I've heard that frozen sperm has a shorter life in the body than fresh sperm. What do you know about this?

    Hi cj -

    That is correct. Studies have shown that fresh sperm can live 24-72 hours after insemination. Frozen sperm lasts about 24 hours.

    ...Which is why working with your physician to time your ovulation cycle as closely as possible is so important.

    Thanks for that information. Someone told me that frozen sperm only has 8-10 hours in the body, so 24 sound luxurious. First insemination was yesterday, and I think it was well-timed. Wish us luck!

    Take care!

    Another question: how can I track the threads that I am participating in on the discussion boards? I only see one thread (rather than the 4+ I have posted on) when I search by my login name. Thanks!
