Hello ma'am, thank you for your question! It is not necessary for your partner to stop if you are trying to conceive. The most important thing for you to do is to avoid handling sperm, if any If he wants to stop, 3 weeks should be enough. I hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
