Most studies say that it is more beneficial to BD once a day. A while ago they used to say every 2nd day but now they've realised every day is best. I also don't know how long it takes for it.to.travel down the fallopian tube but once you've ovulated your egg starts to break down and is gone by 24hours later so the aim is to have lots of BD before Ov so the spermies cans catch a fresh newly released egg
AFM - 2nd day od temp rise signalling Ov so BD marathon is over and it's 2dpo and into the 2ww for me
Wish me luck it's my first preseed cycle.
I just read your reply, we went ahead anyway lol. That's interesting about everynight. He had to give an SA and refrain for 3-5 nights, apparently that gives optimum sample? Yet I've read a book by professor winston who said dtd every day as research has shown it's more likely to produce pregnancy. Also smep advises every other day and then every day for 3 days after +opk. Maybe everybody is different & it works for some and not others?
Fingers crossed for you and thanks for your advice xxx
I meant everyday during your fertile window which is basically what both those people say.
3-5days would probably give you the biggest reading which would be best in terms of sperm analysis. But i read somewhere in terms of TTC if you refrain for an extended period of time that first ejaculation is mostly full of dead spermies. I read somewhere that recommended BD once around 4 days before your fertile window BD marathon so by the time you start your marathon it's all fresh sperm and not over 4 days old. I think the people who are usually told to do BD less than every day are those whose hubbies have low sperm count so they REALLY need to build it up before BD.
You seem to know your stuff, I get you when u mean every day during fertile window, I think DH would wear himself out if it was constantly every night lol, even though he complains about only doing it every other day anyway. We tried every night for one cycle, by day 5 he physically couldn't manage it, which happened to be ovulation, I think that's when I decided to relax about it a bit more as don't want to make it about timing and ruin the spontaneity for me (he's said from the start he doesn't want to know when fertile days are).
Anyway, we will know next month what is best for us once SA results from February are back, then again, that's what his swimmers looked like 3 months before (and he's stopped alcohol since then too) so for all we know his February results could have changed in a big way since he gave that SA in.
Have subconsciously smepped this month on soy too, cycle 14 and AF due on our 1st anniversary. Good luck to all of you!
bitch arrived this morning 
. I'm not going to take soy this cycle as i'm not sure if or when i ovulated last cycle
, going to have a natural cycle & see what's going on
