Those who use CM as indicator of upcoming ovulation

How often do you BD once you have abundant EWCM?

For me I do every day for 5 days after I have the last trace of EWCM. That is to cover my basis. Hope that helps

So is it best to wait till the EWCM is close to leaving to start BDing every day or every other day? I'm asking because DH has had a hard time being ready on the important days in the past, so I don't want to exhaust him with too much BDing before I really need to LOL.

we try to DB every other day when I get the first sign of fertile cm.

My DH has a hard time being ready every day too - every other day is really a stretch for him.

I would do it the day you have the EWCM and then at least every other day if possible

To cover your basis I would do it every other day, I normally start on CD10 until I O. I hope that helps a little.

once.

*I should clarify that I'd like to do at least every other day, but our schedules suck and it ends up being just once most of the time. It's worked three times though in getting me pregnant, so we must be good at picking the day. lol. next time we plan to do it more frequently though, to ensure even better chances.

I usually get watery or EWCM prior to O. By the day of O, EWCM is gone. Everyone's body is different, though. BD every other day really should be sufficient until you know you've O'd.

I would wait until I got and almost +opk or and then have sex for 3-4 days, that's want I normally do, anyway.

Sorry, I posted before I finished by accident, I really don't trust fertile CM since I only see it on one day and it's about 1-3 days before I get a positive opk. Just to make sure I always do it the day I see it at least, but I'd stick to opks

Thanks. Will keep doing the OPKs. The last 2 days they've been negative. I don't think I ovulated last cycle and I didn't have much EWCM like I typically do 2-3 days prior to O, so I'm happy that this cycle I'm back to having lots of it. Might also BD today if DH is in a good mood and then will keep watching the OPKs.
