Low Sperm count and BDing

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I have a question about when to BD for men with a low sperm count. We have not tested my DH but when he was little he had one undescended testicle that required surgery to fix. According to the doctor at that time, he would never be able to have children or would have a very difficult time. Obviously he is not sterile because we got pregnant the first month that we tried. However, that ended in a mc. My question is when should we BD? When we got pregnant we BD on O-3, O-2 and O. I am wondering if that is okay or we should stick to EOD. Anyone have advice. TIA!

I know this could be a stupid question since obviously the way we did it before worked, but mc can also be caused by bad sperm. Our OBGYN does not recommend SA until we have experienced two losses. I don't really trust the over the counter testers because it just looks at count and not morphology or speediness of the sperm.

    I'm sorry for your loss. My DH has a low count and our RE told us until we start treatments to BD EOD during the fertile window.
