That is something that has always had me curious. Why BD every other day and not every day? Does it have to do with Sperm Count? DH2B was asking as well... I told him that no we can BD every day if that's what he wants... like I am going to tell him no.

Anyways a little insight would be nice.

Thanks,

Just to increase chances of sperm meeting egg by making sure you don't miss Ov.

This way you have all your bases covered. Sperm can live for 5 days under the right conditions, but they usually only live one to two days.
So if you BD every other day you increase your odds

It is also to give the sperm time to replenish. But as long as you don't have a male factor than I don't see a problem in BDing every day if that is what you want to do.

Wow, we're going to try to BD every other day and see if it will help.

I just asked my RE about this as well. She said that every other day should be more than sufficient and that it does help to give the sperm a chance to replenish. But, she also said, if you are in the mood and you decide to do two days in a row it shouldn't be an issue (provided that there is no male infertility factor). Hope that helps!

Mainly for sperm/male infertility factor.. But the PP are right. Sperm can live inside a womans body for up to 5 days.. The egg is viable for 24 hours after it's released so you really want some strong potent sperm waiting for that egg. Bd every day makes the sperm weaker.. but again.. if you're in teh mood to do it every day and there is no male factor.. i say enjoy! :-)

the RE explained it to me as the sperm take 24 to 48 hours to mature. Anything before that they might be too slow and wont servive.

I've heard every day is okay if you don't have sperm count problems. Otherwise every other day.

I think either way is okay. We just go with the flow and sometimes we'll do two days in a row if I'm pretty sure that I'm ovulating.
