I need help attempt is almost here!!

That makes sense, i just don't want to have to go to Sydney for say 2 days then home for 1 then back to Sydney again. Or pay for 3 nights accommodation when i don't really need to. If he's willing to do 3 in a row then i'll take it, i had too much trouble getting 2 off the other guy!!

So you found a new fella to help? How is everything going?

Just wondering about sperm count, if you were to DTD everyday around ovulation is it really going to lower the chances of getting pregnant?
I wanted to do 3 inseminations over a 3 days period, are my chances significally lower if i do this?
I just thought even if the sperm count was cut back to even half it would still leave quite a few million....am i better missing a day in between?

no, you would increase your chances of a pregnancy. If you DTD more around the peak time, there are more swimmers in there that can head for the egg!

Yep, he's so sweet too and seems so easy going. I don't think we'll have any problems with him. He offered to help both Sarah and i but it turns out we will probably ovulated only a day or 2 apart and i think that would be too much for him.
A good friend of ours has offered to help Sarah so if everything works out there she will use him and i will use the new guy he's only 23 so hopefully he's got a good sperm count and good quality!
I was expecting to ovulate around the 5th but i'm 2 days late for AF....maybe that's from the clomid?

My partner ovulates late so even though her period is over we still will ovulate around the same day. Makes it tricky if we have to be in Sydney for me and Newcastle for her! lol

Kris, you are a special case because you need to get pg and have a limited window in which to do so. I think you are much better off doing 3 inseminations (3 in a row is not going to reduce sperm much, if at all, in most guys - my husband's sperm would laugh at 3 times in a row LOL) because if you can't get pg, you have zero chance at a boy.

Most of this advice is for totally optimizing chances for EVERYONE including people whose sperm count may be lower (i.e. men who have fathered many girls already!)
