Sex. Every. Day...????

[jamiegrl24]

During O week, that is...don't get crazy.

What's the verdict on that? I've heard "yes!" "Meh go for it" and "no! It makes sperm weak."

What say you ladies? I just got my solid smiley on OPK but we have BD the last 3 nights. I am paranoid about missing the surge!

I think if you and DH are up for it, it's worth a shot. I've heard so many theories. Everyday, every other day, every other day until surge then 3 days in a row. If it doesn't work switch it up next cycle.

 

[Gypsy99]

I've heard theories too. If your DH has low sperm count it is apparently not recommended every day. People say every second day is enough in all cases, but that hasn't been proven right for me!!

Good luck. I'd probably be paranoid to and go for it as well.

I think if you enjoy it and want to, there's no reason to avoid it, but no I don't think it's necessary and frankly I would struggle to convince my husband that much effort is required! I've gotten pregnant twice now very quickly only having sex the day before and day of O. I suspect we may have caught it again this month, again only those two days the whole month (we were just travelling and busy so that's all we could manage). The only reason I would say yes is if you struggle to know when you ovulate and want to cover all bases or you have a partner who struggles to finish (in that case, more is better just because some attempts won't be successful). In my own experience though, two perfectly timed days has worked best. But also neither of us could probably muster the enthusiasm for that much sex in one week!

Haha, have to say I agree with that! I just don't have that much energy any more, especially during the week... I'd usually rather sleep We've just started TTC and having to time sex around O is an adjustment

Im curious about this
Stalking thread alert lol

 

[Shortstuff88]

With our first we we're every other day from about D15 (because I have long cycles) and then the day of O and the two following days and then after that it was only if we could be bothered or wanted to. That didn't work for 5 months and then the month I fell pregnant we just DTD on the day of O and the day after and that was it.
But this time we're trying to as much as possible just in case.

 

[puffers121]

Well, got my BFP last week and didn't realize I was ovulating during the week that we DTD several times in 4 days. I would say the more the merrier? It worked! I didn't realize I was ovulating at the time, because I typically have much longer cycles and happened to have a normal length one this time.

When I got my bfp we DTD every day but 2 from the time af left. It was a lot lol. But it isn't necessary. I have VIP on Fertility Friend and with that it gives you what kind of chance you have based on when you did it according to your O date. A "GREAT" rating is O-4, O-3, O-2, O-1, O, O+1 (from 4 days before O to 1 day after O). So if you know about when you are going to O just time it for those days.

Also, if you do want to try every day make sure to make it every 24 hours. So don't have evening sex and then morning sex. He needs about 24 hours for the sperm to gather up again.

I have also read the following about the two ways

Every day and there are slightly less sperm but they are faster (we are talking a few hundred thousand less of the millions so in the grand scheme not a huge difference)

Every second day: more sperm but they are slightly slower (and again, slightly is not by much in the grand scheme).

 

[happycupcake]

If there aren't any sperm issues then each day is fine. Some have sex more than once a day. If there are issues then every other day, but I think this also depends on severity of issue.
I'm always too horny to do every other day, and if I wasn't prone to UTIs I would do it more than once a day lol as it stands though, we have sex most of fw usually starting from CD7 until CD12 but since ovulation happened CD13 cycle just gone we will have to extend this I think

 

[sarah2211]

We did. Every day from CD 11-17 and twice on CD 16 (ovulation day). My husband's motility is on the low side, but we didn't find this out until my TWW of the cycle I conceived. We'd been TTC for just over a year, third cycle of Clomid (first I didn't ovulate and second cycle we BD every day of my fertile window too).

I reckon, every day or every second day, just don't burn yourselves out.

Thanks ladies! I'm going to test tomorrow morning and see what happens! I haven't had much in the way of symptoms except for a little soreness in the boobs. FX!!
