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?!

When ttc dc1 (2 and half yrs) we did every other day from day 8 to day 25 ish as some my cycles 35 days. We did am one day then pm two days later then am two days later so was two and a half says between shags. Made it easier somehow.

5 years of trying here!! I'm afraid romance has gone out the window. The only time i'm in the mood is my fertile time which is a terrible thing to say but I don't see the point any other time!! We literally are DTD to make a baby and I see dp face drop every month when af arrives as if to say, oh no not again!! The joys of ttc! I must say I am giving up on the thought at the moment as its far too stressful!!

Took 16 cycles to conceive DD, now TTC #2 (cycle 14) and its blinking hard work. We aim for 2 - 3 days from CD6 onwards, with daily attempts around predicted ovulation. However, there are some months when the frequency falls off as I don't force myself to shag if I'm really not in the mood. When you are in it for the long haul, you have to give yourself a break occasionally. Wink

Oh god, I'm so fed up of sex! Never thought those words would ever pass my lips, but it's true. Ok, maybe I'm just sick of goal-driven sex. Only problem is, we want a baby and just shagging when we felt like it wasn't getting the job done. It really puts a lot of pressure on you both though, doesn't it? After 2 years, I dunno, maybe I'm getting ready to throw in the towel...
