How often do you BD?

[CharliesMommy]

I was just wondering how often you guys in hopes of a BFP. I know older research suggested every other day. But, new research says that you should every day for the best chances of getting pregnant since the longer the sperm hangs around the testicles the more it degenerates and breaks down causing chromosonal abnormalities. We dtd 3x a day morning, afternoon, and night from CD7-CD20. Maybe we are doing something wrong. What do you ladies do (especially those of you with BFP's)?

Woah, we don't do it that much!

This cycle we done it a few times during ovulation and 1 DPO. Normally I am too tired as I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

crikey! i also suffer chronic fatuige syndrome we manage to bd every day for about a week over my ov time! hes lucky if he gets it once a week outide of that time!

 

[CharliesMommy]

Yeah, we dtd at least once a day outside of ov time, and he has the nerve to complain that he doesnt get it enough! What a spoiled brat.

 

[schnoodle]

hes a lucky guy

We try to everyday for the week around O time and then every other day for as we can.

I wonder if 3x per day may be too much as there is very little time to build up sperm reserves (this was the reason for every second day) This month we did it every day (once a day) up to ovulation once I started my fertile time and we also did it 3 days before my fertile time started.

Wow. I'd like to give you a standing ovation. My mouth's hanging open and I'm just like "wha? .. how?"

I think my DH thinks daily BD is good in theory, but when I pushed for it, he's too tired to.

I wondered the same thing, this time around. We averaged about twice a day during a seven day span (from about four days before ovulation to a few days following), and once a day up until AF showed up. So, I wonder that I didn't, ah... Wear him out? Just a little? Ah, well. If nothing else, at least I know his heart is healthy. I plan to knock it back, a bit, this month. Keep it to once a day (maybe, if I can be a good girl). Let everything work itself back into motion.

And, if that doesn't work, then, Hell's Bells. I'm out of ideas. *chuckles, tiredly*

I think 3 times a day may be depleating his sperm count, and the new sperm may be too young to survive. We BD 1 time every other day for a few days before O. Then 1 time every day during O (3-4 days) then again 1 time every other day for a few days after O. It has worked for us the last 2 months in a row. The video "The Great Sperm Race" is really what gave me most of the info I made my decisions off of. It explains what sperm go through, how they need to regenerate etc. You can look up the video on youtube its in 6 parts.

Good Luck Hunni & Lots of Sticky Baby Dust!!!

haha bless you hunny xx

 

[Beccaface]

We BD every other day.
Kills us like
x

 

[schnoodle]

haha!! x

 

[stenny29]

I just got my BFP and we BD'd every other day until positive Ov test then we BD'd for the next 3 days after that.
No way could I BD 3 times a day!! lol, I was getting tired with BDing every other day never mind that!
Plus we have a 4 year old so trying to do it 3 times daily would be a bit tricky!
Seriously though my GP advised us to BD 3 to 4 times a week throughout the cycle just incase you can't detect exactly when you Ov x
Good luck hunny, your man doesn't know how lucky he is!! Lol x

 

[nzblondie]

We were doing the every second day thing previously, but this month we did these days:

O+1
O-1
O-2
O-3
O-4

Poor OH was so tired of sex on demand, its been a week and he hasn't touched me since! haha

 

[schnoodle]

haha same here! i ovd tue/wed we bd, the thu, fri, sat, sun, mon, tue, then the thu after!

 

[BabiNo2]

This cycle we dtd once a day for 9 days in a row during ov week which must have been like winning gold at the olympics for DH. Have only dtd twice since then. x

 

[schnoodle]

haha i know how you feel hun we were similar this cycle!

 

[lily28]

3 times a day! I wish! I'm lucky if it is 3 times a week.

 

[stacie-leigh]

Lol! 3 times a day is quite a lot ;-) Me and my partner did the deed every few days the month that we got pregnant Good luck x
