TTC- frequency of DTD

Sun, 10-12-2008 - 2:17pm

Hi. My name is Alyssa. I am new to this board. I am TTC, but my window is small. This month only. I am a new teacher and can have a baby in early July, or else I will have to wait a year. I cannot afford to go out on maternity leave at this time.

So, I have never done anything with charting and I tried an ovulation kit once before, but it didn't work. It never showed me ovulating the month I got pg with FB.... so this time around, I figured we would just DTD every day and that way we can't miss it.

But now we are only 5 days into this adventure and I feel like DH's supply may be running low. People have told me to go every other day.... but what if I miss it? I am so scared to skip a day, but I want to give him a chance to replenish.

If I have a normal cycle, I will ovulate this Friday. But i felt like last month I O'd early... I had no proof, I just felt like it. However, this month, AF was a day late. So, I just don't want to miss it. Will I use up all the good stuff before O-day if we keep going every day?

Thanks for you help!

Yes you can certainly DTD every other day or even every 3 day and then throw in an extra BD when O time is near...Sperm live for about 72 hours outside the bodys o eyou should be good that way!! GL and Baby dust to you!
