With the other two, I just aimed to BD at least twice in the middle of the month. I never tracked or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2747504 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 15:20:08 +0000 babypugs 2747504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ScarletBegonia: Ha--the bad news is he expects us to keep it up now! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2747452 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 14:21:06 +0000 Anya 2747452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One day off, two days on, basically every 36 hours. Sounds a little intense but it worked 3 times! Example:<br /> S: PM<br /> M: --<br /> T: AM<br /> W: PM<br /> Th: --<br /> F: AM<br /> S: PM </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2747432 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 14:06:42 +0000 LBee 2747432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did ED for eternity (okay from pretty much after period to 2 days after ovulation) with our son. </p> <p>We did a super weird pattern with our daughter of doing 2 days on 1 day off and things worked out where we happened to fully cover O-3 to O (was coming off a 2 day on streak I think when I got a positive OPK). I'll say we were much better rested with this way and it was coming off a cycle where we did every day for like 15 days straight (I wasn't temping and had confusing OPKs) and we both knew that by day 10 we were struggling. </p> <p>My goal was always to try to capture O-3 to O -- I think the days surrounding those are probably not that important. I think optimum conception times are O-2, O-1, and O? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2747422 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 14:00:42 +0000 littlejoy 2747422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally knew when I was ovulating (after charting for 3 months), and we'd just BD a few times during that window. That was for LO1. It took us 6 months to conceive (including a loss). </p> <p>For LO2, we were NTNP, and apparently being in the mood = peak ovulation. Sometimes I'm still in denial that I got pregnant so quickly after it took several months the first time.</p> <p>I was never able to get a solid OPK with LO1, so I've skipped them since then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2747068 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 21:11:26 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2747068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babypugs: respect :meh: </p> <p>I am on cycle 5 of trying with no luck but have been all over the place - this month was every day of the fertile period +1. fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2747067 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 21:08:48 +0000 Pollywog 2747067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cycles are crazy. Like I gear up to ovulate 2-6 times before my body decides to release the egg. My LO was conceived on CD35. Our approach is to BD when I have EWCM. Typically that is 2 or 3 days in a row </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2747033 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 19:26:48 +0000 DesertDreams88 2747033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do EOD CD 10-20 bc my ovulation is unpredictable and DH needs a break here and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2747017 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 18:40:58 +0000 SweetCaroline 2747017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every other day during fertile period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2747015 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 18:31:47 +0000 babypugs 2747015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tracking stresses me out so we just did every other day or every day all month. That way I knew I wasn't going to miss any fertile time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2747014 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 18:31:32 +0000 erinbaderin 2747014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did every other day between CD 8 and CD 16. Mostly. We were TTC for five years so towards the end it was more like CD 9, 12, 14. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2747012 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 18:27:26 +0000 bhbee 2747012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My goal is to not overdo it but aim for 3 sessions between o-3 and o+1. Unless we're not together we always hit opk+ day. Before that is harder to guess because I don't ovulate the same day each month but I usually try. If we try for every day we get burned out (and results for me have not been better with more bd). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2746984 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 17:28:04 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2746984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last time I used OPKs it turned out I got a positive later on a first response than on a wondfo, so we did pretty much every day through the fertile period and through that positive OPK and I think the next day too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2746895 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 13:39:57 +0000 skinnycow 2746895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aimed to BD every day during the FW and I think we ended up hitting O-3 to O+1 with DD (conceived on first cycle trying).</p> <p>We are going to NTNP starting next cycle and full on try after a trip we're taking in Sept. (if I'm not already pregnant). I think we'll try the every day in FW strategy again since it was successful last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-bd-strategy#post-2746889 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 13:31:55 +0000 Coral 2746889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not NTNP but "full on," get-me-pregnant-now kind of mindset. </p> <p>With my son, we BD the day after a positive OPK and that was it. This time around we've had good timing with no luck. I am trying to decide between EOD CD 10-20 or a less intense SMEP (3 days ED after positive OPK, skip a day, then one more for good measure.)</p> <p>Anyway, what's your strategy? </p>
