How often dtd

Just had my first peak ovulation result since having my implant out in May!

I now feel guilty as I’m on the way to the gym not having sex but we had sex yesterday afternoon and there’s no time I feel less sexy than 5.30 in the morning.

How often do you DTD during your window? And will this afternoon be too late?

I hear all these people - my friends included - who just got lucky on two to three times a week, I'm not that relaxed. But also not sure my DH or I can manage twice a day!

Hello, on my third cycle my husband and I dtd every other day from about 4 days after my period ended until after the fw (according to flo) and that seemed to have worked for us (very early stages but hopefully all will go well)Smile timing is key, but sperm live for up to 5 days so I wouldn't worry about twice a day x

You had sex yesterday, do it again tomorrow (or tonight if you feel like it). A peak this morning means you will most likely ovulate tomorrow. Sperm live up to 5 days.

We just went for it every day around the time of before during and after the window. Was our first try and we where on holiday which made it easier! It worked though. I'm 9+2 now. Best of luck OP x

Thanks all. We've went for every day until today (yesterday was first Peak Ovulation day) when I think we'll take a break and once more for luck tomorrow. Hearing different things about whether everyday is a good idea, but mostly just knackered! It's relatively early days - cycle #4 - so don't want to take the joy out of sex this early!

I didn't use the sticks, just my predicted window on kindara so you have more of an idea than I did, hence just going for it. Yea you don't want to ruin the fun and sperm lives for a few days too which is helpful! X

Every other day is better than every day. Apparently.

Usually every other day but this cycle dp was away so only dtd 2 times, which was day of positive opk and Day after.

Got my bfp yesterday.

Congratulations @TheHalfBloodPrincess!

Seems like there's no clear route as I know some people say dtd every day, others every other day. Hope we've done enough...
