BD daily?
CJPowers

My DH and I have been TTC for 4 months (2nd months charting). We have BD every day during the fertile window. The other day my friend told me that it's not good to do it daily and that we should do it every other day. DH doesn't have any problems with sperm that we know of. What have you guys heard? Every day or every other? I know FF says more often is better in the fertile window.

Re: BD daily?
we *try* for ED during O week, but honestly, sometimes that's just too exhausting!!!

You're awesome! Your post needs to be posted with the newbie link.
We BD ED last cycle and I got KTFU. I say BD everyday if no sperm problems.
Some doctors (and researchers) recommend EOD sex because it allows the sperm to rejuvenate/replenish in the man before he ejaculates again. There is no reason to be mad at the person who told you that ED may be too much. There are two schools of thought on the subject and no general consensus on what is best.

You know you are a ***. I have been reading and following what you have been writing on other peoples posts and you are extremely rude. I have read the newbie link and your dumb link that you wrote. Some people on here are new to TTC and you always say rude things to them. Shame on other people for agreeing with you. Just because you are bitter doesn't give you the right to tell everyone off.
Thank you. That is kinda how I felt. I have heard that there are different thoughts on this and wanted to get everyone's opinion on what had worked for them. I'm sure that there is a lot depending on it. It's hard to go EOD thinking I could be waisting a day in my short fertile window. I'm not mad at my friend at all. It just got me thinking and I always wonder.. should I skip today or BD
Thanks.
This is EXACTLY how I feel!
This! It irritates me that FF only gives you an "Excellent" timing rating if you BD ED. No matter how well you time it EOD you only get a "Good."
FWIW, I'm of the EOD camp. But we also have count issues, so EOD makes sense for us.
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.
Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.
Hope is the thing with feathers - that perches in the soul - and sings the tune without the words - and never stops - at all - (Emily Dickinson)
Just to clarify, I know you aren't mad at your friend.
I just thought it was strange that the poster I quoted said "shame on" your friend for telling you that, when it's actually not bad advice at all. I was trying to direct my comments to that poster - sorry if I implied otherwise. 
I'm sorry there isn't a better answer for you, but there is definitely an ED camp and an EOD camp and at least some research to back up both! I've even seen some ladies who try to split the difference and have sex every 36 hours during the FW.

No problem. Thanks for the good advice. I think we will just play it by ear each month and change it up to see what works. I'm done TTC this month though! Too many days of BD in a row is making me go nuts!

86 posts and you're calling someone on here bitter & a b!tch because you were provided links to educate yourself and some tips on using a message board and not repeating posts over and over.... get over yourself.
I agree!!!!!
There are ways to say things that you are tired of...don't have to be mean about it. I have followed a couple of Miss Music's posts and always the same- very negative. Although, it isn't just her- there have been a couple of others too! As a newbie- it can be tiresome to go through the hundreds of posts that are on here- I find it very hard to find what i am looking for...
I have been lurking here for a while after a friend of mine from babycenter said she had a bad experience and I can totally agree! Some of you are super helpful and nice- but others- man, we need to all relax and have fun TTC!
anyways- to the question at hand- BD daily? me and my dh have been doing it every other day- but that's just us! every day can be a bit tiring and take the fun out of it! It took me awhile to realize that as well- but if you aren't having fun- then you are probably stressed and then nothing is going to happen. But if you are BDing every day and having fun then go for it!
A similar BD question was a page away, not hundreds of posts. MissMusic and most others aren't mean - we're direct and truthful. If you need fluffy posts and rainbows, you might want to stick to the other site you mentioned. If you'd like great advice given by people who won't blow smoke up your vag and cover you in silly baby dust, then feel free to lurk and stick around .
I've been a member on here WAY longer than you have. I have 86 points because I don't go poking my nose in everyones business acting like I know ALL. I never said anything to you.. so don't get involved.
I love you for agreeing with me!! It's horrible that people come on here to ask for help and they are greeted with sarcasm and BITTERNESS.
Thanks! I'm glad you feel the same way!
Wow, playing the bitter card. How original.
It's not bitterness, ladies. It's impatience. It's not that hard to search for stuff. There are also a lot of really common sense questions that are asked, too. Like I said, if either of you have the fortune of sticking around for very long, you'll see that they get tiring. If you want a baby so badly, how hard is it to google and do some research? Like I said before, use some energy, put in some effort, and do some lurking. Calling ladies bitter for advising you to utilize a search engine is immature.

OP - you were given clear, concise answers, and a link to help you find more answers. No one told you that you can't post, just pointed you to more answers about the same question. A lot of times, people answer once, and then don't open the "repeat" posts. You will find more answers by lurking and reading the posts before you.
After that, you decided to play the bitter card. Do you walk into a special ed classroom and call them 'tards? Do you attend a PRIDE parade and call them fags? But you'll come here and call us bitter? Fvck off.

This is my second account, nice try though. I didn't realize that length of time an account is active meant anything. Oh wait... it doesn't.
You can't call someone on here a bitter b!tch and not expect anyone else to comment. This is a message board, I can get involved where I want. Don't want others to comment? Don't post it.
Holy Turd Sandwich I love you.
And calling someone a "b!tch" and "bitter" isn't rude??? Please.
I will cut a you.
Oh we need to relax and have fun TTC? Thank you for the awesome tip. When should I start my fun TTC relaxation? During my Pelvic MRI next week? When I'm curled up into a ball because endometriosis is rearing it's ugly head? Oh, oh, how bout when I'm getting a needle shoved into my vein to give blood for the millionth time? Or when I'm having an emotional breakdown thanks to my Progesterone supplements? Or when I stop to think about the two pregnancies I've lost in the last four months?
When does the fun start? The sex part of TTC can be fun, sure. For many of us, though, it's pretty far past TTC being fun. You need to stop and think about what some people here are going through before you make a stupid comment like that.
