Before after during or both

[Applecider]

Slightly confused Do u think it's best to do it when I get a pos OPK the day after or day after that? Or do it on all days?? I read so many things I'm confusing myself! Ha!!

Wat days do u lot do it on and do u do it every other day?? Xx

hi applecider!
According to my gynaecologist it is after you get a positive opk! Since hubby has a low amont of sperm cells in his sperm, we're going to try to abstain from bd 5 days before I think I will ovulate, and than bd after I get my positive opk. New approach, new possibilities

Lots of luck hun!

When u get a pos opk it usually means you are due to ovulation. O e theory suggests you should do it the day of your positive opk and then also on the next 2 days. I did the day before and day after positive opk with this one xx

Ffs!! Due to ovulate the next day - stupid phone!! Lol

we've been trying during the 5 day ovulation window and got diddly scwat, so after AF this month we're just gonna badonik every night lol

As t'others have said I think it depends on sperm count. I think if counts are fine you should try positive opk day, day after (which is most likely ovulation day) and day after that. If you have the energy that is! This is the approach we are taking this cycle, obviously don't know if it will have been successful for a while though!

That makes most sense! If u think about it there's not a big window of time?? Thanks for all ur help girlies. So hard not to be able to talk to my friends about this but there we go!! Xx

When I got my positive opk we dtd that night and then again the next day in the afternoon and then again the following night.

I prefer to do it at bed time so I can roll over and go to sleep leaving his swimmers lots of time to get where they need to be before I have to get up.

This cycle I guess we will do it the morning after I get my positive opk because it's said that men has the highest level of testosteron during the morning. I've been shoping vitamins and minerals for a lot of money today - so now we're gonna boost his swimmers

Good thinking Vicky!!

Esp - All I do is force those wellman down my OH! He runs away after dinner!! ha. gives them a good boost! Im taking mine aswel!! Good luck to all of u! I hope June is a lucky Month! When are u testing? xx

I'm going with every other day throughout the cycle but we know that my hubby does have a sperm count issue so I'm not sure if this is too much. I was interested to read what your doing esperanza, I might try that next cycle but I don't think my OH would like the idea of abstaining for 5 days.

mustard: my oh and I are not super enthusiastic about the idea of abstaining from bd either, but we figured out we just have to give it a shot. He is also taking multivitamins, extra c-vitamins with zink, folic acid and pycnogenol (pine bark extract).

Applecider: I think I will be testing the 3rd of July - I haven't seen a testing thread for July yet, I would love to host one, but will go on holiday to Spain in July, so I would just be an awful hostess never updating the thread. When are you testing?

Oh what does the pine bark extract do? I've got OH on wellman vits he's stopped drinking having baths or going in sauna or hottub or cycling (the only thing he's happy about is the frequent sex, if I took that away from him too he will be an unhappy man), oh well we'll see how this month goes.
