how often?

[Em123]

Hi,

I went to my doctor yesterday and asked her how often I should BD. She said every day, if possible!

I'd been following the SMEP as I thought that was the best way. (It seems to be the most recommended way, at least on the web).

I'm willing to try BDing every day but am just slightly worried we'll both run out of steam!

What do you think?

Thanks

If you're afraid of running out of steam bd every other day to every other 2 days is just fine... You'll wanna start bd as soon as AF is gone until you're within 2 days from AF reappearing. Bd everyday can(not always) lower sperm count. Have fun and good luck

I agree with above.

Don't BD every day, unless it's what you really actually feel like doing. It'll get tired very quickly.

BD'ing every second day is definitely the best option. It's what we do, and then sometimes we do it a few days in a row, but only because we want to, not because we are forcing ourselves to

Thanks ladies. I think BDing every other day until most fertile period is the way I prefer to go.

Baby dust to everyone! xx

My doctor said that from day 10-16 every day, then when ever the mood strikes after. My husband's urologist said every other day at most. The sperm becomes more diluted the longer you go every day.

Sperm take time to mature, most Dr's will say every day to every other day, most RE's will say every other day and then on the day of ovulation. We were told every day due to SA numbers because at that point we needed quantity over quality BUT IMO you do want quality sperm because if a lower quality sperm is the one that causes pregnancy you can lose the pregnancy. I would do EOD, every day is really tiring and then seems like a chore

i do it for the 4 days around ovulation x

My fertility doctor said every 3rd day is best.

Every other day from day 8 until 2 days before expected next period is the bes way in my opinion. That way you don't miss any fertile days and if you ever got lazy with temping, you covered all your days.

me and hubs were just trying to figure this out too. I am tracking my BBT and OPK results. We have had BD every other day since my last AF and then the three days consecutively before Glow told me I was going to Ovulate (which lined up with the OPK)

Anyways, we are wondering if there is point to BD after I've had my LH surge..

We did every other day starting the day after AF and then switched to every day starting 1-2 days before O. Worked for us as we conceived in the first month trying!

You're so lucky. xxx
