BD every 3rd or 4th day when doing 'every 4 days' method?

[maidentomother]

If I start BDing today, Sunday, do I next BD again on Wednesday or Thursday? I can do any time of day, should I do night then am (so a little less) or night then night (so more time in betweenl? I have two months trying with well-timed (1-2 days before O) attempts and one month where I BDed 12 hours after O (accidentally), no BFP so far and I REALLY want to conceive this month, otherwise I will probably wait until December to try again. I have my heart set on a Fall baby but really want one in 2014.

I think my donor might have low sperm count...just a guess though. I was pretty surprised that I didn't conceive last month based on how easily I got pregnant in the past with poorly timed one BDs with my late DH.

I would go with Thursday to be sure you have one attempt in fertile window for best sway BUT if you want to up odds a bit, then go with WEd. Sorry I know that's a bit of a non-answer but it's one of those crystal ball questions - I honestly am not sure what is best.

[maidentomother]

Thank you! I will do tonight then Thursday morning I think, so 3.5 days in between. I guess it will depend on what happens between now and then, too.

I'm confused about this too. My first bd day will be a Friday so will 4 days later be Monday or Tuesday?

[maidentomother]

Monday, in terms of how most of us do it E4D.

For better odds of conception, you'd do Monday. Some people might want to try for a wider gap for possibly better odds of pink.

There is NO MAGIC to this pattern, ladies. It's just an effortless way to be in with regular attempts. More, and closer means possibly more blue friendly (slightly) but higher chances of conception, and fewer, further attempts is of course lower chance conception but possilby higher odds of pink.

I have messed up my timing this month (our first attempt). We BD'd on Sunday thinking I would ovulate on Tuesday based on previous cycles. Of course, it's now Wednesday and I still have tons of EWCM! I can't decide whether to have another attempt tonight (3 days later), as I think I will probably ovulate tonight or tomorrow. I do really, really want a girl though so don't want to harm my sway. What are the chances of conceiving from Sunday night?! Should we BD tonight as well?!?! Help!!

[maidentomother]

I would BD today. Yes you can absolutely still conceive from Sunday's BD.

Oh sorry this came thru in the night for me.

Best odds of conception - BD again.
Best odds of pink - stick with Sunday, BUT just be aware I think the odds of conceiving would be pretty slim.

Maiden - I just wanted to wish you good luck for your next attempt Hun. You always give me regular fantastic advice (like Atomic does) and even though I don't know either of you lovely ladies in person, I really regard you as both friends. So from one friend to another, I really hope this is your BFP cycle. Is your donor taking any supps Hun? I've been wondering myself if my DH should be taking menevit or something...Xxoo
