did you BD everyday during your fertile time or did you BD every other day???
what do you think worked better if you tried both?

We did two days on, one day off. Both times I got pregnant on the first try.

We did every other day, because DH is older he was worried about "using up" his boys before they were needed or something... It worked fine, we got pregnant the second time!

We did every day and I was able to get pregnant 3 times using that method!

every other day. it took 5 months, and the months with BFN were a combo of 2 days on, 1 off, or every other. the month with the bfp i was really strict about every other day

We did every day last time (then miscarried) and then tried every day again and it worked a second time for us.

every other day and we alternated evenings and mornings so it was more like every 36 hours, not 48.

We BD'd every day. DH was traveling Mon-Thurs so we BD Fri-Sun. HAHA. We weren't trying, but we weren't preventing either.
Just happened that I O'd on one of those days.

When we got pregnant, it was literally the one time we BD that month. Hubby's work schedule was totally crazy that month and we had just one time that we were together that whole month. I wasn't charting, so it just happened to be right.

two cycles we did every other day; the bfp cycle we bd for 12 days straight!! (used the CBEFMonitor for the first time)
in theory it might look like every day worked; but for us -- i think it's because i was wrong about my O day and stopped BD too early the first two cycles.

the first two months we did every day..the third month we did the day I was *supposed* to O..then I took an OPK 2 days after supposed O and it was positive! so the 3-day old guys kept around and now I'm almost 28 weeks with a little girl

We just did it every other day for both of my pregnancies. I got pregnant during the second cycle for both.

Very specific... we were trying the "Shettles method" (still not sure if it worked) but we tried to time to 2-4 days before ovulation and then we cut it out until after. Anyway, got pregnant on the first cycle.

The cycle we got our BFP we only BD'd once and it was very early on in our fertile window. The two cycles before we were either every day or every other day.

@sloaneandpuffy: we tried the shettles method too! however I was so nervous I kind of tossed the idea and thought we DTD on the day I ovulated. but I ovulated 2 days late..and got a girl!

@sorrycharlie: So I guess it worked for you in a weird way LOL. We are Team Green but I think we might have a girl? Anyway, with Shettles I think you have to just pretty much be ready for whatever you get!

We did every day for five days and got pregnant on the second cycle. We were NTNP for three months prior and had sex once per fertile window - that didn't work.

We did every other day, ended up catching when we BD'ed two days before O, then one day after (so I guess that was every three days -- I think when my temp spiked I figured it had happened and I was tired that day or something!)

I got pregnant twice with something close to every other day around fertile time - nothing scheduled, it just worked out that way. The one time that I knew I was ovulating and we tried every day it didn't work.

Every day because we were on vacation, otherwise it would have been every other day. It happened on the first time for us.

BD on day 12 and 13 for Wagon Jr. (pregnant on first try), then on day 10 for Lil Miss Wagon (again, first shot). Shettles method, and it worked!
