Hi Ladies

Was just wondering has anyone else DTD every 4 days and gone on to find out they're pregnant?

My partner struggles a bit to always want sex but he seems to be ok doing it every 4 days, He has had his sperm test done and all ok, i have also had my tests all done and all ok for me to bloods and scans.

We don't really want to use opks and BTT just yet as could be a bit too stressful as just starting out and i don't have the best of sleeps at night

My cycles can range from 26 to 32 days so it
seems I can ovulate on cycle days 12 to 18 going of my previous cycles
use the Flo app to keep track of my periods

So our plan was to DTD every 4 days from the date of the period ending and then stop 5 days before I was due my period to try to cover all bases

Hopefully this helps you

Thanks so if we had planned to DTD 12th and 15th predicted date is 14 or 15 by app would this not cover this period?

was also going to dtd 9th, 18th, 21st and 24 with period coming 24th

I think experts recommended every 2/ 3 days. Could he manage every 3 days?

We are hopefully he maybe able to but he says he can only really manage when he feels the urge like he needs to release lol and so far thats happening every 4 days for him

No you're very likely to miss ovulation all together. Better off tracking ovulation and doing it that exact day or the peak day before

I thought sperm could Last up to 5 days?

I normally get ovulation pain and the ECM to

Don't really want to track just yet though so if sex every 4 days from the day period ends isn't too good and I do not want to track yet i suppose need to DTD every 2/3 days

My period ended mon 5th, DTD 6th, then plan to DTD 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th, 21st and 24th with my period being predicted to come 28th Feb
apps say my possible ovulation date is 14th or 15th Feb but i know these cant be 100% and are just a rough idea
