Does it matter what time of day to BD???

Does only being able to BD at like 1:00-2:00am every night matter? Does that hurt your chances? I'm hoping not, because that will be the time we will BD. Now I'm worried.

We would never be able to BD in the morning. Can't happen. Way too busy and there's always a kid in the bed. And the earliest we would ever be able to do it wouldn't be until like 10:00pm anyway with the kids and all. They just don't go to sleep when they're suppose to and don't always stay in bed.

I guess if it doesn't work we can always try about 10pm or earlier if possible.

The time of day doesn't matter as much as what day you are actually BD'ing. DH and I can't ever really get to it in the morning and sometimes we don't get to it until later in the evening if our DD doesn't go right to bed.

That being said, I always make sure to start BD'ing once I see high fertility on my CBEFM which is always a few days before my actual ovulation. Once I get a "peak" reading on my CBEFM I make sure to BD that day, the next day and maybe (if we can stand it ) one more day after that. Really the most important thing is to BD at least 2-4 days before you actually ovulate. Doing that will GREATLY increase your odds of conceiving. If you wait to BD until you actually ovulate you could miss your chances as it takes the spermies a while to make their way to their destination. It's always better to "coat the area" days in advance whether you do it morning, noon, or night!

I agree that the time of day does not matter. The month I got my BFP, we only BD'd at 11pm or later.

I think more important than the time of day, is the time in your cycle when you BD. So long as you are BDing during your fertile days (when you get a + OPK or Peak reading or when you have EWCM), then you have a great chance of conceiving.
