Is it possible to have intercourse before the IVF?

There is no problem with intercourse before or during the IVF cycle. However, the male partner should refrain from ejaculation 2-6 days before egg collection. The abstinence should not be longer then 5-6 days though. This ensures that there is a maximum number of healthy and mobile sperm in his semen in order to reach high success rates.
