Oh dear... did I do this wrong?

[TTC5]

I thought the term cut off meant the days you get hubby to abstain is this not right?

My hubby last dtd on cd 9 (in the evening) he abstained for 4 days and we bd'ed on cd 13 and ovulation either happened soon after or up to 24 hours later.

I thought this is what we were meant to do? Best to get hubby to hold off for 2-4 days with day 4 being the better one, and to time intercourse as close to or just before Ovulation??

Or does cut off mean the amount days before ovulation that you DTD?

You are both right I think. It means the same thing doesn't it? You obstain for 4 days before your attempt therefore you have a 4 day cut off. That's how I interpret it. How come you are questioning it TTC5? I think your sway was fantastic, I hope mine is as good as yours!

I think the same like you. DH wait for 4 days the dtd just before O . I would not do this different for sure.Unless you want to dtd twice.
Some ppl dtd more then 1 time so DH abstain for 4 days the dtd like 2-3 days before O then he abstain again and dtd 1 more time on O day.

I was talking to another lady online and she seems to think that I have done it wrong?

[Plum3]

Oh ok, well I would have done the same thing you did. What did she think you should have done?

TTC5 ITA with everyone here ... 4 day cut off means no sex (or release for him) for 4 days prior to BD. I'm wondering what Bec is too ... what did this other person say you did wrong? Because I think your timing was great!

[TTC5]

Thanks guys, apparently a cut off means having sex (baby dancing sex lol) 4 days prior to ovulation and then nothing... well this person reckons if I made him hold off for 4 days I have increased the female sperm? :S

[Kris217]

Yeah i thought cut off meant having sex too but that could be wrong. Like 4 day cut off meant DTD 4 days before O and that's it.....hmm we need to find out for sure!

We do don't we.. wheres atomic when we need her
