TTC Girl "Lite"

I asked AS about the Monday and Friday vs Monday and Thursday and she said for most people she'd be conservative and recommend Monday and Friday, but in your case I would definitely go the Monday and Thursday route.

What Atomic said. I really don't recommend frequent BD, you can totally conceive from just one attempt.

I know it's quite possible, the month we conceived my son we had only one attempt. I would just like to maximize our chances of pregnancy THIS month while at least "sort of" swaying girl. We wanted our kiddos between 18-24 months apart in age and due to the miscarriage we're running out of time for that spacing.

I am considering the every four days though, with an additional attempt at positive opk, if it could potentially make that much of a difference.

You don't think every four days with an additional attempt at pos opk would be decreasing our chances of conceiving too much? I would rather conceive sooner and have another boy than have it take months and months to get pregnant.

No, I do not think it cuts odds of conception at all and may even be BETTER than a bunch of attempts in a row. DTD every day can deplete your husband's sperm count and if you started too soon, he'd basically waste several attempts before your fertile window opens up.

Every 4 days means technically M/F but if you wanted to be in with better odds conception, you could do M/th (I think this is lower odds of pink, though)

[battylady]

Okay, you've convinced me. We're going to shoot for every four (m&f) and an additional attempt at positive opk. Thank you!

If that doesn't work after a couple months, then we can switch to SMEP.
