If you're not temping/OPKing....

[takingtheplunge]

what's the best thing to do, just shag every other day? Or if you don't pinpoint OV should you shag everyday or does that tire DH out too much deplete sperm?

I can't be fagged to take my temp everyday and think that, for me personally, that way total obsession lies. So, I sort of watch out for EWCM and vaguely try to shag a lot especially mid cycle.

Am I likely to take much longer to conceive this way?

I tried temping one month found I got completly obsessed about it and found it very overwelming so gave up and feel OPK's would be the same TMI ALERT I have quite a high sex drive so between day 10 and 20 we normally do it everyday occasionally miss the odd day. For the few days either side we normally do every other day. I am definitely no expert though-trying for my first and not pregnant yet!

I take it from day 10 too and try to do the deed every other day until i can't be bothered anymore a week or so has passed.

From what i gather the OPKs aren't that reliable and temping would just be a bit of a hassle and I'd get obsessed.

I think if you can manage it, every day is prob the best way - that way you know you got ov day - i think it keeps the sperm healthier but I'm not an expert! It's certainly more fun!

Hello milanomum

Yes, I've also heard that for iregular cycles OPKs are a waste of time and I can have anything between 28 and 35+ days so that's another excuse not to have to bother reason not to use them.

will try as often as poss for the next week or so then as am now on day15 I think. not sure that will actually work as DH doing long hours at the mo. Typical
