Can I have sexual intercourse during treatment?
Generally yes, and your doctor can give you advice on this.
There are a few important points to be aware of: When you�re having a semen analysis: we recommend that you abstain from any form of ejaculation for the two to five days before your semen analysis to ensure a robust sample. During your IVF treatment: sex during the early stimulation phase of an IVF cycle is fine as long as you are using a form of barrier contraceptive e.g., condom. If you were to ovulate unexpectedly, we want to avoid the possibility of multiple pregnancy. After embryo transfer: on returning home, we generally advise that you take things easy, avoiding lifting and strenuous activity including sexual intercourse.
