Daily micro-protocols for the 90-day miracle window
| September 29, 2025 |
🔬 Pre-Bump Biology
Here’s the truth: sperm don’t age well sitting in storage. The longer they linger in the epididymis, the more DNA damage builds up. Frequent release—especially a second ejaculate within a few hours—slashes DNA breaks, boosts motility, and directly improves odds of implantation and live birth.
🧬 Protocol Drop
Today’s 1-Step Protocol:
Ejaculate every 24–48 hours during your 90-day window. On your partner’s ovulation or retrieval day, produce two ejaculates 1–3 hours apart and use the second sample. Target collection between 11:00–15:00 for peak semen quality.

Sperm DNA Fragmentation (SDF): Tiny cracks or breaks in the DNA carried by sperm. High SDF means embryos struggle to develop, raising miscarriage risk. Lowering SDF is one of the fastest ways to improve male fertility outcomes.
