Hi everyone!

I'm trying to be positive after 2yrs of trying TTC#1
C# flipping all of them...
A:32

So, me and my DH are attempting to change our outlook/plan (plans... pttf!) and swapping our usual night time shenanigans to the morning...

I'd read there's a slightly higher sperm count in the morning than night, after already deciding this, although there's not much in it but it's one thing we're attempting to shake things up!

All our tests are good so far (ha! No evidence yet though, obviously!!!) and before we move on to the tablets later this year, we're trying to get our BFP before the next app, especially seeing how it's my third month after a HSG!

I am trying to be positive, as you know, sometimes you just want to scream and cry and scream again when you see the BFN's BUT I refuse to quit.

So my question is to all you lovelies, are you a morning or night person?
😉

If you've had a BFP before (congrats x) Did you get a BFP from an AM or PM? Can you remember?

Has anyone else tried switching their 'normal' trying 'routine' like this??

We are usually morning people, probably exclusively when TTC #2 as I'm asleep before my head's hit the pillow most nights. #1 took us 5 months and #2 took 2 months.
Good luck! Flowers

Ah that thank you Oysterbabe!! I'm hoping so!
TMI but it occurred to me that at ovulation, mucus is always am to midday, so I'm hoping it'll make a difference xx

I'm hoping this method is right as this time we dtd on a morning instead of a night. Af is due Friday 18th I would have normally cramps and stuff by now and I've had nowt xx

We do mornings quite regularly even before pregnancy/DD 1 and also found this fit in well with having a little one.

Also my DH has a habit of waking me up in the early hours of the morning to do it too, very nice and snuggly and hopefully close enough to the morning to have the same benefits :)

I work 12hr shifts so I'm definitely a night person, that's when im most relaxed but on our days off, morning & night.

If makes absolutely no difference.

Form someone who has had years and years of infertility before successful ivf I understand your grasping at straws. Put your time and effort into more scientific methods such as researching high dose supplement ( some excellent research papers available) or accupunture (proven for some types of infertility etc).

Tried acupuncture... my SIL did it along with other things, but my problem is that at night I'm most stressed. I have a very parent, who we've moved in with because of. Since trying, we've had two accidents (not me luckily) but one was my DH so we were out of action for four months, a string a bad situations, getting married was traumatic, so once getting well in to it has been hard. I don't drink, don't smoke anymore, got back on slimming world, work at a sexist piece of shit job, can't move due to saving for IVF and sick parent, have my own business I do after work... nights are the worse. So mornings are the least stressful time.

I've got to try because my ovulation is short and getting 'down and dirty' on the night isn't working... plus I like what cherries says, snuggly, I remember back in the early days, me and my DH loved the morning! He's well up for it 🤗

Got my BFP from morning DTD but genuinely don't think it matters either way

DoAsDreamersDo · 16/08/2017 09:17

During the fertile week we're usually mid-afternoon/just home from work BD'ing, but other than that we're usually weekend morning people. Currently just started our 4th cycle so will definitely try more morning sex if that's going to help!!
