How often?

[MrsKTx]

How often do you all DTD during fertile week? Do you also do it on ovulation day or do you think it's better to do it before?
I feel like I am overthinking it all so wanted to know what other people do...

Every day of FW until temping proves ovulation has happened. If you're not temping and have clear ovulating symptoms, you can dtd every other day.

I try and have sex for three consecutive days running up to ovulation then a break of a day then every other day after.

However, this has only worked once in 19 months and that ended in miscarriage, so maybe take other advice too.

Thanks Anne.
I've done ovulation tests all week, yesterday and Wednesday the lines were very faint and today it is a strong line?
I've DTD everyday but don't think I have another few days of doing it in me!

Actually I just did a totally not very scientific survey last night from fertility friend charts, pregnant vs non pregnant cycles, and this is what I found:

The most common amount of times to DTD during the fertile time on pregnant charts was 4.

Some of the non pregnant charts had over 5x DTD but none of the pregnant charts had this many.

Non pregnant charts were skewed towards DTD on ovulation day and the day after, whereas pregnant charts were skewed towards O-1 and earlier.

Conclusion - EOD seems to hold up, and more focus on before ovulation than after.

(In reality - take with a pinch of salt - some couples got pregnant with 1x DTD).

We tend to dtd every other day from cd7/8 through to day 18. I’m not convinced there’s much of a rhyme or reason to it all though! One cycle I fell pregnant we only dtd once, other cycles we’ve been far more frequent and nothing. To some degree I reckon just do what suits you best and what you can manage
