Well I am going for a OHW I think... but it is all personal reference. Some ladies go once and others go 1-2-3 times !!

I don't think if I'd done what we did a few days before O I would have got pregnant :D
Remember tho, for frequent release to work people have to do it every day once at least and sometimes more for 7-10 days. Doing it 2 days in a row just isn't going to reduce the numbers, esp since you are doing so many other things to sway and raise sperm count and survival (more EWCM).Quote:

So even if (and that is a huge if) his numbers were slightly reduced by DTD two days in a row, all the other things you are doing to increase CM and raise pH is going to maximize survival rates so much that it will overcome that slight decline (if it even happens, which it probably won't) Plus, the semen from the first batch will increase pH and also help more of the sperm of the second batch survive.Quote:

God knows it's next to impossible to get pg from O+12 when people are TRYING to, let alone by accident. Most eggs are either dead or fertilized that long after ovulation.
The girl sperm don't push back the guy sperm or vice versa. Sperm have no way of knowing how many times you DTD in a row. They're just in there trying to find the egg, that's their entire reason for being.Quote:

The reason why the temp dips is because your body releases a little burst of a very potent form of estrogen to trigger the surge when it has enough estrogen to get the job done.
I understand why you're worried and I wish I knew the magic words to put your mind at ease. Just know that the best studies show there is nothing to timing and heaven knows we all have enough Shettles opposites between us to totally debunk the idea!!
I know this is an older thread but I am just wondering what you ended up doing in the end.
thx everyone! i ended up doing it on cd17 during the day (1pm) when the kids napped. i think it was perfect as far as timing. bc i was just starting to have O pains on and off about an hr before we did it. then after we did it, the o pains lasted till about 8pm (they usually last about 7-8 hrs). so im assuming i O'd sometime after 8pm. i guess i would have been ok to DTD that night but overall im glad i didnt risk it. who knows exactly WHEN you ovulate (esply if you have O pains preceding this event).??
the only thing im worrie dabout NOW is that i didnt lay down long enough (sinc eit was during the day). i laid down for 20 min and wasnt oozing semen when he pulled out (sorry tmi). so i think he got in deep enough. but when i went to the bathroom after the 20 min, of course some semen leaked. hopefully the wigglies that counted got up in there during the 20 min.
if not im fine with next month attempt too.
overall im happy with the timing. geez i did worry a lot didnt i? i probably will next month too if it doesnt happen thsi time! ;-) thanks for being there guys!
... and relax! GL :D
This is good to know because this time we had to tdt last night and tonight again!Quote:
