I could be way off, but I think by having just one attempt you limit number of the fast swimming male sperm that die off quicker and give the female sperm that are slower but live longer a chance to get to the egg. That's my understanding, I've been wrong before so would also like to know.
We ttc in October and my cycle was getting really long and I ran out on opk's. We kept up the bd every three-four days even though I wasn't doing opk's. We ended up catching an egg early November, like cd 34. I had three or four almost positive opk's in the month before we conceived. It was like my body was gearing up to ovulate than stopped. By the time I actually ovulated I was out of tests. We ended up loosing the baby last week, but will try again in the next month or so.
Give it a go! I just wouldn't bd any more often than every three days, four would be better though.Feb. '11

If you BDed on Friday, you shouldn't BD again until Tuesday, or at the earliest Monday night - what time Friday did you BD? From the sounds of it your attempt is perfectly timed, should end up being 1-2, maybe at most 3 days before O. So I'd wait a full 4 days to keep your sway strong. DO NOT BD again this weekend!
It's not about what multiple attempts close together does to sperm, but the fact that multiple attempts = more sperm inside you, and that sways blue for reasons we don't fully undeserved.
There is NO difference in speed, endurance, longevity, hardiness etc between X snd Y sperm - that idea was completely made up by Shettles based on him looking at sperm under a microscope (which does NOT enable visual distinction) and simply guessing that the faster ones were Y and the slower X. Thus why he developed his ridiculous timing theory. But numerous studies have long since disproven him. None of his ideas were actually evidence based, truly shoddy science that unfortunately still lingers as popular myths.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

That looks positive or very close! I'd wait until Monday, maybe compromise and BD in the am?

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
