BD pattern for low low count? Daily, every other day, longer abstinence?

[LolaInLove]

THANKS LADIES! So, I got a super + opk this morning (CD12), so I think we are on for an O tomorrow. It will have been 48 hours tonight, and I actually think we might go for it tonight and then again tomorrow night....I am just too worried that I will ovulate tomorrow morning and potentially miss the egg if we do it at 11pm tomorrow night (which is the first time we'll be able to!).

DO IT TONIGHT LOLA!!!! ...and tomorrow too.

Lola, I just found this site. Read the part about the graph at the bottom:

"Sperm counts vary over time– Sperm counts and motility can vary a great deal from one week to the next. The chart at right shows sperm counts for one man taken every two weeks over two years. As you can see his sperm counts varied widely.

The dashed line represents twenty (20) million sperm per milliliter. This is often cited as the cutoff level for normal fertility. If he had only one or two semen analysis at any of several low points he would have believed that he was infertile. In fact, on average, his sperm counts are quite good."

This could be what happened to your DH!

Good find Hobber!

FWIW I think you're doing right Lola - and didn't you say your other conceptions with DH were after DTD daily?

Hobber, that is a great find!!!

I'm about to try AGAIN....on CD10....what do you think I can do to maximize my chances at a baby here. Would love to sway blue, but think I've got to not worry about that anymore. As most everyone knows now, my DH has a devastatingly low count from his SA, but oddly he's gotten me pregnant (m/c's, but still) twice this year already. We dtd every day then. Should I try every day again or every other day, or dtd tonight and then wait till ov day and try? Anyone have any advice?

I know I'm too late to answer this but I would DTD every two days so you could get 3 attempts in a fertile window while still keeping count in a decent zone. But I also think that what you did end up doing is also great and I am keeping you guys in my hopes and that this is your month. I honestly think it's a very good sign that you've gotten pg before, even though those didn't work out.

PS - I totally agree with Hobber - SA are just a moment frozen in time and not a life sentence!

I've always heard every day or abstain for over 7 for girl, every 2-6 days for boy, so I think you did it right!

Hobber, thanks for that link! That actually gave me a glimmer of hope. Many people are telling me it must be a fluke since we got pg before, because everything I read about <2m count shows them having to do IVF/ICSI. Well, I'm 5dpo now, don't expect anything, but I feel like the O-3, O-1, O pattern worked in the past so we did that again. I will try straight every other day next month, though.

Thanks everyone for you 2 cents!
