Trying to Get Pregnant

For pregnant peeps-- how often did you have sex?

So I just got off the phone with my uber fertile sister (3 children, all wanted but none planned) who shared that she had intercourse one time the month she must have conceived her last child and no more than 3-5 times the entire month that she conceived the other two. 

So it made me curious-- of those who are pregnant/have been pregnant, how often did you have intercourse in a typical week before conceiving?

  • What is DTD?  Some euphemism for sex, I'm sure, but I can figure what.

  • There.  Corrected for clarity-- DTD=sex.  It stands for do the deed, I guess I totally made up an abbreviation.

  • op, you can say sex. also, it doesn't matter how many times you have sex in any given month. what counts is that you have sex when you are fertile, which is only a few/ several days each cycle.

    HAHA! I like that one better than 'do the deed'!

  • Ah, OK - do the deed.  Well I am not nor have I ever been pregnant, so I guess I can't answer.  Sorry

     And to the OP-while there are GP mamas around, you will get more answers if you post on one of the tri boards. HTH

    asking a question that has already been asked today + better suited for a tri board, where people are actually pregnant = a douche covered in lame sauce

    Sorry my complex terminology confused you. (Although I don't quite understand what was so exclusive about DTD=sex)  I'll try to use smaller words for you ABC next time.

    It was the former title of your post...for the Pregnant Peeps on the board...again you are showing just how lame you are by changing the post title.

  • We had sex every other day  when I got highs on the fertility monitor and they everyday when I got my peak.

    she meant that you excluded most of the board [entitled getting pregnant, btw] by directing your post toward pregnant women while most posters on this board are not pregnant. get it?

  • I voted for 5+ because that's how often we had sex the week I ovulated.  Normally it's 2-3 times a week.  Of course much less with the 1st trimester lack of sex drive.

    I see.  The fact that this is a Getting Pregnant board was duly acknowledged in the post above her post when I asked how to move it.  I'm not on this site a lot but as far as I can tell there is still a considerable pregnant presence, esp for people who just got a positive.  At any rate, I don't understand why you wouldn't just ignore a post if you truly think its so lame rather than trying to make others feel bad.

    Surprising how little I care about this-- you don't even know me.   Thanks for the snark free answers and/or ppl who just moved on if they thought this poll was lame.
