Yes this is true. Most Dr's like for you bd every other day. Good luck and God bless.

I agree with Mel...every other day is where you should be...several times a day, is not providing a chance for good swimmers.

1-5 times a day? You go girl. Although I have to agree that I've heard every other day. Not to mention, that many times can really wear you out when it's unsuccessful time after time. Good luck!

yeah it sucks but it's true,, every other day is fine

Wow! 1-5 times a day, I don't get that in a month, but that's another conversation. Everyday, once a day, leading up to ov is fine. Only if the male's sperm count is low would u need to hold off to every other day.

Thanks so much guys! You've all been very helpful. I know 1-5 times a day seems strange to most people, but my DH and I both have very high sex drives. We aren't BD'ing any more than we normally would even though we are hoping for BFP. For now it's irrelevant anyways because I've been diagnosed with annovulation. So all this BD'ing isn't increasing our chancing of TTC! LOL....My DH will be devistated after we see the doc for my initial work-up and he tells us to minimize BD to every other day...LOL. I think I'll wait and let the doc give him the bad news! What do you think?

Sorry what is BD? I can usually figure them all out. But not BD

Bd is bed down

Yes it is true. If possible you should obstain for 3 day pre-ovulation. Then once u detect a +opk you should do it everyday ONCE a day for 3 days in a row (day 1 of +opk and 2 days after). Then you can continue as normal after that.
If obstaining for 3 days is out of the question atleast try one day off pre-ovulation, but 1-5 a day...his boys don't have enough time to produce enough sperm to get prego with that much ejaculation.
If there are no other factors I'm sure it's possible it can happen the way ur goin, but 14 months and nothing may be ur sign to try something different.
GOOD LUCK!

1-5 times a day!! Do you two have a wheel chair handy and how the heck do you find time?? Do you both have a job?? LOL DH and I try for a couple a week but his 24 hour duties makes it hard!! I would slow down before you burn up girl!! Bed Down is a military term and I have never heard it used here!!

Every other day is suppose to be what you do so that sperm can mature enough to make a baby .

Yeah I think you guys are probably right. I'll try to hold off till atleast every other day

i've just finished reading this study, on the bbc saying there is no problem! for what it's worth: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7045550.stm

Before you ovulate you might want to have a few days like 2-5 just to save up his sperm. Then once you are ovulating, BD every day and /or every other day.

as far as putting in my 2 cents worth, my doc said that every day before ovulation is fine unless the sperm count is low. More than daily, and the testicles don't have time to develop healthy swimmers.
Less than that, and you may miss your window.
My doc said daily through ovulation, then at every other day after that .....
