I've been trying to figure out the same thing and I don't think there is "right" answer. Some people, like you, happen to bd at the right time and once is all that is needed. Others bd every day around O and still don't get a BFP.

The advice is to bd at least every other day but no more than once a day. If his sperm count is low then every other day gives enough time to build up sperm. I think the best advice is to just bd enough so that you don't miss O entirely, but to try not to overly obsess. Easier said than done, I know!

If your DH has a low sperm count, try to let a full 24 hours go by in btween BD sessions. If not, the 24 hour rule still applies. Every couple is different, but I think BD every other day until the day before O, then every day until the day after O might help. I don't think it matters what time of day it is, just how many hours it has been since the last BD. Also, try to stay as realxed as possible about TTC, it helps! HTH!
