I know this is always asked but I'm so confused!

[PinkDaisy]

I have been on a Dtd every 4 days schedule . We Dtd Tuesday night. I just got a smiley (Thursday morning). Never got a smiley in my life. I haven't ovulated in 4 months! Do we Dtd again? I know once at positive opk but was it too early? I just did round 2 of clomid and this is month 8 of ttc! Help please!!!

[PinkDaisy]

If it means anything it was around midnight Tuesday night. So basically I got my smiley 32 hours after Dtd. I'm nervous cause I didn't think it was the real "attempt" mi didn't make hubby take a hot shower. Was it too early. ?

I would BD again, by the time you O there will be no sperm or very few sperm left - good luck.

Oh man. I'm so mad that we dtd now. Will it sway blue doing it again? Ahhh. Any advice will be appreciated

OK after 8 months TTC I'd have had you DTD again because you need to get pg NOW.

To clarify tho there are 2 options:

DTD every 4 days and stick to that no matter what (best odds of pink, lowest odds conception)

DTD every 4 days and then have one additional attempt at pos OPK (lower odds of pink but still good, higher odds conception)

The rules are different for you because you've gone so long not getting pg. You need to be in with a fair shot this month and you need to DTD again.

2 attempts is not that much worse than 1, so you are still in with a good shot at pink either way and if you don't get pg, you have 0% chance of pink.

I was about to chime in and say just do it, but others responded before I did
Good luck!!!!! Hope it's your month

Thank u all so much. I am at a work dinner so we will dtd tonight. Any last minute things we can do to improve our pink shot? Release first? I don't even know how Le I can be at this work function. But we will try!

I don't know if what I did was okay but I had the exact same scenario as you and we dtd again but dh released first and we used his second batch. Good luck!!

While releasing first and then using a second batch for insemination within 1-3 (preferably) up to 6 (less preferable) hours IS a viable sway tactic (called "hurry up FR"), as a general rule I prefer you guys not mix and match them...if you do abstain or daily FR, just stick with them. Don't tack a hurry up FR onto the end of them.
