How often to BD?

[Angel022605]

Ladies I'm in need of opinions. How often do I need to BD? If I BD every day I've read it can lower sperm count but increase sperm motility. If I BD every other day it canow increase sperm count but lower sperm motility. Any answers are greatly appreciated

I'd go with every 2nd day but that's me I tried once BDing every single fertile day and DH and I felt it was a bit much Didn't get pregnant either. However I've since been through 6 failed medicated IUIs, 1 IVF that ended in a CP in December and am currently doing IVF #2 (diagnosed as "unexplained infertility"). So yeah......

To be honest I don't think it matters all that much. I've seen people here BD only 3-4 days before O and get a BFP and people that BDed every fertile day and get a BFN.

Good luck whatever you decide to try

I'd say every other day. I think it would up your chances as it gives your OH a day to build up some more swimmers lol at least that's what me and DH are trying. Good luck!

That's a good question I'm trying to figure out. So my logic is if the counts are ok but motility isn't great maybe do it as much as possible, but if its the other way around than maybe every other day. Sometimes I don't think any way is the right way LOL just try and have enjoyable sex when the mood strikes (but don't miss that fertile window of course) has your partner gotten a sperm analysis? I've read a lot lately about maca root pills and a supplement for men to help with healthy sperm! I may try that for my husband soon, I've heard great things.
