Ok so my title is a bit of a joke!

5 months ttc perhaps 3rd proper trying! Last month got opk and tbh it stressed me the hell out! Flo said I ovulated on day 13 ovulation sticks were still flashing on day 17! And I ran out! I have a 10 mo plus two older children so I'm hoping I don't have any conceiving problems! I got caught first month with my baby , think tht is why I'm stressing myself
Anyway me and oh have decided no sticks! And from day 5 (2 days ago) we would have sex every day and twice a day from day 8 till day 17 then once a day for rest of month!
And hoping this will help with me not stressing about sticks etc
I know they say once every other day but my partner is young and healthy so I'm wondering surely Littally having as much semen inside me gives me the best chance???

@itsafig haha! I understand my eldest is 17 so we have to be careful also! My partner is up at 5 in a morning so usually gives me a poke in back to wake me! (Literally) I'm lucky my baby sleeps 7/7 then we usually also dtd when we go to bed ' so that's how we fit it in, don't get me wrong sometimes he doesn't want it he works very long hours and sometimes I don't want it! We actually did the 30 days challenge two months ago and on day 8 I got a sex injury! Soooo embarrassing! Had to have a consultation we doctor and w head hit a nerve omg honestly worse thing ever and we weren't doing owt freaky at tht!! 🤣🤣

@positivelynegative I don't mean this bad so please don't take wrong way (as I know how tx comes across) but do you struggle to conceive?
As I heard that if this is the case, however if partner is very young has lots healthy Sperm multiple times is no problem? As I said with my baby (10mo) I had had my coil removed then we had a very rocky patch dosnt speak for two weeks then met bacn up and Littally had the weekend (4days) making up lots! I fell preg
Things have changed and we have been in a good place for a while but only dtd once a day over fertile times and nothing for 5months!

Genuine question: how do you manage it OP? Especially with a baby and two older children. I have a toddler and a 3-month old and we are having zero sex. There is no time or energy!

@Olivebranch26 really?? Wow that's so refreshing to hear this?! I just think every other day is just not enough! The strange thing is when I fell preg with my 10 month old (first month) I was soooo stressed with work and partner! I'd been out drinking tht weekend and was still smoking! Fell preg straight away! Now I have nearly been stopped smoking 2 years I haven't drank in as long (didn't drink much before) have lost weight and not stressed at all!! And 5 months on still not preg it goes against all odds lol
I don't like the temping and cm stuff I think that's you stress yourself too much so I'm hoping my idea works haha

@Yorkshiredolls haha! If we don't have a catching title we get left behind all lonely 🤣🤣

@lastbany Well it certainly can't hurt to try lol if your both up for it then why not. I read a study online found that having sex twice within a few hours makes it 3 times more likely to get pregnant. Apparently the second load has more protein and therefore faster/stronger.... I've tried this myself this month but at only 2dpo I've still got a while to see if my theory worked Wink 🤞 for you x

And I thought we were doing well with every other day all cycle. Sounds tiring.
