Just that really! Did you go at it like the clappers or just do it a couple of times?

Around three or four times over the 3/4 days I got high and peak ovulation signs on a CB opk.

Once

Every day. But TTC now and might try and cut down to every other day as people say that gives the swimmers time to mature.

After 4 cycles of trying every other day and in fertile windows etc cycle 5 when we actually conceived we did it once in the whole month ha! I had no idea at the time I was fertile either as I'd given up tracking for that month! It obviously worked as I'm now 14+3 😁

Dc1 - every other day the month we conceived. Just dtd like normal for the month before that

Pregnancy two (lost at 11 weeks) took 4 months of generic shagging 😀

Dc2 - one month, one dtd. Changed our mind next day but it was too late!

Twice - Was using the clear blue ovulation kit did it the first day I got a flashing smiley then once the day I got the solid smiley.
I had the flu that month so didn't DTD as much as we did on the other cycles so I already marked that month off. But AF never turned up - i was shocked!

Once. Dh was away for the whole month and only popped home for a surprise overnight visit.
Turned into quite a big surprise.

We had been trying for 18 months. On the month we conceived we DTD everyday for two weeks over my fertile period.
We had tried OPKs and DTD every other day. DH had sperm issues and although lots of people say every other day is better for allowing sperm to regenerate, it worked for us DTD every day.

HTH Good luck!

once.

ymmv · 05/01/2017 16:55

MPerspective · 05/01/2017 16:58

Once - surgical strike. Boom

60sname · 05/01/2017 16:58

Three times

I have been pregnant twice- both times we had sex just once that month.

Plus it was during the time after coming off the pill, waiting for my real period to arrive.

To be honest, I can't quite believe it happened twice.

Now TTC for the past 6 months so a very different experience.
