TTGP poster...just have a quick question

First off, congratulations!!! You are so lucky, and July is a great month!!

Second, I wanted to see how many girls had sex every other day as opposed to every day on the cycle you got your BFP. I will probably ovulate this weekend, so I wanted to see what your opinions were on this topic.

Thanks for your help! I hope to join everyone on the 1st tri soon!

  • Hey Mel,

    DH and I had sex on CD12 and CD13 both PM and I either O'd on CD13 or 14.

    Good luck this cycle!

    "Well I've waited so long, so long, so long For someone like you And as this morning breaks through the window pane It reveals the truth Baby, you're my sunshine, first light Find your way to places that only know lies Failed tries and bruised skies With hardly time to hold on or be strong, now I'm strong 'Cos like the dawn you push it all away I tell ya, you're my sunshine
    Everybody needs a little sunshine"

  • This month, DH and I had sex two days before O day (my best guess at O day since I started taking provera that week in an attempt to get AF to come, since my RE told me that I had no viable eggs). That was the only time we had sex in a 2 week stretch.

    It is said that if there aren't any sperm issues, you can go everyday. If there are sperm issues, EOD is best. But really, both of them can work assuming there aren't any fertility issues. Good luck!

  • My ovulation is like clockwork so we did it 1 day before and 2 days after...I kept the swimmers in for as long as possible...you can raise your bum with a pillow or do the candle...you're likely going to fell like a fool doing the candle thing but it's worked twice on the first go around and we've been married for 7 years...Wink 

    Good Luck TTGP!

  • We had sex every day the three days prior and day of both cycles that we got PG. Good luck!

  • I recognize you from TTGP.  I had sex 3 days before O, 1 days before O, and the big O day.  (I'm sure there was a more efficient way to write that out, but I'm exhausted and I think I left my brain at work.)  I hope that helps!

     Edit: I double checked FF and got the wrong days.  They are correct now.

  • Every other day is perfectly valid if you suspect there might be a sperm issue. When trying for my first, we did every other day around ovulation for lots of cycles. But both BFP cycles included sex the day before and on ovulation day.

  • We were basically doing every other day, although I'm pretty sure that we conceived the day we has sex in the AM and PM. It's hard to say because I stopped temping around the time I ovulated because I was just frustrated, and then our BD'ing slacked off after that.
  • For the three days prior to O day. All three in the PM.
  • We did every other day, but had sex more frequently once we got a + OPK.

  • I Oed late on CD18, but we did the BD for three days before, twice on, and once the day after. 

    Good luck to you!

  • We had sex the 3 days leading up to O-day, but not on actual O-day. 

     In my opinion, more is better, unless your hubs has a low sperm count. Good luck!!!

  • Previous months I would freak out adn when I got a + OPK DH and I would have sex ED for 3 days and then we would be worn out and not do it for 3 days. This month since I wasn't charting I told him we would just do it EOD. I think we were missing our most fertile day and we caught it this time since we didn't stop having sex after I thought I O.

  • Based on FF we actually had sex the day after O(although I am thinking I O'd on CD14 instead of 13).  I got my first  + OPK on Friday and we had sex that night(tech sat early morning), Sat night and Sunday AM. Luckily a friend gave us a stay at a hotel for that weekend.  I doubt we would have had that much sex if we were home...thank you Marriot!!! LOL

  • Every second day around when I know I would O. This is going to sound stupid, but I also propped my butt up in the air for half an hour after each time- gravity can't hurt, right?! Stick out tongue GL!!

  • Hi Mel, I recognize you from TTGP!

    We had sex 5, 3 and 1 day before O.  There's a link to my chart in my siggy if you'd like to check it out!  Good luck to you!

  • Thanks for all of your replies!
  • Here's my chart - https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/16269a

    We had sex as soon as I had EWCM up until the day I O'd  (I O'd a day late this cycle so we thought it was the day after ovulation).. so yeah, 6 days in a row :)

    We did the same the cycle I got pregnant with my son :)
