@Luvmyluvbug Can You tell me how long was abstinence For ur ds

I just wanted to let you know that this is a pretty old thread and luvmyluvbug may not see it.

For TTC blue, people usually DTD every 2-4 days, so anywhere from 1-3 days of abstain between releases.

Sorry ive probably missed if but if hubby is under 35 and we choose to abstain how long should it be for - we couldnt possibly do from af as i have such such long cycles. If i went on my shortest ever cycle of 32 days when would you abstain from ? Thanks

7-10 days prior to attempt. No more than 14 days tops. (this is for PINK)

I'm reading this thread and probably you have answered my questions in another thread. I asked what's best to do if FR or abstinence. I'm 35 and DH 31. My DH did a sperm count recently and it was 120 (the highest is 150), Sperm morphology was 95% and motility is 85% (this was the result with a 3 day abstinance). So his sperm is quite ok I think. We were considering more Abstain rather than FR but reading this thread I think it's better FR for us cause I'm 35 and as you're saying my egg won't be able to weed bad sperm if there is any. What do you think please?

So I think I'm planning to do FR from about 8days before attempt with a cut off of 3days, so bd on 0-3, then make him release on 0-2morning and bd on 0-2 evening. So that would be two attempts with a 3 and 2 days cutoff. Hopefully I will be able to pinpoint ovulation as last time I thought it was on CD14 but it happened on CD 16 and we had a four day cut off from CD14 which in the end it resulted a 6day cutoff (cause ovulation was late). No wonder I did not get pregnant! And unfortunately I'm never having EWCM anymore so it's not easy to pinpoint ovulation throught CM. Actually I'm practically not having any CM at all! Just a little tacky/sticky CM on my finger when I check cervix. And with the digital OPKs, I only get a smily mostly on the day of ovulation cause the day after the smiley, I get my temp up, that's why I know. It only happened once that I got the smiley a day before ovulation (as indicated by FF chart). So I really have to be careful when O is, as if I wait for the smiley to BD, I would probably be in boy zone cause will be probably ovulating same day as Positive digital OPK! Wish me luck girls!! Please!!!!!
