Baths & TTW

[Birchgirl]

Hi everyone!

I’ve read somewhere that baths can affect TTC while you’re in the TWW. I absolutely love a bath (find it as my only source ofrelaxation & me time) and I really don’t want to give them up unless necessary.

Could someone please tell me if this is true or not?

Thank you x

I think it’s total myth... HOWEVER... the one month I stopped taking baths, I did get my BFP. I miscarried at 8 weeks and now ttc again. But I’ll be leaving out my bath ritual again. X

@Birchgirl ooo I'm going to follow this post! I hate showers so only really take baths. I have them s little cooler in the tww but would like to know if there's any truth in this

@Cakelaur I’ve heard quite a few people say this. Think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and try swapping for a shower instead x

@DaisyMay25 I’m exactly the same! I love my baths. I wouldn’t even cut down when the water bill started going up so this is massive for me haha x

@Birchgirl I just did a quick read up on it and they say it doesn't have any affect on the ovulation or eggs.
Says it can affect sperm if it's for long periods of time.
So I think they're fine, just maybe a bit cooler than you're used to? That's what I'm doing
I know when pregnant they have to be cooler too

@DaisyMay25 maybe I’ll try having showers with a few cooler baths in between. I don’t think I’m ready to go cold turkey yet! Haha

I’d say have showers when you have sperm in you and maybe baths when you don’t? 🙈 I was more worried about it affecting the sperm than the egg if you know what I mean. Baths when preggo are ok as long as not boiling. Cos baby can’t regulate it’s own temp plus I found I overheated when pregnant last time even in the shower. 🤞

Oh no I had a bath last night. Hope it’ll be ok x
