how many times to dtd

[kobytoby]

Hey all, got a positive on my opk this morning and I really want to get two attempts in today because I'll be working all tomorrow and I fear I'll be in the girl zone by the time I get home. I was thinking about dtd at 10pm and around 4.30am. Do you think that's ok? we've been abstaining for 3 days.

I don't know that you'll get much in there the second time with that short of a time between attempts. How quickly do you ovulate after the +opk? I bet you could do an attempt this evening when you get home from work and then again in the morning if you want, that way maybe you could have a 12hr span between? I think a 24hr build up is best, but 12hrs would be something at least.

Personally, I would give at least 12-24 hrs between each attempt. How many days of + OPK's do you usually have?

[kobytoby]

I normally get 2-3 days of positive opk but from charting my bbt, I know I ovulate the day after my 1 first opk. The thing is that by the time dh gets back home and we put the kids to bed, it's probably going to be 10pm. so do i just forget the second attempt and just do one attempt? I work till 11pm tomorrow and so any attempt after work will be way past 11pm, i dont know if i should risk it.

It wouldn't hurt to try I don't think would still be sperm in there

someone in another forum just told me that dtd 2x that close will sway girl. is that true? dont want to do anything that will ruin my blue sway.

Dtd multiple times too close together sways girl because you are dramatically reducing his sperm count. Timing does not sway either way so I would not worry about when you dtd, only worry about the frequency that you dtd. It would be best to dtd once tonight and then wait at least 24 hours and dtd again if you want to get in multiple attempts.

thanks

I'd wait 24 hrs but that is just me

[kobytoby]

Thanks all. I've decided to dtd this night and tomorrow night. Hopefully it wont be too late and it will be 24 hrs by then.
