I hope you don't mind...TTC How often DTD?

[corgankidd]

We dis it the 2 nights before ov and a couple times earlier that were probably too far away. I was going out of town the day if ov so the night before we really enjoyed ourselves I stead of it being the mechanical ttc sex. I think that's what made the difference.

We only managed it once this cycle... And BAM! X

Great! Getting pregnant is such a random thing (and I mean that in the best way possible) as it affects everyone so differently!

We are trying to go at once a day and fingers crossed we can keep going for the next few days! I will keep you posted for when I get my BFP this month as it WILL happen

I had a previous miscarriage the month before and only dtd once before I expected my period to arrive but low and behold I caught straight away xx

 

[fifi-folle]

when ttc ds (for 18 months) we dtd every second day from end of af to start of next one, with daily bd'ing for 5 days around ov. I did bbt, opks and checking cm.
This time we were ntnp and dtd on cd11 and 18, thought we'd be ok!!! But obviously ov'd earlier or later, it was only my 3rd cycle since af returned (due to bf'ing, still bf'ing though!)

Great attitude, I wish you all the baby dust in the world! I'd heard every other day was best but hubby and I thought "lets just go for it" and dtd every night for a week around ov in January (it was sooooooo much fun hehe we both glowed!!!) we also used conceive-plus lube, which, although expensive, I highly recommend x

We did it the two days before O and the day of O and that was it.

But everyone is so different!

Good luck!

Our situation is a bit different cause my hubby had a vasectomy reversal and didnt get any seman analysis done..so we had no clue on counts or motility..so our dr recommended every other day or day and a half so he could build up his count if he had any...we had no clue...lol...so the month we conceived we were very relaxed about it..Feb 8th was ovulation day and we dtd i think 2 times around that time...I thought for sure i was out that month..and to our surprise and shock and complete denial we are expecting blessing number 3!!

We tried for 6 months and in then end we both came to the conclusion that we would have to have sex everyday but even then it ended up being every other but twice on day of ovulation and there was BFP!

 

[pinkribbon]

I only DTD twice this cycle i got preg on, once around the time of O so I was shocked when I got a

and we were ttc for about 8 months...Reversal april 13 2011 and couldnt start to ttc till end of may beginning of June...

We literally did it once and I fell pregnant, had no time to prepare to understand ovulation dates etc. Must have just been good timing. I was on top as well. I still can't believe I fell pregnant from just that once, but its happened. I do hope you manage to get preggies soon x

 

[sparkle28]

Also I hear that diet has a lot to do with sperm count, if your partner drinks coffee and eats chocolate that can affect his sperm count, the more sperm the better. Its best not to DTD too much so when you do OV he has enough swimmers to get that egg

Hi

I DTD the day of ovulation ( I went by Pinkpad App calander ) that was it all we did and Im 4 weeks 5 days now. So when they say you only need to do it once im proof of that ! Hehe

Wish you all the luck in the world

xx

my hubby has stomach issues (gerd) and was told to go off coffee so im sure that may have had some to do with it..He went down to 1 coffee a week..and then just tea other wise...

We tried doing it every day in the week running up to ovulation, and we also tried every other day on some months. We got pregnant once using this method but resulted in chemical sadly.

Ironically we decided to take a month out in December and barely BD'd at all, and low and behold we got pregnant! I think that probably had more to do with the fact that I wasn't so stressed out about it and had my mind taken off it for a while.

 

[carlyjade86]

I had tried every day durin my fertile window for a while and didn't succeed... Then I decided "sod it" and only did it if I felt like it which happened to be just once but it worked!! I conceived the mth i "gave up"!The only thing that I did different (sorry, tmi alert!!) was that I bought myself to orgasm afterwards... Seemed to do the trick! It literally is a game of luck(or unluck, dependant on circumstances!) but it will happen for u, soon as u least expect it! Good luck!!!

Bump for more

I always got told that if you know your ovulation date, going at it like bunnies around that time was your best bet. We never did pin down my ovulation date so we opted for every 3 days at least to cover all bases... I have heard that having sex too regularly reduces the "quality" of the sperm but who knows?

Also just another little note, in the pregnancy book a friend lent me it said that if you want to have a boy, have sex ON the day of ovulation as the male gene sperm swims the fastest and will reach the egg sooner. If you want a girl then have sex a couple of days before ovulation as although they don't swim as fast, they live longer than the male sperm and so will already be in your tubes and ready to fertilise the egg when you do ovulate.

I'm probably not a good example. We DTD only once, both times. This time we were actually not trying, but I OV'd early catching us off guard.
