Question

How many of you conceived having sex every other day?

DH and I are in our 3rd cycle trying for baby #1. Last month I did the OPK and found out I ovulate around cycle day 17/18. But obviously didn't conceive. first month we mainly just had sex on the days I thought I was ovulating but was way off. So this month I thought we would just have sex every other day once my period is finished. Just wondering who has done this and had success and got their BFP!!!!

Dh and i are also in our third cycle trying to conceive #1. I am so confused as to when i ovulate. Last month we did it every day in my "fertile window" according to CTP. But.. I still am not entirely sure when i ovulate so who knows if we missed our window! Good luck to you! If you want someone to talk to during this time feel free to add me! I am on cd9 today.

Have you tried OPK? This helped me figured out when I ovulated and my luteal phase. But I think just for safe measure, we wil BD every other day until AF arrives (hoping not) next month.

I am on cycle day 4.

I will add you!

We tried it but couldn't do it for longer than about a week and sex just became a chore. We did not conceive that month. I had trouble with opks as I never knew when I actually ovulated, so I never knew when to have sex because it varies so much from woman to woman! You hear to have sex before, the day of, and days after a postive opk- it's maddening! Best thing I did was throw the opks away and go back to enjoying sex.

I Understand, one month we had sex 6 days in a row, it was alot of work, but I am sure we can manage every other day, hopefully this is our month!!
