when it comes to IUI's, we were recommended to DTD same night or next day. also it was suggested not to abstain before FET but i can't remember why.... i know i could never bring myself to do anything night before cos of the "what if there is some there during transfer" factor - ewwwwww, but 24 hours before we always did. even for IUI's, we dtd most times that morning without DH being able to finish - cos i read somewhere orgasm helps to prime the uterus too... go figure!
i have read so much now, i just can't remember what i read where!
i've got a sex and tww question... dtd and hubby noticed things had "tightened up'' quite substantially. arhm. anyway. just wondering if that is the crinone gel's doing? BT tomorrow hopefully for some good news so if i'm UTD, would that be a cause?
Hayley, I am really not sure hun, but I do know that I have also noticed a tightening but I am also still on progesterone support (pessaries after using crinone in the TWW). I hope someone else may be able to cast a bit more light on it.
there's a couple of things that might cause tightening - one being the progesterone meds, another being that, if you've not dtd for a while, you might be a bit "tighter" naturally. i know when DH is away for work, it's always a firmer fit first time around when we're together again because i think the muscles need more encouragement to stretch a bit (and i think, cos he hasnt had any for a while, his girth is a bit bigger...)
i've definitely felt different DTD every time since pg...
Just to throw out a completely different opinion - my clinic promotes dtd on the same night after embryo transfer. They told me there were studies that showed that sex increases the blood flow to that region and this increase can assist the embie in attaching.
Who knows?????????? I am going to give it a go because my previous 7 attempts i have completely abstained the whole tww and all bfn
