Low volume on SA and BD plan

As many of you know, DH had an SA done in June. His count, morphology, and motility were all fantastic and within the normal range - but his volume was low. Sometimes in the past, DH has had trouble "finishing" after BDing for 2+ days in a row, and I wonder if these things are related.

I'm not sure how big of an issue the volume thing is - but I know that after even the 2nd day in a row of BDing, the volume drops drastically. Last month on day 4 in a row of BDing, there was only a penny-sized amount left and on the 5th day, even less.

Here is my question:

We BD'd last night (CD 13) and today I got a peak reading on my CBEFM which means that I will O tomorrow.

When should we BD? I want to maximize our chances in terms of timing AND having a good enough volume so there's enough semen in there.

What do you think we should do?

BD today? BD tomorrow? Both?

Please give me your suggestions on a BD plan for this month

Re: Low volume on SA and BD plan

I would go for the every other day plan this month and see what happens. BD on your estimated O day and also again 2 days after. Also add a little preseed for good measure. GL!

Re: Low volume on SA and BD plan

I would abstain today and go for it tomorrow, take a break on friday and BD again on Saturday. Sounds like th every other day plan would work bst for your DH.

Good Luck!!!!!

Re: Low volume on SA and BD plan

since you bd'd last night - go for it tomorrow morning, when DH gets up (i know it's early, but still) and then Friday NIGHT, as late as possible.

Re: Low volume on SA and BD plan

your biggest chance for getting PG is to BD when you think you are ovulating or the day after.

I don't know a lot about OPKs or CBEFMs but I would BD when you get a reading that you are ovulating in the next 24 hours etc. Also make sure you are using pre-seed or a sperm friendly lubricant. Since you have volume issues, I would look into using the internal lubricant instead of just the extrenal one!

I hope you get your BFP soon!

ETA: I would hold off BDing today to replenish his count adn BD tomorrow and if you can the following day for good measure!

How is your EWCM? When is your peak day? Mine is like 2 days before I actually O and I'm convinced that's the day I got pregnant last time.

I would try to time BD for your peak CM day. Failing that, I'd take a break tonight and go for it tomorrow.

Good luck!

Yesterday I had a CRAZY amount of EWCM. More than I've ever seen.

I usually get the peak on my CBEFM the day before I O, which I've confirmed by my temps the last two months.

So that would mean that the day I had the most EWCM was 2 days before O - which was yesterday and we did BD that day.
