Trying to Get Pregnant

Over-thinking when to BD

Since I KNOW i'm over thinking this and I'm driving myself NUTS maybe a little input would help me stop obsessing. 

 I got a slight line on OPK today which means tomorrow i'll have a positive (usually) I should be Ovulating on either Thursday or Friday. Would you BD today, skip tomorrow and then again on Thursday? Or would you skip tonight and go for tomorrow, thursday & friday? I told myself EOD this cycle but I'm so paranoid about missing the best day. Today no EWCM yet just watery so far. 

I know this might sound silly but i can't stop thinking about what to do- even though i told myself this cycle i would not over analyze. No flames please

Re: Over-thinking when to BD

  • Since you can't know for sure when you will ovulate, I would stick with EOD as planned. The "best days" are often debated, so I don't think there is such a thing. I'd say have sex tonight and go EOD until ovulation is confirmed by FF.

    That's just what I would do! I'm not exactly an expert Smile Good luck!

  • I would just stick to EOD.  Start either tonight or tomorrow, but try not to stress too much.  Easier said than done.

  • Don't feel bad about obsessing.  I am guilty of it too!!

    I personally would BD today, Thursday, and Saturday.  That way you have the majority of your bases covered.  If you happen to ovulate early you cover it today.  If you ovulate on Thursday or Friday, BDing on Thursday should cover that.  I would also include Saturday just in case you ovulate late.  I am religiously regular and this month I ovulated 3 days after I normally do.

    Good luck!

    Me too!! I am definitely guilty!  Don't feel bad about it, sometimes its hard to line up schedules or life in general to BD so a little planning is required ;)

    I would say EOD starting today. Good luck this cycle!

    Thanks for the input ladies! Last month I didn't obsess as much and I think we BD way too much as a result of just going for ED. It calms my mind a little to hear it from someone else instead of myself!

  • I got a +OPK yesterday so we BD'd yesterday, and we will BD tomorrow and Friday. I try not to think about it to much, but I am guilty of trying to pin point the best time.  But I figure EOD is better because we can hit our FW  better.

  • I always stick to EOD and then when it turns positive (not almost positive) we do ED for the next few days.

  • I know one thing... you can't get pregnant without having sex so I would definately start humping Wink
  • We do ED during my fertile window and use opk and temps to confirm however I never stress if we miss one day bc the others are covered. I read the best days are O-2, O-1 but you can get KU with any day around O. GL and have sex when you want!

  • You sound like me this cycle. DH and I are trying EOD this cycle because we usually do ED *all the time* and decided to try and let him increase his supply in case we've used it up over the last few years. Or that was our thought. We had sex yesterday but today I saw EWCM and now I'm stressing that we should get one in today. But then I'm afraid of messing up the EOD schedule we are trying. I never thought TTC would be so stressful and I laugh at the things I have to think about. I have an OB appointment Thursday and I'm going to ask her opinion and really hope she's going to tell me I don't need to be this worried about it!  That said, I try to just be zen about it and realize we have our bases covered. Easier said than done though!

  • I would have sex tonight if I were having watery CM and we both were up for it. IMO, you never know what may happen the next day. You or your DH could come down with an illness or just be too exhausted/not have time.
