EOD question

I am going to try EOD this cycle, but I had a quick question...
For those of you whom have sex EOD, do you continue EOD during your fertile time (or when you get a +opk)? or do you start ED when it is getting closer?
TIA

Re: EOD question
I use the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor. I tend to get 3 to four days of high readings before my peak reading. I make sure that we EOD or ED from the day of the first high reading until 2 days after my first peak reading.
Good luck!
ETA: Sorry, I didn't read your question closely enough. I also use OPKs and tend to get a positive before my peak reading on the monitor. We ED starting with the positive OPK.
EOD = Every other day
ED = Every day
Some experts recommend having sex every other day as opposed to every day during the fertile window, but usually that advice is reserved for those who have sperm issues.

Ahhh, yes. Thanks!
If you have reason to believe that DH might not be "restocking" quickly enough, then keep doing EOD even in the fertile window. Otherwise, I might try for ED the few days before you think you will O.
We can never seem to get the ED thing to work out, and usually end up with EOD anyway.
