What are the most important days to BD

So say I O'd on a Monday what days would I have HAD to BD in order to have a fighting or any chance this month. I think we totally missed our window but just looking to see if there is any glimmer of hope. Thanks

Re: What are the most important days to BD

well, we start 4 days before O and go til at least 2 days after. Technically I think any time between that window would give you a fighting chance, but I *think* the best is the day before O so that the sperm are still alive and kicking for O.

Re: What are the most important days to BD

in my opinion - 3 days before o, 1 day before o, O day and the day after.

OR - as long as you have EWCM.....i tend to BD based on my CM - if i have EWCM - we're bd'ing...

Re: What are the most important days to BD

Thanks girls. I really think we missed the window this month as I was expecting to O either yesterday or today but I have had no CM for about 3 days now and have had negative O on the CBDOPK.

So we did BD Sunday and Monday and I had a slight amount of EWCM on monday but didnt BD again until thursday. Give it to me straight do you think I missed it?

I am driving myself NUTS over here - I really wanted to go it for it this month.

Thanks Jess

Here is the thing I used the pee on the stick tests last Sunday and Monday - I got a second line both days - but none of the lines were as dark as the control line IMO. Sunday's line was fainter than mondays line then I tried to test on tuesday and got no second line.

I had also tried the CB digitial OPK tests last weekend but what do you know I got a faulty pack - just my luck! but I picked up a new pack and I "think" I tested with that on monday and got an O on that day too and have had an O on the digital CB all week.

So you can see how confused I am. I was expecting to O this weekend so really didnt trust the cheap kits but with the fact that I did get some slight EWCM last monday and have been basically dry since I think I missed my chance.

The only other thing is that I have had twinges of pain in mostly my right but sometimes my left side and my abdomen since late thursday, yesterday and still today.

Sorry SOOOOOOOOOOOO long winded but I really dont know what is going on.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far

Re: What are the most important days to BD

Anytime in this range:

3 days before O
2 days before O
1 day before O
day of O
day after O

You can get pregnant by BDing on any of those days - although the more you BD, the greater your chances!

Re: What are the most important days to BD

Thanks .....I guess I will have to wait and see........................i am going to OPK test one more time this weekend - tomorrow then give up for this cycle - that will be CD21 so I will just assume I have O'd already if no smiley face arrives.

Thanks
