  Daily during our fertile window.
  
  Our OB/GYN had said every other but our RE told us every day is better. He said even though his counts would be higher with every other day, the total number of swimmers is higher if we get together every day.

  We aim for every day but due to my irregular ovulation, it can be hard to maintain that when my predicted fertile window can be 20 days long. So when we get tired we shoot for every other day.

  Started TTC: 12/12 Testing Started: 5/14

  Dx: Irregular Ovulation, possible PCOS

  Treatment starting July '14: Letrozole + Trigger + TI

  Surprise natural BFP right before starting meds!!!!!- EDD 3/7/15

  We aim for every 3 days throughout the cycle, and every other day in the fertile window. If I get an OPK+ and we did it the day before, we'll usually do it again that day and end up hitting O. Of course, this has never been successful for us.

  My doctor advises sex every day. When I got pregnant with my daughter (OPK and Clomid) it was daily.

  We basically did the day of my positive opk and the next day or 2 if we had it in us. When we were on medicated cycles my RE said the night of the trigger and the next night. Which basically was the same scheduled we followed on non medicated cycles.

  Fucking bump!!!!

  We do night of trigger unless we BD the night before OR like last cycle, started to surge too soon. We then skip a day, have IUI next morning then BD that night and next day...so before O it's kinda every other, then after it's daily... We do not have mfi and we've also never had success

  We do every other day especially in the fertile window, but after reading some of these comments maybe I should try every day. I think I'm in the mid set of the more swimmers the better so every other day gives them time to repopulate.
