They "DTD" 2 days before ovulation rather than the day before or day of ovulation?
I was just having a look through FF and couldnt really see any postives that had had sex just a couple of days before ovulation. So is it really vital that you hit it bang on?! I thought that sperm was suppose to last a wee while? ------------- TTC 6 years IVF it is IVF/ICSI round one 10 eggs, 8 mature, 3 fertilised BFN IVF/ICSI #2 = 22 eggs! 20 mature, 15 fertilised, 1 fresh transfer and 2 frosties BFN 2 Frosties still in freezer thank god |

I'd say 2 days before could defnately do it. We DTD (hehehe) at some time unknown before ovulation and fell pregnant. Scan put us back a week so ovulation was sometime between when we did it and a week after (not much action around that time so I know when TDWD (the deed was done).
Its meant to cause girls...dont tell James that though. |

Lol thanks for that!
We always seem to manage only 2 days before ovulation every month! I think we are on track then something happens or ovulation delayed etc! So was feeling all pretty down about the whole thing! ------------- TTC 6 years IVF it is IVF/ICSI round one 10 eggs, 8 mature, 3 fertilised BFN IVF/ICSI #2 = 22 eggs! 20 mature, 15 fertilised, 1 fresh transfer and 2 frosties BFN 2 Frosties still in freezer thank god |

Definitely possible, that's what the Shettles method is all about (closer to ov or after = boys, 2-3 days before ov = girls) but obviously that's not an exact science. Sperm can last anywhere between 48-72 hours I think (some say up to 5 days  ) 'in there' before dying so definitely possible.

we did it every second day starting four days before ovulation and on the day of ovulation. I have seen charts on ovusoft.com of woman getting pregnant 8 days before ovulation. So it is very possible. I would say two days before is within the fertile window. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I have definately gotten pg by having DTD 2 days prior to ov (well according to FF!). That one unfortunately ended in m/c but it's absolutely possible. So chin up!  -------------   http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
