How many times do you try each cycle?

ArcticFox

I do this to myself every time.. which has not been much.. but I seriously beat myself up, like we didn't try enough..

How many times do you try per cycle, and what days?  Like do you try for the days before you ovulate, and your ovulation day?

And, what cycles do you feel confident?  (e.g. you tried once but it was the night before you ovulated, or you had sex the whole week of ovulation..)

I TTC this cycle the night before and the day I ovulated, but I still feel really insecure... so what do you do, and what woudl your ideal be?

Any day...lol. No but I try to FWP at least the day I O and 2 or 3 days before...but lately(the last few months) timing has not been my friend. So maybe this cycle will be yours!!! GL

There has actually been a study and a few SAL testimonies that they got KU by FWPing the day AFTER they ovulated, as well as before.  There's also the "sperm meets egg plan"

this site is also my favorite for pregnancy loss info so please browse around it.  It's hard to know how good your timing was until you get that BFP so good luck!

Well, we do it every other day throughout the month, and then when I seem to have more cm we do it every day during that time.

I don't know if it really works or not because I'm still not pg, so who knows. 

I think every other day is good around time of ovulation, from what I've read.

Good luck!

Weeeeell, this cycle, DH and I did it 13 times in the eight days leading up to O. ?It helped that we had not seen each other in a couple months and that we knew if we didn't get PG this cycle, we would not be able to try again until May (he is working overseas).

The doctors say every other day,  a day or so before and after Ovualtion.

TWO of my drs have said that one of the biggest misconceptions is that there is a 4-5 day "window" around O to get pg. He says that most new studies are saying that one of the reasons is that people are not having enough BD!!  because of lunar cycles and weird blips- it is possible to get KU anytime between day 7 and 21 of your cycle and that you should BD every second day around this time!!  SOOOOO that is what we are planning on  starting from tomorrow! (Day 7!)  Interesting stuff from a couple of sources.

I figured out my window with the calculators.  I started about a week after I stopped bleeding.  We went every other day until I OV then went 2 sdays in a row, 1 day off and then one more day to seal teh deal.  That worked teh secon dtime.  The first time I was hardly trying but did it every other day for about 5 days.

We did it two day before ov once a day. And the day after and the day after that. But those two days like twice a day. And bamn PG
