Poll: When did you BD around O when you got your BFP?

[Butterfly67]

Well I hope you don't mind me posting this in here ladies but I wondered, as a few of us seem to be worried about maybe not BDind on O day, whether you know what day you got pg and if it was O day or not so would be glad if you could answer my poll thanks

Ah sorry April! - babydance aka

lol. sorry, i am not sure of all the abbreviations quite yet.

For us, we had sex every day after i stopped the pill. I figured there was a good change I would not ovulate at all the first month or two. As it turns out, I ovulated about four weeks after my last pill withdrawal bleed. This would have been a good two weeks after I was expecting my regular period (if I was regular after the pill). I guess, since we were having sex daily, we most definitely had sex on the day of ovulation.

Before, on and after! No idea which one was successful

Thanks ladies, I guess I'm kind of hoping that there are a bunch of ladies that did not BD on the exact O day just to prove that you don't have to to get pg But that is kind of impossible to tell if you did BD every day! But if you know you didn't then that helps lol

i only know this cos it was the day of the royal wedding lol

Three days before ovulation then we BD on the O day!

 

[Seity]

We only BD once that month and it was 2 days before OV to conceive Gabriel.

Two days before and one day before but not on the day of.

Older women tend to ovulate later in their cycle. I met a lady on a playground once who was 50 years old with a 4 year old daughter. She and her husband were seperated at the time and she had gone by his place once and only once and they ended up having sex. She says it was about 2 days before her period was due to start and she got pregnant.

I read that is the biggest mistake older women make, is stopping too early in the month, regardless of what your thermometer says.

I figure if you have sex everyday that about covers it.

 

[vintage67]

A lot more difficult than it sounds April!

 

[Sewergrrl]

A few days preceeding O and the day of O. I really think I O'd a day earlier than FF thinks, so if that's true, also the day after O. I think softcups and preseed may have helped for the BFP.

 

[Butterfly67]

Interesting results so far ladies, thanks. I was thinking that maybe you don't necessarily have to BD on O day but it seems at the moment that more of you have - whether that was the one that 'took' we will never know but I'll be interested to see more results

If the dating for the baby is right, then I was one day before. (I have no idea when I ovulate.)

No BFP for me yet, but I recently read a study that said it was better to have sex prior to O than on the day of O. I suppose the reasoning is that it takes time for the sperm to make its travel to the tubes and you want the sperm there and ready when the egg pops.

I also read a related article saying that the probability of conception was higher on they day/s when fertile-type cervical mucus was present (within the 6 day window prior to O - even 6 days prior) than say 2 days before O if no such discharge was present. In other words, the fertile mucus is pretty important in conception.

This is the first month I'm tracking CF. Noticed it was present yesterday and happened to get my first positive OPK so made sure to BD last night. I may ovulate today or tomorrow - won't know until a few more day of temps.

I randomly looked through charts on another site and found a lot of 3 days prior to O BFP charts so maybe that explains it.

When i got pg with DS we dtd on O day. This had to be the day i conceived because there was a 4 day gap and O took me by surprise a couple of days earlier than expected. This time around i do not plan on dtd on O day because i really want to increase my chances of having a girl. Dont get me wrong i would love another boy as well.

 

[jo14]

I was terrible this month we did it eveyday for two weeks straight LOL my OH was knackered LOL

 

[poppy666]

With my last DS i dtd once that mth on cd14 and got my bfp. This time i was temping etc and dtd 2 days before ov and day of ov on cd10.
