How often do you dtd??

[Darkestbeforethedawn]

Just that really for anyone who wants to answer.
During fertile window we probably only have sex two-three times max. This will be our 5th cycle. I use opks and dtd on that day as well as maybe a day either side.

Is most people on the board dtd every day or every other day? Or is there anyone a bit like myself?

Every other day during the fertile window except try do the day after as well as day of positive opk.

I have tried every other day throughout the cycle but it's very difficult with the toddler who doesn't sleep in his own bed. Also, I ovulate on CD 19-21 so by then we've usually ran out of steam 😂

@8DaysAWeek thanks for the reply. I also ovulate round cd 18-20 and have a 3yr old DD so i feel your pain..
Along with myself and partner working, him with long hours and just general life stresses ☹ it can be tough

We both worked shifts so usually only managed to dtd 2 or 3 times during fertile week. In the month that I got my BFP we dtd the day of my positive opk and two days later - that was enough!

If you can manage more that’s great but it can put pressure on your relationship and make you feel more stressed out if you don’t succeed.

I was temping and doing opks last month and got a bit obsessive so am thinking about not tracking anything other than cm this month to take the pressure off and just dtd as much as possible. But we find it difficult with work and DS etc too so I'm worried if I don't have clear evidence in front of me that I NEED to dtd TONIGHT for a proper shot then I'm scared life will get in the way and I'll miss it

We got our first bfp doing 3days in a row on positive opks. Sadly lost that bub at 8 weeks. Then this time got our bfp with an 8day in a row marathon!! 🤣😂 we were both relieved it worked so we could rest!! Haha and we don't have a little one so easier. Good luck. 🤞🏻you get your bfp!!
