How often to have sex?

My DH and I are ttc first time and it’s coming up to my fertile window. How often should we be having sex? He’s under the impression that we should every other day or every 2 days as apparently it takes this long to “replenish” his bank so to speak, but I’ve never heard this before.

I thought every day increases the chances. What’s everyone else’s advice? Thank you x

And when I say morning I mean 5-6 am 😐

The trick is not how often but the timing in the day

always in the morning as testosterone is higher (told by IVF clinic and fertility nutritionist )

Every other day which is every two days isn't it 🤔

hi! I was told by the GP that every other day is better if your partner is a bit older, as older men take a bit longer to “replenish”, and that certainly was the case for my husband (he’s 43). It worked for us anyway, I’m currently 13w with baby number 1! Good luck 😊
