TTC - Timing Sex Question

NDGOIRISH

Hi ladies,

 Sadly, I'm back on CD 1 - BOOH HISSS!

I'll be charting this month, but I have a question about when you have sex, specifically the time of day.

Last month we pretty much did it every night right before bed so I could just lay there and fall asleep- so it would "absorb" better.

Do you think it's wise to try at different times during the day or is night optimal since you lay there for hours?

I've had this same thought...I will be interested to see responses.  I like the hypothesis about it "absorbing"...I think that way too!

I'm not sure that it really makes a difference...but I've never thought about it.

I think that I read in What to Expect Before You're Expecting that sperm is stronger in the morning. ?We don't really have time for BDing in the morning during the week, so we haven't tried it out yet. ?I'm also not really sure that the evidence they found fully supported it.

I've heard this too. But I honestly don't think it would make that much more of a difference, if any.

I read this too. I've also noticed that I have the most CM in the mornings, so I'm going to try to get some AM sex in this week as soon as I get over this cold!!

I normally get it on at night, and I try to lay there for about 15 minutes or so, but I am afraid to any longer bc of UTI risk-i'm pretty prone to that stuff.  But I don't shower until morning, so maybe some absorbs?  I never have time in the AM, either.  I think as long as you are doing it EOD or so.

Since we both get up pretty early, there isn't much time, so we do it at night.  The absorbtion theory sounds like a good plan.  I know there are other ladies on this board who already have children, but have you tried asking one of the Trimester boards to see what they found to work?  You may get more responses.

I could see where timing might matter, because I have read that the egg can survive for as little as 12 hours.

We usually do it at night as well because the morning isn't always easy to do.

Just make sure you pee. UTIs are evil.
