Dtd advice needed asap please
Hi all need some advice urgently we dtd after a 7 day abstaining and what i thought was a 2.5/3 day cut off. Its turned out to be a 4/4.5 day cut off, i think im ovulating now and pretty certain i will get my o dip in the morning as i got a pos opk 2 days ago. Its my first cycle of ttc so im no rush to get pregnant and my main focus is trying my hardest to concieve a baby girl. We dtd this afternoon (10 hours ago) but we used a comdom, my question is would the sperm count be low or high if we did a attempt now? or shall i just have a 4 day cut off and bring it forward next month.
Thanks in advance

Sperm count would be low, but I would definitely BD again ASAP if you wsnt a good shot this cycle.
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

Thank you for replying, i didnt read it intime as when i wrote the post it was 11pm in uk time, we dtd with comdom and then was going to have a attempt this morning thinking my dip and ovulation would be today.... but i took my temp and i have the biggest rise and is well above cover line so i think i did ovulate yesterday but didnt get a dip which is unusal for me. It now works out 3.5 day cut off. Thanks again

You can definitely still conceive from 3.5 days before! Good luck.

Swaying Advice Coach
Oh sorry I was late for this, no advice, just good luck!!
When you're not in a hurry I'd always stick with one attempt. Adding attempts is for people who just can't bear to go on TTC any more or who have some other time pressure.

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...
