Is there a preferred time of day to DTD for blood sugar levels?

Umm, my hand is up! We often DTD in the morning, like the early hours before it's time to wake up. DH always wakes up 'ready' and I'm far less likely to protest if I'm sleepy and of course far less exhausted than I am at the other end of the day

I liked having our attempt in the morning because I didn't have hours of stressing about the finer details beforehand and the Aci-jel I used had to be put in the night before (so I couldn't be tempted to add too much too close!). DH didn't bother with a bath or shower beforehand but he's always boiling after a night's sleep anyway.

I'm with Zana on this one - morning is a convenient time here too lol

Hmm...that's actually a great idea about the lack of stress beforehand!!

Right alot of couples dtd first thing in the morning and i just may add it to my sway since it would likely be less stressful.

Thanks everyone for your replies, most helpful! I like the idea of morning but not sure about the practicality! Will see how the mood takes me when the time comes................. x

I was thinking about this and I did think of one warning - sometimes I can't sleep if I have to go somewhere first thing in the morning...even if it's just to the dentist's office it keeps me up and I worry and fret. So if you are prone to midnight tossing and turning, then DTD in the evening might actually be better. To each their own!!!

I was thinking this also lol i was wondering if i would be laying in bed not sleeping all night and stressing about the bd...then again lack of sleep lowerss T right? ugh

I wish we could take a blood test before and after a sleepless night! Personally I think that for ~me~ it would raise T and not lower it, because I get so worked up over whatever-it-is that I'm worrying about. The one time I do think losing sleep lowered my T was when I had very little sleep for several weeks and it was from taking care of kids in the night, not from some imminent challenge that I had to take on.
