He was sad - he likes sitting in them when he's on business trips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-694989 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 16:26:20 +0000 Bao 694989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He didn't avoid them only because we never had the option to go in one, but I probably wouldn't have made a big deal out of it if it was here and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-694911 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:44:23 +0000 rachiecakes 694911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I'd known about avoiding hot tubs while I was in the TWW - I freaked out over boiling my baby the whole first trimester.<br /> We got pregnant first try and hadn't really read anything about what I should/shouldn't do except for folic acid and the obvious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-694808 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:10:39 +0000 MrsH 694808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never use one so I'm not helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-694794 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:07:14 +0000 Charm54 694794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents have a hot tub and we usually go in once a week. </p> <p>DH refrained during the 2 weeks leading up to my fertile days and we had no trouble getting pregnant. </p> <p>I miss it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-694753 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:58:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 694753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I believe it's part of the Shettles method.. Still reading up on the details. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-694749 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:55:13 +0000 pui 694749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: ? That can sway towards boy? I hadn't heard that yet. That is definitely a good way to motivate DH not to use the hot tub since he wants a son lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692459 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:53:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 692459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're trying for a boy this next time so DH will most definitely be avoiding hot tubs, saunas, and hot showers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692452 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:49:41 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 692452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It actually affects sperm for 3 months because it takes that long for them to develop. We avoided the whole time ttc even though we have a hot tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692333 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:00:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 692333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was more worried about me avoiding them in the TWW than anything with him and hot tubs. But, we don't have access to them that often that I'd be worried about it anyway. I did tell him to keep his laptop away from the goods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692238 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:38:40 +0000 pui 692238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: See what I have been reading is that apparently it can effect sperm for like a whole month (although I am getting everything from just that day to months lol. One article even said if you are planning to go TTC in say, April, you should have your guy stop using hot tubs in February!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692220 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:35:07 +0000 sslm 692220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have hot tubs around, so he wouldn't have much opportunity, but I would have had him avoid them. Mostly just around ovulation time though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692213 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:31:15 +0000 LuLu Mom 692213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was conceived in the Bahamas, we practically lived in the resorts hot tub because it was chilly when we were there, we had no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692205 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:30:15 +0000 ShootingStar 692205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: LOL, I wasn't sure if you'd been trying for a while. I'd say if it's occasional use it's probably not a big deal. DH actually did 2 sperm tests, and the 2nd one was in February, right before our BFP (and just a couple weeks after hot tubbing) and it had better results than the one from a few months ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692204 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:30:12 +0000 Mrs.B 692204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and use it often so he avoided it while ttc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692201 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:29:44 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 692201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just joined a gym that has hot tub &amp; tanning beds. I told DH to avoid both, just encase </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692188 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:26:32 +0000 pui 692188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: Well this is our first cycle TTC, so I don't think I should send my DH to the doctor to get checked out this soon. :) </p> <p>I'm just curious if in anyone's experience if it made any difference at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692180 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:24:58 +0000 ShootingStar 692180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't avoid them and it didn't seem to have an affect. Although we didn't have every day access. We had private hot tubs on our honeymoon in May, so we were in them every day for 10 days, and then we had a mini trip over New Year's where we used the hot tub several times. I got pregnant in October (CP) and then again in February right after the New year's trip.</p> <p>If you're concerned, you could probably have your DH's doctor order a sperm test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692164 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:22:09 +0000 Rescuemom10 692164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a hot tub and used it fairly regularly. Didnt have a prob. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-wereif-you-are-ttc-did-your-husband-avoid-hot-tubs#post-692153 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:20:27 +0000 pui 692153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep reading that hot tubs can be really bad for sperm. My in laws have a hot tub and we use it quite often (like once a week).</p> <p>Did you/your husband make an effort to avoid hot tubs while trying for a baby? Did you have any trouble getting pregnant? </p>
