This is the first month that we have been TTC seriously and DH we have decided that we should do it as much as possible to have the best shot. He seems to be under the misapprehension that the more we do it, the more pregnant I'll get Grin

But I'm knackered! Admittedly we did get a bit over enthusiastic a little bit early because DH can't count but even so. And I read some threads where there are people that do it every day all the time Shock

Where on earth do they find the energy?!

twinklestar I know,sorry I wasn't meaning to come across preachy or anything. I know its hard and you just have to do it for the end result. I also know I haven't been trying long so don't know what its like in the long term. I imagine it gets tough. I'm already worried about it not happening!! I was just trying to put a positive spin on it,but maybe I didn't come across right!!

Roofio it's easy to say that when you haven't been trying for months and months! We have to have sex to get pregnant, whether we enjoy it or not.

they say you should try to have sex every 2-3 days so there will always be sperm waiting when u ovulate. I don't think its great to go crazy if ur not enjoying it. me and my bf are both 25 and living together so we do enjoy having sex most nights but I think you should just do it when u want to and enjoy it!! I'm sure feeling pressured into sex just to conceive isn't the best way to get pregnant. I find myself getting caught up in it all and need to relax more!!Smile

Haha exactly what I said to my best mate! Iv never had a major sex drive but every other day during last week and saturday,Sunday and today's lunch break has well as truly killed me!
I could never be a sex worker that's for sure I'd b bankrupt!
