cervical factor- Post Coital Test (PCT), Anti-sperm antibody (ASA) etc.
These will be helpful in eliciting the underlying causes. Good luck.
