? from a TTGPer

Just curious how many of you guys got Kued having sex EOD or who had sex the day before Ovulation but not on the day OF ovulation. (of course this all depends on if you knew when you ovulated on your BFP cycle).

I know what the statistics say, but it'd be great to see some real world examples to let me know how common it is:) 

Thanks in advance!

Every month I've gotten a BFP we would BD all days of EWCM and try do it twice on the day of O pain. Good luck!

 DS#1 was a suprise, but we did BD on an O pain day.

 DS#2 took 6 months to concieve.

My preg that ended in m/c happened the 1st month TTC.

 This preg took 8 months TTC.

I can't speak from experience (yet! LOL) but in my obsessive searches of pg charts on the FF gallery, it actually seems like the majority of them show sex on the days leading up to O, as opposed to sex only on the day *of* O.  If you have sex all those days, of course it's impossible to tell which actually led to conception, but just thought I'd share my observation.

I don't know the exact day I ovulated but I can tell when its coming by cramping/CM so I just made sure we did the deed the day I started cramping and then the next day after that, plus we continued with EOD for about 4 or 5 more days just in case I ovulated later than I thought. We were lucky and it worked the first cycle.

Lol, unfortunately I havent had EWCM in 8 months (not really sure why, sometimes it gets watery, but usually its just creamy). 

I'm sorry for your previous loss:(

GL with this PG!

We had sex twice the month we conceived, and only one of those times was in the fertile period. We had sex the day before I ovulated and it worked.

The only time I had sex the week of ovulation, it was 3 days before O.

My previous bfp, I had sex 3 days and 2 days before O and the day after (not the day before or the day of) O.

Awesome! Even better on the hope factor for me lol. PS your DH must have some awesome swimmers!

We had sex the day before and the day of Ovulation. The bigger difference for us seems to be not having used any lube during those times. We had had sex on or near O for previous months, but I had never said no to lube before.

 Good luck to you! Hope you get your positive soon!

Hey Kara!

Nice to see you, lady! I was wondering where you'd dissapeared to until I saw you back on TTGP recently.

Anyhoo - We did it everyday about 5 days leading to O and including O, and then the day after for good measure.

We did that for 6 months until sperm met egg.

I hope it's your time soon, hon.

Thanks Kara - and I'll keep you posted. I'm keeping my eye on your chart too.

I wasn't charting, so I don't know.

My First BFP we had sex 4 days before O day, we thought we were avoiding! ( I O'd a day early)

This time we did it twice a day once I got a + OPK and once the day after.( I know they don't recommend it, but DH wanted to, and I thought it wouldn't hurt!)

jteneback

We had sex 4 days before O and the day before O, so pretty much that one time that counted.

If you look at my chart, you can see how often we BD that cycle. I started charting late so FF couldn't detect O, but I'm assuming it was right around when I started charting. Lots o sex, that's all I'm saying

robbie3982

We only had sex the day before O.

jc51723

We had sex one time this month, as embarrassing as that is to admit!  Amazingly enough it was 4 days (!!) before when I think I O'd (ff clearly had my O date wrong -- not sure what they were thinking).  I am honestly not sure how I got pregnant this cycle!!  All those months of going at it 5 or 6 days in a row around O time and I get pregnant THIS cycle!

LadyXaverian

The only days I had sex during my fertile time during my BFP cycle were 2 and 3 days before ovulation.

In the previous 9 cycles, I always had sex the day OF ovulation, as well as the days before and the day after. My BFP cycle was the cycle when we had the "worst" timing.

bunnybaby11

If my calculations are correct we BD'd the night before I would have ovulated. HTH

TheCricket

That is exactly how we got our BFP - but the funny thing is I didn't know that was a possible way. I thought we blew it because we missed the actual day I ovulated. Little did I know...

Green*Flamingo

We only had sex one time the entire month due to DH bring out of town a bunch for work- it was 4 days before O.
