Flashing smiley

[Kate3150]

How often should I DTD when it’s flashing?
Have had 3 days of circle, tonight got my first flashing smile.
TIA X

The flashing smile is high fertility and peak is a solid smile so I would dtd everyday from now

At least every other day and then every day when you get peak (or every day during flashing if you can manage it)

My DH saw a urologist and they said that sperm are optimum three days post ejaculation so men should wait three days before the flashing smiley (I know it’s not always possible to predict). Then every other day during the high fertility time so that there are several attempts but sperm has had a couple of days to build up. Every three days is best in terms of sperm but because ovulation is a short window then every two days is the best compromise.

I have also heard (and will try this this month) that it’s best for you to orgasm after he has ejaculated inside you. Then the cervix gets the semen up better. Good luck!

Thanks everyone.
Going to DTD tomorow and every other day until we get peak then do it for a couple of consecutive days!
This is month 7 TTC but first time using these ovulation sticks so feel a bit nervous and if they’re actually going to help 🥴

I’ve been using ovulation testing kits for 14 months with no success. They don’t in themselves improve your chances but at least you know you are dtd at the right time if you use them. It maximises your chance as long as there are no other factors at play. Update us! I hope you’re successful.

@Feliciacat thank you 💜
Hope you get your positive soon and you’re doing okay, this process is so hard X

Still flashing today!
Wil test again tomorrow x

How exciting! A BFP would be an awesome Xmas present!

@Feliciacat Yes, I’m trying to relax about it all but it’s getting harder to do that as time goes on x

I got my peak smile last night dtd and again this morning so 🤞 so you think I have the best chance first peak I’ve dtd on
