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.

My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

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.
!!! Questions??

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?

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.

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!!

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

Best odds of pink - stick with Sunday, BUT just be aware I think the odds of conceiving would be pretty slim.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

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

I still can't believe she is here and often have to pinch myself. I am one VERY blessed Mumma. She also has a dimple like her big sister.
