TTC & Need Advice Quickly
I went to the Dr. yesterday for my D13 follicle scan and instead of the US tech doing it, my Dr insisted she would do it. She said everything looked "beautiful". I had 2 very mature follicles and a 3rd one that was almost mature enough. I got the shot and she said to have intercourse tonight and then again 48 hours later. Is it a bad thing if we have sex everynight for the next 3 days or should I just follow her advice? I used an OPK this morning but I'm not sure if I read it correctly. From what I could tell it looked positive. Both lines were about the same color. The other thing my Dr said was for me to lay in bed for 20 mins after intercourse and no alcohol this weekend. Does anyone have any other advice?
I would listen to your Doc's advice. I think the little swimmers will have a chance to rejuvenate if you follow her schedule. Sounds like you are close to ovulating if both lines are the same color. I think a true positive is when the test line is darker than the control, but I may be wrong.
Are you taking prenatals already? That's the only advice I have.
Sounds like you will be having lots of fireworks of your own this weekend. Have fun!

Does your hubby have sperm count issues??? Every other day is recommended if he has lower counts. And remember sperm can live up to 5 days so any sex you had for the last few days counts too. 2-3 follies sounds like good odds.
Let me give you what happened to us. My hubbies post wash counts were about 4 million so we did IUI's. We got the timing wrong one month and didn't have the full 48 hours between sex and IUI. His counts went below 2 million.
Most men have like 400 million though. The way my RE put it to me is this. I said, but it only takes one right...and she said...it takes one to fertilize an egg, but think of it like peeling and orange. If you have 2 millions swimmers all up there at the same/right time...then they are peeling the orange super slowly and the 'one' will never make it in....but if you have 400 million sperm peeling the egg then one is bound to make it in. I know wierd but it makes sense.
Good luck either way. Shari
