    A little bit tired but it's only month 3 of trying so we are still keen and I think it's true that the more you do it, the more you want it :o Sorry to lower the tone :rotfl:
    I just wasn't sure if it might effect the chances, I figured the more BD the better but just wanted to check because I keep seeing things saying every other day.

    I would have thought that the quality in the sperm would be lower? It lives for 3 days inside anyway so every other day should technically be more than enough.

    YAY! Congratulations Mrs_T_M! :j:j:j:j

    Also YAY! For Part Mouse :j:j:j:j fingers crossed for you!

    A quick question if you don't mind please ladies. I don't know if this is a silly one or not but when TTC is there such thing as too much BDing?
    I was looking at some Sperm Meets Egg Plan and that said to BD every other day until OV and then every day for 3 days.
    Hubby and I BD-ed every day from CD8 until yesterday CD23, I just wondered if there was a reason for them saying every other day? Is that just so you don't get to tired and you should be covered if you need a rest? If you BD every day do the swimmers not work as well?
    Feel silly for asking lol :o

    Also please can I be updated to Awaiting AF thank you x

    I'm glad you asked this as I'd be interested to know too. We tend to BD most days anyway, just for fun. I think OH would be far from happy if we had to do it less to TTC :o

    On the phone with DH (he always calls on his way home from work). I have the camera that can record video set up to catch this. He's about 20-30 minutes away and I'm nauseated from the excitement!

    Yes this is what I was wondering, I don't know if it loses it potency or whether OH will just be producing more once those supplies are used up.

    Exactly, seems a shame to BD less when you are having fun but I was just curious if it made a difference. I have seen lots of conflicting info.

    Bd frequency wise - both times I got pg we did it every day in the 2-3 days before ov & ov. So 3-4 in a row. The rest of the month we hardly did it at all lol!

    He squeeked!

    Only things different this cycle: I actually ate meat/protein more, and we only dtd once this entire month :eek: and that was 2 days before I ov'd!

    Thank each and every one of you for making me so welcome all this time. I hope to see every one of you in the other boards, and soon! I will still be lurking. ;)
