I'm about to try AGAIN....on CD10....what do you think I can do to maximize my chances at a baby here. Would love to sway blue, but think I've got to not worry about that anymore. As most everyone knows now, my DH has a devastatingly low count from his SA, but oddly he's gotten me pregnant (m/c's, but still) twice this year already. We dtd every day then. Should I try every day again or every other day, or dtd tonight and then wait till ov day and try? Anyone have any advice?
With IVF, they have our DH abstain 3-4 days for "best results".
Did you see this one Lola?

I would maybe consider trying for around a 3 day abstinence prior to O for optimum starting numbers but then DTD at least a couple of times at or just before O to pool the numbers at the crucial time.
Lola- Please know that you or anyone else may post a question for Dr Potter if you want. It's not just for HT!
I know you are probably familiar with Deanna's plan, but here it is just in case http://www.pregnancyloss.info/sperm_meets_egg_plan.htm
My only concern is that Deanna's plan sways pink :worry: but maybe the diet can counteract that? I would like to hear others opinion/ experiences? on that.
I think general advices for low sperm count is to BD every other day but I'm not sure when is the best time to start :think: You know, wait for +OPK or start a bit before?
I forgot who wrote ( and where - I have such a precise memory :rofl: ) but BDing every 36 hours might be a better option then 48 in order not to miss the eggie.
And most important - if you can believe it, you can achieve it! :luck:
What did you decide Lola?
Hey everyone! Thanks for posting and giving me your advice. We dtd on CD7, CD10, and will on CD13 (when I probably will ovulate) so that will be a 3 day abstinence in between. We'll see how it works! ZB, thanks for the encouraging words...I am clinging to the hope that it may happen, so trying to believe!
Really hope it works for you. I know how frustrating it can be ttc for so long. We took about 15 months ttc dc2. It is hard work but it WILL work. Good luck :heart:
Zivic, I do remember reading that too that bd every 36 hours more effective than 48.
Good luck!! You have all of us rooting for you, Lola!!
Absolutely, we're all cheering you on! It's happened before for you guys and more than once so you really should believe!
Will you keep doing it every day if you don't O on cd13 or are you fairly reliable?
