When's A Good Time To BD?

Question

After TTC #1 for 5 months I'm not even sure anymore, b/c the last two times I thought we hit my fertile days/period DEAD ON b/c I felt symptoms of OV within a couple of days after we had BD and even noticed the EWCM when we had BD too but no success b/c AF showed. So now I've used 3 different calcs (like I usus do)...

Mymonthlycycles which has all my accum my periods etc from 6 mos + says 23rd-26th, WebMD which takes my last 3 cycles says 19th-24th, and Babyzone which has accum of my periods for past several months says 23rd thru 27th. Each one of the last days from each site is my predicted OV day. My cycles last 28-32 days, right now I am on CD 12 so when's a good time to BD?

Answer 1

I'm on the same boat as you are! We've been trying for 3 months, no luck! So this month I'm preparing myself for good!

I've been told, have s*x EVERY OTHER not everyday. I decided to start last night, which is CD10 for me and do every other day until the 30th. I could ovulate early and I could ovulate late, so this way I'll hit the day, HOPEFULLY!

They also say DO NOT get up, lay down for at least 30 mins. We did it and went to sleep. Gravity pulls sperm down, by 30 mins later, the best of the best will have swam past your cervix. Hope this helps!

Good reminder, don't use online charts, everyones cycle is different and you may ovulate earlier or later than you think. Take an OPK.

I decided to not use anything (such as OPK or chart) because you tend to worry about it more and thats not good... take it as it comes!

Answer 2

I would start to bd today and every other day for atleast 10 days, that way you cover any possible ovulation days.
