A clinical trial suggests that men who ejaculate within 48 hours before providing sperm samples for IVF achieve higher ongoing pregnancy rates than those who abstain longer. The study, involving over 450 men, found a 46% success rate in the shorter abstinence group compared to 36% in the longer one. Experts note potential benefits but call for further research on live births and other factors.
