BD frequency question - help tonight please!
Looking for opinions for my pink sway!
I know one attempt is an important component, so we are doing bd every four days, with our attempt falling on day 13. I usually O day 16 (with first positive opk day 14).
But I am starting to second guess myself! I have had several early losses and a couple bfn cycles. So I am in the mindset now of what is more important - having a girl, or just getting pregnant faster.
My sway has pretty much gone down the tubes. I am doing saw palmetto, ASA, repHresh, weight loss, and bd every 4 days with one attempt. I know LE diet is really the biggest piece of the puzzle, but in all honesty that ship has sailed and I'm not on it.
So I'm wondering if instead of one attempt on day 13, should I bd on days 12 and 14? Would it hurt my sway much? Or is there anything else I can change to increase my odds of getting pregnant without affecting a pink sway?
Help! Today is day 12, so looking for your thoughts asap.

The thing about DTD on O day, is that often people don't know really what O day is. Even with and US, all that can be confirmed is the presence or lack of follicles, and the presence or lack of a CL. O date is a best guess even if you use opks, chart, and have an US. You can't go by pains because they can happen before, during, or after. Plus, as soon as people start to TTC cycles change and symptoms change making it even harder.
That being said, DTD on O date really cuts the odds of conception. It takes normal healthy sperm up to 12 hours to fully capacitate to be able to fertilize the egg and the egg itself is only viable for up to 12 hours MAX (usually much lower than this). The best odds of conception are from DTD at O-2 and O-1 giving the sperm the best chances of being there waiting for the egg to be released. This, for most people, ends up being at the positive opk. A positive opk detects the LH surge which typically happens anywhere from 12-48 hours before O.
Many of us on here have gotten Shettles opposites. Going by Shettles, I technically should have 3 girls, hahaha!
FX and GL to you!
