Ughhh. I do it everyday during fw. Time will tell. If no success doing it this way for few months might cut it down to eod. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cbe-opks-when-to-bd#post-2118780 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 18:21:23 +0000 Ginabean3 2118780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it every other day with the flashing.....once I got like 8 days of flashing in a row before the solid smiley! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cbe-opks-when-to-bd#post-2118696 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 16:25:12 +0000 Zbug 2118696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: hahaha. Fair point. Well I think there's a good chance of solid smiley tomorrow, so it's just if we take tonight off or not. This is definitely not an entire cycle thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cbe-opks-when-to-bd#post-2118525 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 13:59:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2118525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I could've done it everyday leading up! I mean, if you can, why not? LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cbe-opks-when-to-bd#post-2118513 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 13:49:00 +0000 Zbug 2118513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: @Hoots: thanks!! I have no clue re sperm count, so it looks like we should go every other until solid smiley. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cbe-opks-when-to-bd#post-2118376 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 12:34:57 +0000 Hoots 2118376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @travellingbee: Once we knew Dh's count was fine, RE said she wouldn't put us in the penalty box for overachieving. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cbe-opks-when-to-bd#post-2118182 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 10:11:49 +0000 travellingbee 2118182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on your DH's sperm count. If you don't k ow it Id say every other day until the solid and then every day for 2-3 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cbe-opks-when-to-bd#post-2118174 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 10:07:21 +0000 Zbug 2118174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: thanks! That's what I thought as well, but then I read something that says it's actually better to do it every day when you're close to ovulation. Who knows! (We basically have to have a plan in place with a toddler haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cbe-opks-when-to-bd#post-2118084 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 09:01:23 +0000 blackbird 2118084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was always under the impression that every other day is better b/c you get more high quality sperm than if you do it every day. </p> <p>We usually just waited until i got a smiley or positive OPK, did it that night and then got busy and would forget to do it again (at least for our second kid) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cbe-opks-when-to-bd#post-2118079 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 08:58:28 +0000 Zbug 2118079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on my second day of flashing smiley face. Is it better to BD every day through flashing to solid smiley face, or should you BD every other day while flashing (I've heard some people can get several days of flashing) and make sure you BD on solid smiley? Tia!! </p>
