How often is too often?

[starz01]

Hey girls,

I've decided that this month we would BD EVERY DAY so see how we go at getting pg but after doing a quick search on Google there are a million different comments on how long you should wait for the man's sperm to replenish.

Some say it takes 24 hours and some say 48 hours and that you shouldn't do it every day. I want to obviously give ourselves the best possible chance this month but now I'm confused about how often we should be intimate.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Hun, I Have NO idea!

Some say every second - third day. Some say every day can't hurt.

My solution is, so long as you two still want to bd as often as possible, go for it!

Men and women have conceived for thousands of years without counting the hours between ejaculation (scuse the grossness haha) so you can too!

Our successful month with Miss P, we DTD every second day after AF finished, then every day from about CD 12-16 (28-29 day cycle) then every second day until BFP. Worked for us!

[~me~]

Every second day did the trick for us

I know of one lady did it only once around ovulation time...she is now a few weeks pregnant.

Do it as much as you can, but don't stress if you can't or don't want to do it everyday xoxoxox


Love MN ;-)

We DTD every second day & fell pg with DD. This time around it hasn't happened for us DTD every second day but I do have annovulatory cycles.

My FS said every 2nd day

Hi hon We only DTD twice the month we fell PG with DD. It was December and a super busy month with a lot of house guests so getting some 'alone' time proved difficult! We DTD on cd13 and cd16 and I o'd on cd16.

I think if you want to DTD every day in your fertile time then go for it but it can effect conception chances IF there are male fertility issues.

i got maybe baby saliva test for ovulation & we dtd every day for a week and fell pregnant, my specialist told me everyday, he told me although there wont be as much amount of sperm the quality will be higher!

good luck!

I would try getting an ovulation kit from the chemist and DTD everyday during your fertile window.

Much less exhaustive!

A big thank you to everyone who gave me your thoughts on this topic. At the moment we're trying to get in as much BDing as possible and hoping for the best. I guess at the end of the day if I don't get my BFP this month then there is always next month. I should be due to O in the next few days so fx I have some luck

Just thought I'd pop in again hon - got my BFP today (PG with #2) and we only DTD once - yup, just once. That's all it takes. I have FF, digital OPKs and damn good timing to thank. Being WAY to prepared for TTC sure paid off for us. We DTD the day before I o'd. I knew the time was right by looking at my chart, my past charts and my CM. I got a positive OPK the next day then solid temp rises. HTH!

We were ttc for 38 months before we finally got our little miracle. We dtd every second day the whole time cos that's what our fs told us to do, but the month we concieved little O we dtd every day, so I think if you're both up for it then go for it! but I wouldn't do it more than once a day! GL Hun Xxoo

I read recently that "they" are now saying DTD every day is actually good. Yes, it does reduce sperm count but not so drastically that there's nothing left, and apparently the sperm that is left is actually stronger and healthier. Who knows though really - there are so many different opinions out there.

Just remember (as one gorgeous friend reminded me recently), it only takes one little swimmer ! My DD2 was definitely conceived after a one time DTD that month.

[tanyaya]

wow Keli - i get exhausted just reading about DTD on a daily basis !

[Keli]

wow Keli - i get exhausted just reading about DTD on a daily basis !

Lol Tanyaya yes and after 38 months DTD is not so much fun anymore!

[DaydreamBeliever]

DH and I are DTD every day this month. We have been trying for 12 months and had been doing it every 2nd day so we are hoping this works this month. GL and FX for you.
