Which bd is best: day before/day of o?
| Thu, 04-09-2009 - 9:36am |
Hey, ladies!
Quick history- TTC since Dec. 2007, m/c June 2008, Clomid cycle #3 now w/ 50 mg
1st two Clomid cycles- bd'ed every day during the fertile window... BFNs
Question: Since we are sure we only need to bd every other day, what day is best?

I think I have read (like you said) that the day before is better because you want the sperm to be waiting. But I also don't know anything about OPKs. :-) Sperm can live a few days, but the egg only several hours, so I would guess that doing the BD before O is the safer bet.
Is there any harm in doing it both days? If not, that's probably what I would do, since you're not exactly sure.

Either way will work. BDing the day before O
Thanks, ladies!
