For my son we dtd for 4 days in a row. I am not positive when I O'd, but I think it was on the 3rd day.
ds1 i dont have a clue lol(I know it was a couple of days after af but I had no clue about ovulation so I dont know when I O, I actually thought you O at the end of your cycle and if egg didnt fertilize then you started bleeding lol), ds2 we bd everyday through O, ds3 was a sway but long story dh screwed it up on our practice month so it was a sway becuase I was doing everything and he was a like a 3 or 4 day cutoff, and ds4 I was breastfeeding(ds3) and my cycles were way off and took the chance not thinking I would O a couple of days later so he was like a 3 to 4 day cutoff too, this time I am just going to bd through O and just not worry with timing
We are having a boy this time and I O'd on August 16th and we dtd on the 12th, 13th, and the night of the 15th. I think I O'd early on the 16th because we were going to dtd again that night but my cm was already way different.
Got my girl by dtd one time three days before O.
With DS 1 we BD 2 times in 24 hours, nothing before (but DH may have been releasing) and nothing afterwards. I had just gotten off AF so very long cutoff with him (even if I Oed early.)
DS 2 we BD every day or two but then DH changed his mind about TTC that month and we thought we still had enough time to stop. So again, long cutoff (not as long as with DS 1 tho) even if I Oed early. My cycles were quite regular at that point so I doubt I Oed early.
DS 3 I was trying for Shettles cutoff and DH wasn't even at home when I ovulated (I knew a lot more about ovulation then and I am 100% sure I did not ovulate early) so 2 or maybe 3 day cutoff for him after BD every day or two.
DS 4, I honestly cannot say because i wasn't ovulating but was testing CM pH every day and never got any EWCM and never had pH over 4.5. We were TTC but not very hard thinking I wasn't ovulating, so every 2-4 days.
I'm so glad to see that boys can be conceived DTD lots of days in a row as we did just that the week I was O'ing :) Once every 24 hrs. We used lots of pre seed too lol
For both of my boys we pretty much BD'ed every other day.
hobbers when are you testing?
for this pgcy, we bd'd 2wice in one day and then once the following night. for my girls it was everyday thru O for like a week. i REALLY think its more diet related..REALLY REALLY think....rather than timing. just on this thread, there is no consensus.
gizmo, I got a BFP on Saturday. I am trying to be excited, but this timing thing is making me think I ruined my sway. :( I know timing shouldn't matter, but no matter how many times I tell myself that, I will am kicking myself for not DTD on the day of the +opk! Every other cycle, I O'ed either 24hr or sometimes 36hr AFTER my first +opk. I was doing opk's every few hours, so I know when it went positive, and somehow I think I O'ed the same day? We DTD the next morning at 5:30am. But my temp had gone up by then and never went back down. It is possible the high temp was from not sleeping, but I will never know. :(Quote:
