Bike season is rolling around and my husband is going to start riding again, but we are TTC. If he rides while I am on my period but stops riding a few days before I start ovulating will his sperm be okay? How long does it take for his sperm to recover from the bike riding? I know it is easy to say that it is better to be safe than sorry and just tell him not to ride at all, but I don't want to do that unless I absolutely have to. Also just some more info, he doesn't ride everyday or anything, and not for terribly long distances. Thanks for your help!

It takes approx. 45-60 days for sperm to develop and mature so stopping riding a few days before ovulation will do no good. If his counts are normal then riding a few days a week probably won't make much difference but if his counts are borderline or low then riding isn't a good idea.
