Help!! What should I do????

[DesiG]

Please don't bump your posts unless they've been up for like a week. I answer from oldest to newest and when you bump it, it just goes to the "newest" and it takes me even longer to get to them. I try to reply to all questions within 3-5 days absolute max so wait that long before bumping and you'll get a much faster response from me.

Apps do not tell you when you will ovulate. They guess when you MAY ovulate. So what I would do is BD every 2 days from now on and then when OPK goes positive (or the day before you believe you will ovulate), have 3 attempts in addition to the every 2 day schedule - so keep going with that, and then try to have an attempt the night of the positive, again the next mornign if you can, and again the following night, and then again the next day. Continue with the every 2 days even after you think you Oed.

You do not need to hold off for 4 days between BD. Anywhere between 2-4 days all good. And once the fertile window opens, more sperm is better, so even if it's smaller batches (which it will be having more attempts and all), the sperm will be able to stay alive thanks to the EWCM so you're adding more and more and more sperm to the mix (even if it arrives in slightly smaller batches) I hope that makes sense it's kind of hard to explain.

Ok, sorry about that!

When the fertile window is open, the sperm can stay alive inside of you. So it's not "wasted" like it would be if you had lots of attempts early in the cycle (DH would both be depleted with his sperm count AND those sperm would not survive without the EWCM) Especially O-2 thru early in O Day...all those troops have a good shot at the egg so the more the merrier.

To give an example, let's say he makes 50 mil per batch with 4 day holdoff. That sounds great, right?? But if you guys were having more attempts than that, even if each batch was smaller, it would still add up to be more sperm. So like a shot on o-2, on night of o-1, next morning, again that night...even if each of those batches only averaged 20 million, that's still way more than the 50 mil one shot batch, if that makes any sense.

Ok got it!!

No not at all, I just feel bad when you guys end up waiting longer because of it.
