Fever and Sperm Count: Impact on Fertility & Conception

Question
am 22 years female.we r ttc.these are my fertile days.my partner is having a fever(not severe).will this be a hindrance for conception.does the fever affect the sperm count?

Answer
A high fever could affect sperm count.  To minimize this, make sure your partner wears loose pants and boxers rather than briefs.  This will allow his testicles to hang free from his body, minimizing their exposure to his fever.  This, combined with the fact that his fever is not severe, should help bring his sperm count back up.  Good luck!
