How often do you do it?

B&C03B&C03
in Trying to Get Pregnant
DH and I conceived our 8 month old DS on the first try  (we got lucky) when I was 38 and DH 41, now I am 39 (will be 40 in Oct) / DH 42 and we decided to try again. 8/1 - 8/6 are supposed to me my lucky days according to the ovulation calendar. Does this mean we are supposed to try / do it every night from 8/1 - 8/6? We did it last night.

    sounds like you are doing just fine! BTW I am going to 40 in October too trying for #2.. except this time.. I have been off BC for two years. If you can do it everyday...then by God go for it!

    My doctor told me every other night around the time you should be ovulating.

    EOD is ok, sperm can live up to like 5 days inside you.  Don't go overboard or it will lower his count.  GL!

    goodness, it's like the blind leading the blind around here.

    1. ovulation calendars are crap.  if they are right for you, it's only a coincidence. go to fertilityfriend.com and read the tutorials (get there by clicking on my ticker.)

    2. EOD or ED is fine, unless your husband has known sperm issues.

    3.  please read some posts on this page there is a ton of information that can help you. start with this one https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/31027678.aspx

    welcome and best of luck :)

    According to what ovulation calendar? If you're not charting your temps, check out Fertility Friend - you can click the link in any of our signatures. Otherwise it is just a guess as to when you are ovulating.

    If you are charting somewhere, then you can try every other day or every day if there aren't any known issues for DH.
