(age? tobacco? alcohol? too much coffee? not eating healthy enough? radio waves?) I keep most of my unfounded worries to myself (I'm sure he's grateful). haha :[ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-finds-wifi-may-damage-sperm-quality#post-24206 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 10:12:57 +0000 BabyBear 24206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Adia: I agree.

Hmm...maybe it isn't my body causing problems after all! J/k I'm sure if I was really emphatic about it he'd change his ways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-finds-wifi-may-damage-sperm-quality#post-23883 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:52:08 +0000 mrsjyw 23883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Studies like these make me paranoid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-finds-wifi-may-damage-sperm-quality#post-23882 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:50:29 +0000 cyneswith 23882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just asked my husband to keep his laptop off his lap.

Someone is always having something to say about something else nowadays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-finds-wifi-may-damage-sperm-quality#post-23821 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:55:32 +0000 sandsandmore 23821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AFter we had trouble TTC, my hubby, on his own, stopped keeping his cell phone in his pants pocket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-finds-wifi-may-damage-sperm-quality#post-23818 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:50:22 +0000 Miss Adia 23818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take these with a grain of salt.

It's more comfortable and helps the sperm I guess. Luckily, he's on a desktop most of the time at work and at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-finds-wifi-may-damage-sperm-quality#post-23803 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:36:09 +0000 MsMini 23803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That study doesn't seem to take into effect the insulating quality of the tissues between the laptop and the sperm (clothing, skin, testicular tissue etc). I would take it with a grain of salt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-finds-wifi-may-damage-sperm-quality#post-23802 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:35:17 +0000 MamaMoose 23802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's in interesting find. My feeling on these things though is that I'm not going to worry about them until we go through a few months of trying. It's just too much to worry about until we are actually in a situation where we seem to be having a problem getting pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-finds-wifi-may-damage-sperm-quality#post-23801 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:34:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 23801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't know about wifi (since mr. bee is around wifi 24/7), but definitely having the laptop on his lap is not a good idea since heat damages sperm.</p> <p>maybe you can get him something like this so at the very least he doesn't put his laptop directly on his lap:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Comfort-Lapdesk-N500-white/dp/B0038KR9EY/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1322595200&#038;sr=8-9" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Comfort-Lapdesk-N500-white/dp/B0038KR9EY/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1322595200&#038;sr=8-9</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/study-finds-wifi-may-damage-sperm-quality#post-23799 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:32:11 +0000 heffalump 23799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ALWAYS yell at my hubby for that.

DH sits on the couch with his computer on his lap ALL THE TIME. I feel like he'd think I'm crazy if I ask him to stop, but this article has me really worried. Is anyone in a similar situation? </p>
