When trying to conceive is there a positive or negative to DTD daily vs every 2-3 days?
-
We did it every day and it worked, which was 8 days in a row. lol
-
@Bao: Wow - that's a lot of days in a row!
-
The month we got our BFP we did O-5, O-3, O-2, and O+1. One of those times worked! I'm guessing it was O-2
-
i think it's a lot of luck. that said.... olive was conceived the first month we tried.... and it was every day around the time i ovulated (i wasn't keeping track and had no idea of the specific day). charlie was an accidental one shot wonder.
-
Alright then! DH better be ready for a marathon after this cycle LOL
-
Since I have no idea when I actually ovulate we DTD every day between one period and the next. Figure we can't miss it that way lol ! I really should invest in some OKP's...
-
@MrsTiz: everyday for a month? don't you get tired? Your DH is a lucky guy.
We do every other day bc my DH has a lower count.
-
I got pregnant on my fourth clomid cycle, and we had eased up on that one. No every day sex, no laying there with my stupid hips up. Just every/every other day when we felt like it, and then go about our business.
-
It took us a year of trying and the time that worked, it was O-2 and O+1 (which was the least we'd ever done it), so you don't need to DTD every day. The only con, I see is that it can be exhausting to go every day, so if you feel not into it one day - take the night off. It will be fine.
-
They say there is no downside to doing it everyday unless you have reason to believe your hubby has low sperm count. But it can get exhausting. We did two days of sex, one day off, then two more days of sex. We gt pregnant on the first try twice whole using this schedule.
-
I read that if you are concerned about your SO's sperm count or he has been tested for low sperm count, to DTD every other day. We just DTD every day for a few days leading up to OV and then a few days after.
-
Idk but we did it every other day I think, and it worked! I think I heard that was optimal but I don't remember where.
-
@Leialou: Yes & YES. It's exhausting, but he doesn't seem to mind
-
The month we got our BFP, due to DH's travel we BD one morning, skipped the next day, and BD the next morning.
-
ok since I don't know about his count we'll just roll with it. I bought a digital OPK that has enough for 20 days of testing, so fingers crossed. I also bought POAS tests but I won't use those until I'm "late" - thanks for all the advice, ladies
