Can you DTD to much?

[Becka.]

Hi I have been told by my sis (who is super fertile she is on her 9th baby)that I DTD to many times last month. We DTD everyday around OV and evey two days after that. I thought the more we DTD the best chance we would have of getting the right day. I'm not sure when my OV day is but this month I got some OPK and I'm doing my BBT to make sure I get the best chance.

Hi hun, I don't think you can do it too much per se but I have read somewhere that in order to get a healthy supply of sperm then it's best to keep it on a more regular schedule like every 2 to 3 days rather than everday during your cycle for example but obviously in order to maximise potential of conception then I think everday around ov is fine.

The only time it is too much is if you are doing it multiple times in one day. Sometimes it can dwindle down the mans sperm count and they usually need a day to recover.

But from what you are doing, you are doing great!

We've always done it everyday for a week but I know that if your OH has a low sperm count it should be alternate days only. Good luck.

I might sound stupid here but I keep reading about this PRE SEED and I don't no what it is and were to get it from. It sounds good but is it for people with problems TTC or any one?

It's a sperm friendly lube that mimics egg white cm. It's for everyone I use it when it's a few days before ov and I have watery but not egg white. I always need lube though as I have a narrow vagina so even when I have plenty of my own fluid it's not enough.

I think it really depends on dh's semen analysis. I got my dh tested because we were also dtd every day at o time, and I wasn't sure if that was good or not. His analysis came out above average so we continued to do that. I have read that if they are on the lower side, then every other day is better as it lets the sperm build up more. Not sure how true this all is, but that is what I read.

If you're in the UK it might be easier to get Conceive Plus from
Boots, it's the same thing.

True!

I am pregnant right now, and I conceived after not DTD for an entire week due to illness, and then getting busy on the day of OV. Was not expecting that! So I think it can work out either way...

Well, me and my Husband Bd far to much for about 3 months and we didnt get pregnant, so i think you can do it too much because it reduces the sperm quality. so now We are trying to do it either once a day or every other day. I think you should definently try to not do it to much, but when its close to ov we seem to BD WAYY MORE THAN WE NEED TO because in our mind i think we still think the more you do it the more you have a chance. which isnt really the case!

we started using preeseed in our last cycle.

My hubbys sperm moves very slowly so i think presseed will help that because it helps the sperm reach easier! I got my preseed from ebay

goodluck

On the cycle I conceived, my OH and I dtd every other day from when AF finished until I hit 'peak' on my CBFM and then we dtd every day for 3 days (twice on the day I ovulated).
Oh, and we used Conceive Plus that cycle too

I have read that the best way to optimise sperm motility/numbers is to dtd every 2-3 days but I am now 6 weeks pregnant with a honeymoon baby and we were dtd at least once a day and sometimes 2 or 3 times a day!! After I read this I was sure that I wouldnt get my BFP but was proved wrong a week after getting back off honeymoon!!

Heather- what's "soy iso"?

 

[pinksprinkles]

Sperm are constantly forming in a man's body. They take a few months to form and are constantly becoming available. All current research shows that the more you have sex right around the time you ovulate, the more likely you are to conceive. Think about it, even if a guy COULD "run out" of sperm by the end of the day and need the night to build up a more concentrated batch, he'd be out because they're all inside you. The most recent research shows the little guys can live 3-4 days on average, and most recent pregnancy studies in medical journals say that getting some BD in on the 3 days before ovulation, the day of O, and the day after O gives you the best chance. Men make a LOT of sperm. The more you BD around O the better. Use CM/CP checks along w/your BBT chart to figure out exactly what your body is doing, and then like bunnies for those 5 days. If your OH is a normal, healthy man he will be making a deposit to the baby bank each time he finishes.

I agree pinksprinkles we BD'ed every day and got pregnant on 1st try!

Woot!

 

[Fliss]

I've been told that if you're both in the 'normal' range for everything then everyday is fine.

I've decided to try that for 6 months and if we don't fall to get pre seed or it's equivalent, then if it takes more time to go straight to the drs to get tests.

DH has been banned from using his laptop on his lap and he's taking vits too - I started that because I was worried he was crash dieting, now I'm keeping him doing it cos it's better for TTC.

Good luck lovely

I asked My fertility consultent this as I was worried about it we are every day not just because we trying for a baby just we have a very good sex life I tryed the every other day for 3months and didnt work, but fertilty consultent said that there is no such thing as doing it to much unless partner has a low sperm count then try every other day, otherwise do it has often as you like or want!

 

[youngwife20]

I bd 6 times this cycle = achieved my bfp for the last 6 cycles i bded every single day= no bfp i think itl just happen when its ready but it think not bd to much helped

 

[Stinas]

Honestly...I feel like there is no way we can bd every single night. I would love to, but with my dh crazy long hours...the poor guy would be a walking zombie and would probably bite my head off after a week of it.
We are doing every other day, but Im going to try to do every day this week because my opk are getting darker and I just have a good feeling.
I just feel like every other day is just not enough...like im missing out. grrr...ttc is driving me mad!
