Too much DTD?

Husband and I are starting ttc no2 this month. He's told loads of people we are going to have a new baby September so I've no doubt they will be asking me.... No pressure to get pregnant quickly huh! But we usually had sex every day. Sometimes twice a day. My friends have told me this is too often to be good for the sperm which is probably why no1 took a few months. However I've read online that every day is healthiest for sperm as long as its for less than two weeks.
Anyone actually know please?

I think you will find arguments for and against to be honest. Everyone has a different opinion and different scientists will say different things etc etc. I fell pregnant from having sex once in 4 months, lol.

Have you looked at SMEP (Sperm meets Egg Plan) - apparently that is a 'proven' method of the best way to conceive in terms of having a specific sex regime around ovulation.

Best of luck!!!

In a book I read (expecting better) the author concluded that every day was best in terms of pure statistics. I wouldn't over think it to be honest!

Yeah I guess. Thanks. I guess it happened eventually last time anyway so just calm down! I'm too impatient and just want it to work out first time I guess!!

Iv been thinking this same question in my head too as me and my DH do tend to DTD every day and at weekends even twice a day, i was worried about the debate of does it reduce chances but surely not, if you dtd more often but get less 'swimmers' each time then this must be the same as doing it once every 3 or 4 days but getting more 'swimmers' in that one time. equals itself out i guess?... well i hope anyway! ha

I'm pretty sure I only got pregnant when we started to do it religiously every single day.
