So I still haven't gotten a positive OPK yet (I think I missed it) I was gone for 2 1/2 months and so when I got home DH and I started BDing like crazy, once or twice a day. I am definitely in my fertile window... Do you think we are doing too much? Will this hinder our chances of getting pregnant?

I think now they say BDing every day is actually better because it refreshes the swimmers. I don't think it would hurt your chances but I can see how it might mess up the tests . Go crazy lady . Fingers crossed for you and sending along some baby dust.

Me and DH have always dtd every day for the past year! In fact when I concieved in Feb, we were doing it twice a day during my fertile window! And he is older (46) so his swimmers dont stay alive as long as a younger mans, so I think that doing it more often, upped our luck!

This is an interesting question!

Following my obs/gyno advice, he said to bd every second day from CD 10 til about CD 20 (assuming you are fertile during this time).

The reason he gave was if you do it every day there is not as much sperm ejaculated....

I've not only heard this, but read this too...

If your DH has a normal amount of swimmers I think every day is fine though like RhiChiChi, my OB recommend every other day for the same reasons & he also says really that's all you need & everyday is overkill. Anyway, I can tell you every other day does work... it worked last time though we had a m/c.

Anyway, GL!

As long as your DH's sperm count is okay then its fine to BD as much as possible. If he has a low count then they usually say every other day.

Good luck!!!

You know I have read and heard all the above.... I even heard that it is good for the man to HUMMM "pleasure himself" to get new swimmers in line for the deed. But if you don't know if he has a low count or not... Just another crappy thing we have to think about while TTC... GOOD LUCK!

DH has good sperm count... generally we do it ever day or every other day during my fertile window... but we just missed eachother so much in the past 10 weeks that we can't seem to get enough! I don't to slow down just because we are TTC, wecan always do it normally next cycle. I just wanted to know if it hurt our chances of getting pregnant if we BD more than once a day...

I have heard two different things - one school of thought seems to say that every other day is fine because the sperm survive 3-5 days. The other says the more the better during your fertile window. I tend to think if there is no issue with sperm count, the more the better...
