Is the amount of times you DTD in a month now dramatically different then before you started trying?

DH and I both have super low sex drives. We DTD maybe 6 times in the ENTIRE month of 2013.
We have DTD 6 times alone this cycle so far. We will likely BD a couple more times for good measure. It's an entirely new experience for us.

we definitely do it more for TTC, we are both kind of unmotivated on our own (though way back when we dated long distance we would do it a ton on the weekends we saw each other! can hardly remember that haha). I also find being tired at this stage of life, I really only want to do it when my hormones align before ovulation, and really only if it's not too late in the day. this month it happened to work well for TTC so here's hoping!

This is so interesting.
We used periodic abstinence / fertility awareness for birth control before TTC so that limited our numbers, but during infertile times it was usually 2-3 times a week. Once we were TTC it was a little more just because we could use the whole month, but not by a lot. I have it recorded and we DTD 10 times from LMP to BFP. In pregnancy we've been a little less, maybe 1-2 times a week.
No kids yet except the one on the way, though. I'd bet that slows things down.

I had a low sex drive when I was on BC- we'd do it maybe 3 times a month (all DH initiated). Now that I'm off BC, my libido came back and I'd love to do it more often (even if we weren't TTC). DH would still be ok with 2-3 times a month, though.

I voted about once a week; both our drives are not that high. I am getting anxious wondering if we can pull of BD EOD for like 2+ weeks!

@snowjewelz: If my DH and I can do it...I think anyone can. LOL.

We were in a once a week rut before I went off the pill. It absolutely murdered my libido, so being off of it made a huge difference. Certainly didn't hurt TTC either!
