Oral sex during fertile week?

Sorry I don't know a nice word like Babydance for this activity! Blush A bit of an awkward question, but I read that saliva is really bad for sperm, so should we not do OS during fertile week? We BD every day before bed (always have, way before TTC) because we both enjoy it and since my DH is high libido usually also have OS maybe 3-4 times a week in the mornings and sometimes also just as preparation before BD (but not to completion). Will that lower our chances? He doesn't have a low sperm count to my knowledge and I read doing it every day doesn't really affect your chances, but now I suddenly feel that we are "wasting it" a bit, haha. Confused

How do you guys go about this? Thank you!

@CrumchyLeafs sperm is best quality when ejaculation happens every other day. What you describe I’m sure isn’t having too much of a negative effect but I personally would definitely not recommend twice a day ‘completion’ as you say during fertile window. X

I've had my BFP this week and we done it 'every other day' leading up to ovulation, we couldn't do it every day as DO wouldn't be able to keep up... also didn't do oral at all x

@FlyOnTheWall89 @Pugmumm
Thank you for the replies! Once I get the hang of my cycle and know when I ovulate exactly I will try to only have PIV during that time to make sure we got the best chances! He will have to deal with it I guess, haha.
