This poll is to answer, once and for all, the question as to whether you have DTDed during your TWW, and whether it affected your chances of falling pregnant. This topic comes up every now and then, so let's get an idea of what our members think on this subject!
Thanks Loula for the suggestion for the poll. :)
Nope not us, exactly as the poll says, I didn't want to risk it.
Yep me too Sarah. We got warned off from DTD during our stim stage of the cycle, and were WAAAAAY to scared to DTD during the TWW in case we messed up the cycle. :)
we did & we got a BFP. i have to admit that neither of us really thought about whether it would affect our chances or not!
Just a thought - I think you need another option:
No we didn't and we got a BFN
Just because you have the yes we did and we got a BFN?
Good idea. I actually added TWO extra choices.
I'm not sure I can actually pick one of the poll options...
First time - yes we did, and we got a BFP, but miscarried...
Second time - no, too scared, another miscarriage...
Third time - no, way too scared, another miscarriage...
Fourth time - nope, too damned messy with the pessaries (first fresh transfer and first time I'd had luteal phase support) and got a BFP that finally turned into a real live baby.
Our clinic didn't warn us off sex at any stage - in fact during that last cycle DH was supposed to have daily ejaculations while I was on puregon, so there was a hell of a lot more sex then than at any other time during IVF... until my ovaries got too damned sore and swollen!
So... really not sure where I fit into the poll options...

I voted no cause we didn't want to risk it. Two times out of three transfers we got BFP and miscarried one. We now have a sticky one I think!
Rach xx
I voted No I didn't and got a BFP.. was the last thing on my mind especially with the pessaries
Is this for Long Term TTC without assistance as well as with?
Aaaah yes I forgot about the pessaries, that would have made for one great big mess!
:pwe dont do it in the tww its not worth the risk for us and weve got one bfp but was ectopic
hey probably silly question
but is this poll only for IVF tww or for any tww ( iui tww, natrual tww and so on?)
Nop, didn't want to take the chance.
First IVF cycle we DTD and BFN, Second IVF Cycle BFP :dance:
This poll is for Assisted Conception TWWs only. I think with natural conception, it can only help your chances to DTD while in the TWW, so this is only for those who are undergoing AC.
We did not DTD during our TWW. I didnt want to take the risk although Im sure DP wouldnt have minded ;)
Our clinic also advised us against it during a stim cycle.
we did it once before the joys of crinone came to the fore. but were told we shouldn't because i was on a full stim cycle and there may have been a little googley egg floating about... they didn't want to risk a multiple pregnancy.
we figured that we really really suck at getting UTD so if i got preg naturally while also preg on IVF that would be deemed the miracle of the century! lol.
:)
No - For our first 5 transfers - all BFN
Yes - On our last cycle and got out first BFP
Sorry for sounding stupid but how could DTD possibly affect your chances? I'm in the 2ww at the moment and if I shouldn't be doing it then i won't! I just cant' see how it would be a bad thing??? :confused:
Got BFP, one when we didn't and one when we did. Early m/c with the one we did so haunted DH even till now.
No we didn't - DH didn't want to risk it even though I was on Pregnyl so we could've - and we got a BFP. Must be the first time ever that DH has knocked back a quickie LOL
I selected - No I didn't because I didn't want to risk it
Not a stupid question at all - just something that comes up a lot during peoples AC TWW! i have read many thread where others are asking if people do or dont! some people may feel that with the uterus contracting may cause the embie not to implant or vice verse ? Others feel that it may disturb things i guess? dont know thats why the question is being asked - but as you can see there are many who do and many that dont:
Im just interested to see out of all the people that chose no cause they didnt want to risk it got a BFP or a BFN? and also the people who answered yes and they didnt think it would make any difference.
for me it answers the debate whether it would help or not? I have read that some womens clinics say not to DTD and other clinics say it will help? Im so confused so i think a poll is the only way to see the results
oops I'm sorry didn't read where the thread was posted and voted yes and got BFp - can you take my vote away? Maybe something in the title for others who stumble blindly into polls:redface:
Fair enough, Saram. Changing the title now.
