Default Semen Analysis Question!!

Dear all,
my DH going to have SA test tomorrow. I heard my friend said that
before test the male have to release it first then waited for 3 days and
then only collect the specimen for test. Is that true??

I don't know for sure what your doctor will require. When my DH had his SAs he just went in and did it and then was done until the next time we needed to have a test done.

Good luck!

My DHs doc made him abstain one or two days before (If analysis was on a Wed he wanted him to release Sun or Mon and definitely abstain Tues).
Hope this helps.

Our doc advised to go no more than 5 day, no less than 2.

We always did 3 days.
