Question/Advice Showering?

Does showering after BD affect sperm? I always shower after and now i’m kinda worried that it might’ve affected it. I probably waited like 1-2 mins then showered. This is our first time TTC as well

Nope! The sperm is already safely tucked away in your uterus! The only thing to to be mindful of what youre washing with - make sure its fertility friendly because you can throw off the PH balance and kill future sperm from the next BD or it can create an environment that isnt suitable for implantation
