When is the best time??

[diggy]

OK- this is going to sound like a stupid question... but just want to see what you ladies out there think??
When is the best time to have sex when you find out that you are going to ovulate within the next 36-48 hours?? And how many times a day??
I got a shot this morning, Tuesday, and I should be ready to ovulate soon.  One nurse told me to wait until Thursday, but I think that is too late.  Anyone have ideas?

in all the research i've done, and that was a lot in 19months worth of ttc, you should be bding now through fridayish and that once a day is probably sufficient. if you have (as my re's assistant put it) sperm on board when the egg is released then you increase your chances of getting pg.
so i say get going. :)

Sperms take from 36-48hr to mature in man's body. So go at it every 1.5-2 days. The sperms need to be waiting in the woman's fallopian tube when the egg is release for the pg to take place.

I wouldn't do it more then once a day....the sperm will live inside you I think for 48 hours or something like that! Good Luck!!!!Let's see what I have read for a boy you want to have sex closer to your ovulation date and for a girl you can start a little before because they live longer!!!!!

Wait until THurs to BD???

HHmm....not sure on this one though I read that while trying to oncieve, you should BD every other day. That gives your DH's boys time to create good healthy sperm before your next encounter.

Either way, teh nurse said wait until Thurs so you at least know you have a good chance between now and then of concieving. So I say "HAVE AT IT!!" you have a better chance of concieving when relaxed, so if the mood strikes and you want it before then, go for it!

Thanks everyone!  
Y'all are thinking the same thing I am... better get busy.  Better to have the little swimmers there and ready- than too late to the party!

This might sound like a dumb queton, but I had never timed my af before.  I just recentley started to since me and DH are ttc.  Our two boys were not planned.  I came off my depio in April and am not sure if I am ovulating yet or not.  My cycle seems to come every 24-28 days.  How will I know when I am ovulating?  After speaking with my DR she said it could take me upto 7 months to start to ovulate again.
