Soooo, when I got pregnant with my ex last September (2012) and miscarried Nov 2rd (well, that was when I found out h/b had stopped ) we had sex every day 4 days in a row, skipped a day then again, this was right before ovulation and the skipped day was after, I am pretty sure - was using cheap dollar tree tests back then.
Now, Mike and I's first 2 cycles, we BDed in December: CD 5,6,7,8,11,12,14,15 and 16, with a positive OPK on CD 14 - January CD 8, 9, 10 & 11 (had an early positive OPK)
Since then, I have talked with the nurse practitioner at my OB's office, and she is swearing by sex every other day from CD 8 to 18 - I'm not sure if 18 is necessary if taking OPKs but..lol - and I get hesitant at every other day only because I feel like I am missing a day, even though I know sperm live up to 5, but more likely 48..and it is better for the break to ensure more sperm, etc...
Long story long - who has successfully gotten pregnant doing every other day - and how are most of you ladies trying? Daily, Every other, etc?
I'm familiar with the sperm meets the egg plan...I think...every other day until positive OPK, then every day, right?
What do you all think? I want to give this cycle it's best shot! On CD4 now
