That that is plenty and you want the best quality of sperm. Oh, my husband doesn't have a low count or anything that we know of. We had been doing every day for 5 months and it wasn't working. So we're trying every other this month :) Takes some of the timing pressure off too! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-53706 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:37:45 +0000 mrsjyw 53706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: thank you dear!! you tooooo!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-53700 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:33:06 +0000 Adira 53700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-53691 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:19:28 +0000 mrsjyw 53691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cycles average 36 days. I usually O between Day 21-23. Today is Day 20. We BD'ed on CD4, CD 15, CD 17, CD 19... and will be BDing CD 20-24.... HERE'S TO HOPING! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-43859 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 21:09:01 +0000 cyneswith 43859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bru: You should put that on your implantation symptoms post! We also somehow managed every day but O day in a 10 day span. I have symptoms like Bru's - now to wait and not get excited in the interim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-37457 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:15:40 +0000 Bru 37457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our BFP last week -- second month of trying, and this past month, we figured out approximate O-time through charting and BD-ed seven (um, yeah, seven) days in a row. Interestingly, we stopped after seven days, but *think* O-day was actually a day or two after our last sexy time. So...either every day "works," or taking a day or two off is good -- you decide! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-35350 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 13:35:10 +0000 Jenn23 35350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is very little difference in success when comparing every other day and daily, unless the man has a lower sperm count. Then it is definitely best to BD every other day. Plus, doing it daily can be more stressful to a lot of couples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-35291 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 12:29:31 +0000 s2kheartmustang 35291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every other day. The day of "O" we shoot for a morning session regardless if we BD the night before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-35049 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 00:46:56 +0000 Kemma 35049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do two on, one off - that was I figure we get the best of both worlds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-34068 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 15:28:21 +0000 Puddingpop 34068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ERRRDAY!<br /> It's your first one so go in with a bang ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33958 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:35:30 +0000 BabyLove 33958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember reading somewhere that every other day is best. But, I'm kinda of the mind that you should just have a good time and see what happens. At least for the first couple of cycles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33876 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:01:21 +0000 Boogs 33876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say just do it as long as you're having fun! I have hears that sperm is of better quality if you BD every other day, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33699 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 11:24:19 +0000 JessicaMcB 33699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're fans of the old addage, "When in doubt, bang it out.". We're unsure as to when I'm going to O this month (probably today or tomorrow if you trust OPKs) so we've just been going with everday since CD7...It's now CD13 and he's no worse for the wear!</p> <p>If it doesn't work out this cycle we'll probably give every other ady a shot, but we figured this cycle since we're young he might rebound a bit easier sperm count wise than an older man would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33638 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 10:24:20 +0000 Mrsbells 33638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every other day is best from what i've heard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33637 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 10:23:39 +0000 L2sweetpea 33637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did this whole charting thing. We just did every other day throughout the whole month. Took us 3 cycles, and we didn't wait for my body reregulate after coming off bc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33600 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:42:45 +0000 mrsjyw 33600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm supposed to O on Friday. We BD'ed Monday/Tuesday. Told DH we can take a break today (Wed)... his reaction "WHY?!"... we've been having fun ;)... so I think the plan is to every day this cycle and switch it up next month if we don't get a BFP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33515 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:26:22 +0000 policewife10811 33515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is our first cycle trying. I'm suppose to O on the 15th according to my phone app charting (not doing temps though) We started BD on the 11th, and tonight. We will BD again on Thursday. Good Luck everyone !! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33483 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:19:59 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 33483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been doing it every day but this next cycle I think we'll switch it up and go for every other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33463 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:43:32 +0000 hilsy85 33463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did every day this cycle...in a few days, I'll know if it worked! I think next month, if it didn't, we'll still do every day, but maybe not start as early (we started like 5 days before I o'd this month because I didn't want to miss it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33443 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:14:58 +0000 tequiero21 33443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree with majority of the posts - every other day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33439 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:13:02 +0000 winniebee 33439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every other day worked for us - every other day just seemed like too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33313 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:10:05 +0000 HabesBabe 33313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always heard that every other day is best. Good luck! And of course, have fun ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33277 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:39:17 +0000 Rosie Girl 33277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every other day. Sperm can live a while, and you want your DH to build up another supply being you do it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33242 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:07:10 +0000 twodoghouse 33242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: It's my O week too! I think I should O on Friday so here are my BD plans: Sunday (Check), Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and then the dreaded TWW. Good luck this month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33226 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:51:32 +0000 Mrs.VW 33226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do it about everyday the 3 days before and the day of. They say if he has a normal sperm count, every day is fine, if you don't get worn out :) but i 2 days before and day of would be good too! i never worry about the day after since it's highly unlikely you can still get pregnant then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33204 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:20:02 +0000 chopsuey 33204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you wanna conceive I'd do it every day. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33199 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:15:23 +0000 carrieknitscake 33199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every other day for sure. We started off with everyday, but it got exhausting for my husband. It's also good to let his soldiers recharge a bit. My husband looked forward to his off days which made the "on" days more fun. We bookended O day this cycle with BD before and after it. Maybe on it too, I'd have to look at my FF to remember offhand. </p> <p>I saw my eyebrow waxer yesterday. She and her boyfriend BD like crazy. I bet that his soldiers are worn out from that, therefore aren't the best ones to make a baby. I was worn out looking at her calendar with 7 days of non stop BD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33198 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:14:12 +0000 mrsjyw 33198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl @mrsjazz -- sorry for the crazy post title. LOL. stir crazy at work right now.</p> <p>That's the consensus... my O day should be Friday?... Shall we BD today/tom, off thurs, fri/sat, off sun? LOL sorry, TMI </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33195 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:10:37 +0000 mediagirl 33195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go for every other day. When we conceived, we did two days on, one day off, two days on, two days off, one day on. Good luck. :) (and I had no clue what you were saying either). LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-wk-bd-errrday-or-errryotherday#post-33193 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:08:10 +0000 mrsjazz 33193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL. I understood :P</p> <p>I've heard every other day is great. I knew I was going to be ovulating over a weekend, so we got it on every day beginning 2 days before O and 2 days after. </p>
