Trying to Get Pregnant

need advise....when ttc....

how often do you have sex?? I know this varies from person to person, but I dont think we are doing it enough during that time.

Here is my situation...

I usually ovulate anywhere between 11-14 (11 on the early side) I was originally going to start cd7, skip 8 cd9, skip 10 and then 11-14 straight....

but then I read that it is good to start 2 days before the earliest you ovulate (cd11 for me) and then straight through....

what do you ladies think...or what have you done/been doing?

thanks for the advise

Re: need advise....when ttc....

  • If I were in your shoes I would bd every day from cd 8 till you confirm O.  And before then everyother day or so.

    Every cycle but this one, we bd every other day until I get a + OPK then it goes to every day until I confirm O.  This month I started 3 days prior to my earliest O date since my chart was a waste.

  • Have you tried OPKs?  They might help you to better pinpoint your days so you don't have to have as much sex.

    DH and I start around when I see fertile CM and then everyday once I get a positive OPK until I get a neg. one. 

    Check out my charts if you'd like to see my BD lines.

  • Thanks...yeah, my chart last month was a waste so I am not going to stress too much about that.

     

  • I did every other day and it worked for me! You can look at my chart.

  • Thanks...it is so hard to know what to do.  I want to maximize my chances, but when I said 6 days in a row, he said " WHAT" lol.....
  • I think every or every other day are both advised as optimal strategies.

    Of course, all the cycles we had weeks-long  fukc fests ended in BFNs. This cycle we only had sex 1 time during my fertile period and it worked. Luck of the draw, I guess. Still, you up your chances with more sex.
