I am just preparing, you know? I know they said to abstain like we did for IUI so like 3-4 days before retrieval, but was curious what some of the successful people did as far as abstaining?
I was told as soon as start stiming drugs if you want to "boom Boom" in your words! - must use condom - as stimming drugs can affect development if by a miracle you were to fall pregnant - kind of wierd after all those years TTC - then been told you must use condoms!! Doc said definite no from ER to testing day to me .
Others might be difrernt - said no 'playing' for DH for 48 hours before ET as spermies need to be at optimum.

Hey Stephjim - YAY, we're cycle buddies!! To answer your question, you count your ER day as your "O" day. My Dr still counts from date of last AF, though. So by then, you're technically 2 weeks or so.
