How much do you "do it" around ovulation?

  Well with baby no. 1 I was opsessed with BD for four days straight, but my DH has told me that with no. 2 that will not happen, so my plan is every other day a few day before and make sure I do it on the day of O (i'm pretty reg on my cycles).  It sounds good to me. GL.

  Before I was doing monitored cycles, my RE said to BD cycle day 10, 12, 14 unless you know that you ovulate earlier or later than day 14.

  This is a funny question to me just because *usually* we do it as soon as I get a +opk and the day after, and maybe the day after that too (when we're TTC naturally, that is....).  But last week I kept waiting to get a +opk and it didn't happen when I thought it would (delayed, probably, by having done an IVF cycle the month before), and then I also read somewhere that it's good to do it the day before you get a +, too....so I made DH do it 6 days in a row! Suffice it to say we were both exhausted.....

  I think it depends.  I've read that every day isn't necessarily best as DH's sperm count could decrease. 

  Me:39 DH:46 TTC since 11/08
  HSG: good; Estradiol: 62 FSH: 4.4
  AMH: 0.75 Progesterone: 9
  DH: Volume: 1.2 Motility 34
  Concentration: 39.6 Morphology: 5
  Looking at IUI in Nov

  That seems like enough to me. When we conceived DS we did it everyday or every other  day around when I thought I O'd and did it the night I got a smiley face on the OPK.

  We do it every day around o, maybe skipping a day or so in that 4-5 day period. We don't have any sperm issues, though.

  We do every other day, starting four days before ovulation and going at least a few days after.  My cycle is pretty regular, but this is just in case.  We'll go at things this way for a few months and if no BFP, we'll try using a OPK.
