For optimum safety, it is advisable to wait six months after stopping use of the thermal method before attempting to conceive a child. During this period, it is also advisable to consult a doctor to check that sperm parameters have returned to normal, and to use an alternative method of contraception in the meantime.
The aim of this precautionary measure is to completely remove sperm carrying genetic alterations such as aneuploidy and chromatin alteration due to the thermal method or any exposure to heat. The risk is low, but we have no specific clinical trials on this subject. So even if the risk is close to 0, as a precautionary principle, a recovery time of standard sperm functions is recommended.
