Just a Question . .

I am new to this part of the forum, so let me tell you a little background of me before I start .
I'm Shari (soon-to-be 19) & I have a boyfriend named Kyle (soon-to-be 24) . We have been together over a year & although he is not my daughter's biological father, he might as well be . My daughter is 16 months old . We have decided together that we would like to have a child of OUR own now & we feel it is the right time . We have been through two miscarriages this year alone . I am totally new to this who TTC thing . My first daughter was very unplanned, but not ever 'not wanted' . We live in a 3 bedroom house & we live off our own money . My boyfriend holds not one, but TWO jobs [fire fighter & he works for a restoration company] & I stay at home with my daughter .

Anyways I have a question . . Might be a little too much information . .

I do not exactly know my whole period dates, I had a 3 week period about 2 weeks ago so it's a little off . .
My question is, my boyfriend & I BD every night more than once a night sometimes, does it lessen our chance of getting pregnant ?

what does BD stand for?

BD = Baby Dance [aka sex]

Well i think it decreses the sperm count but im not really sure. But in my expericance the last two pregnacys i had became of only having sex 2 or 3 times in the whole month. Lol sorry prolly not what you wanted to hear! lol

hehe i would think the more you have sex the higher your risk of getting pregnant.

well,i dont think, me and my bf do it everynight too.. and lookey me!!

Oh ok. no it shouldnt lessen your chance, it should increase it. The more sperm in there more often I would think the better your chances would be.

I'm hoping it doesn't lessen my chance .  
I'm new at this whole TTC so I know pretty much nothing .

I think there is somewhere on here that you can put in when your period starts, and it will tell you what days youre more likely to consieve. And also if you pay attention to your discharge when it looks like a raw egg white ( clear and stringy) and lots of it, you are usually ovulating.

while me and my husband were ttc i read alot of books on that im not an expert, but yes that much diminishes the sperm count(me and him were doing it 6 times a day) when i read that we switched to 1-2 times every 2 days. and i started prenatals then. also find out when your ovulating.

I don't really discharge much ever . . unless there is something insanely wrong like a bladder infection or what-not . . other than that I'm normally clear of anything .
I have cut down the sex to about once a night before bed minus a night or two so that I don't miss my ovulation date because like I said I had a period that lasted 3 weeks so I am sort of confused on the whole 'when am I going to ovulate' thing . .
I can't find the thing where I can find out when I'm most likely to ovulate Luv739 . . I just checked but no luck

If your cycles are off...you should try getting an ovulation test first...just to get more familiar with your body so you know for sure when you ovulate and then you'll know when to BD. It is best to BD every other day around ovulation. It may just take a couple months to become familiar with your body and your cycles...but good luck honey

BDing every other night would be better cause yes it does lower the count. But if you find out when you should ovulate then you can just do that during the time you're ovulating.

Try using ovulation tests the week you think you're supposed to ovulate (14 days before your period should start), or if you have irregular periods you can buy tests cheap online and use them everyday. You're looking for a line that is as dark or darker than the control to show a surge and then 24-48 hours after that you should ovulate. Here's the cheapest tests that I have been able to find online: http://www.saveontests.com/

Good luck  

Thank you so much Mrs. Rachael . . As for right now I don't want to have to go buy ovulation test, I'd much rather try & figure it out on my own right now . It would be nice to get pregnant, but it doesn't have to be a for sure this month right now .
According to fertily friend I am going to ovulate tomorrow & have been having my most fertile days the 11th, 12th & 13th . . . which I have all had sex for only once a night, besides tonight but it's no problem to make that happen . .


& on another note, i got pregnant with little Audree in April of 2006, I slept with my than boyfriend the 15th, 16th & 17th .
