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

[Macmad]

I was very lucky for first DD, caught on second cycle after stopping BC. Had no idea when I ovulated, so it was luck of the draw. Although my husband now thinks he has super sperm. We'll have to see what happens this time around TTCing.

We did everything. Everyday fro cd 10-20 ( our fertility doctor did NOT recommend STD the daily as DH/OH sperm needs a day to rejuvenate), we did every other day, we did SMEP, Clomid, HSG, progesterone, OPT, you name it. The month we conceived, we did it ONCE with not outside help. Hubby had moved t a different city, wasn't seeing him lots, so baby making wasn't in the cards and boom ... It happened when we least expected.

Good luck and FX'd for you!

Hi, I is so hard TTC and it can become so emotional draining for both of u. For my 1st pregnancy I made my husband DTD every day if not every second around ovulation. We did this for around 13 months. Then the month I conceived we actually only did it the once 2 days before ov and I got my BFP. I was so shocked.

This time well we have only managed to DTD once since having our little girl and we were not even trying and as a result I got another BFP.

So I kind of think that taking it easy and just making sure you do it around ov might do the trick. I did not believe anyone that it would work that way but it did.

Goodluck and hope to see u over here soon. xxxx

Looking at everyones replies there are many of us who only DTD once!!

we did it 5 days before i ovulated once a day and about 2 or 3 days after i ovulated once a day. worked for us. we got pregnant our first try

Yep quite a lot - we did 3 days before ov, day of, and then 2 days after and it took us 3m. Last time we dtd once as I thought we'd missed the window and I got pregnant first month. Def. timing first, then frequency second, I think the every other day thing is for quality and amount of sperm so if there's not a problem with that then no need to 'store it up' (bleurgh!)

when I was ttc, my ob doctor recommended every other day during my fertile window. It was a struggle to get my husband to dtd that often, but I'm glad it worked out and we got what we wanted.

We did it 2 days before O and the day of O.

The month we got our bfp, we only dtd three times.

Once at CD9, then CD13, and lastly CD15. I temp and I believe I O'd somewhere between CD15 and CD16, so on the last day of our BD it looks like we either did it on O day or the day before it.

If you can manage it all the time, then I say go for it

One time only! Our baby was a 'surprise!', we weren't trying, so imagine our shock that it really did only take that one time.

I think it would have been on the day I ovulated that we weren't very careful, and bingo, two weeks later I find out I'm preggo.

Some background - we hadn't been using BC for over 6 months because I hate the pill and OH hates condoms, so we decided we'd just be really careful around that time of month and we either didn't have sex or OH pulled out for that week when I knew I was likely to be fertile. Then one night in January OH was horny and didn't pull out and whaddaya know! First time we'd done that without protection around my O day and we made a baby.

I know it's not that easy for everyone (especially as I have endo and OH has a variocele - we were both kind of under the impression our bits might not work too well), but you never know what may happen. Good luck!
