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

[Junebug_CJ]

With Zoëlle: the 4 days before but NOT the day of...
With this one: the 2 days before AND the day of...

It's the 2 days before that are the biggest hitters based on the readings I did... Seems the need to be there and waiting for the egg to be released for ideal timing! So if one would HAVE to chose between, say, the day before OR the day of O, the day before is the way to go

well we BD'd the day of Ov but I'm guessing like many others we also did it the day before and the day before that etc too, so who knows which one got there. I guess if you did a mutliple choice poll with more options before O you might get a clearer picture.

Thanks Voodoo, yes I guess that my thought was that no-one knows which one got the egg so it was more a question of the fact that you can only prove that a non-O BD got the egg if you didn't BD on O day itself, so any other data would be superfluous and wouldn't really prove anything

am fairly certain we didn't bd on the day of ov but the day/night before x

5 days before and 2 days after. On a business trip by my self and was sure the month had been wasted.

My three boys were 2 days prior 1 day prior and day of O vulation. With Ava it was 3 days before ovulation. Sadly I lost her but I was starting to believe that the longer from ovulation say days 5,4,3 the more likely you were for having a girl, don't know how true that is but it worked for me cause all my boys were conceived 2 days to 1 day to the day of ovulation,.

I have 4 boys but not sure when i ov'd with them This is a girl and i DTD 2 days before ov and day of ovulation so not sure but on good luck.

We dtd on O day and the two days after.

I am not sure with my first baby but we dtd only once exactly 14 days before I got my BFP the day I expected AF (it was probably the day before O as I have slightly shorter cycles) With my second DD we DTD 3, 2 and 1 day before O but not on the day of ovulation. Both were girls.

Apparently the experiment that they used to try to prove the gender theory that having sex a longer time before ovulation results in more girls did not actually prove the theory as more boys were born for every day than girls except for the people that had sex the day AFTER ovulation (12h later) so now someone has a proposal that if you want a girl you should have sex the day after ovulation. I wouldn't dtd based on either of those theories and would just be grateful for either.

LOL Tanikit, I did wonder about that theory - i think like you I will take what I can get!

We DTD leading up to getting a Post OPK... but once we got that Pos+ I went in for my IUI... then were told to DTD the next day or two to cover our basis. Basically once that spike hits your good to go
