Best time to ejaculate before ER?

Have people been given clear instructions from their clinic? ER will be Weds, Thurs or Fri - next scan on Monday. DH has low count and motility. Last time the clinic told him to ejaculate Monday for ER on the Weds but I think it was too close and we only had one egg fertilise which may be related... My memory is hazy but I think their advice was due to him not having ejaculated for a few days at that point so it was the best thing in the circs but not ideal. So would like to be organised this time.

The window is 2-5 days - should he do his thing Sunday eve then if ER isn't on Weds, ejaculate again Monday? Wondering if 3 days is best generally or if advice is different for problem sperm?

Thanks for any wisdom!

We we're told 2-3 days, I think 3 is optimum. Best of luck!

We always do 3, good luck

Thanks both - will do that then. Feeling very bloated today so hoping I've had a spurt as growth was slow initially. Shall see what Monday brings!

Good luck to both of you two if you are currently / soon to be back on the ivf wagon.

Thankyou! I actually just got my first bfp this month after 4 ivfs and 7 long years, pop back and let us know how you get on
