All Advice Appreciated!

Hi everyone,

My partner and I are TTC baby number 1. We are on cycle number 2. AF started 5 days ago so approaching 'time to try' again! The more you read, the more confusing it seems to get! I'm taking Zita West fertility vitamins and DHA as the Pregnacare ones made me feel sickly. I'm confused by what I read. Is it, the more times DTD the better or should we be keeping it to every other day? Some say do it as much as you can and others say that'll lessen the quality of the sperm.
Maybe I'm overthinking - it's hard not to! 'Relax' is difficult to do but I know its necessary! We did it loads in cycle 1 but to no avail unfortunately!
TIA!

There is loads of different advice. You could google the sperm meets egg plan.

I was under the impression that every other day is best. But honestly I think it's more important just to have sex at the right time. So if you enjoy lots of sex, have fun having lots of sex! If you're not overly bothered, aim for every other day

If there are no issues with sperm count and you want to have sex every day, go for it!
Every other day has you covered if you don't fancy it as much though.

As long as there are no issues with count & you are doing it at the right time (using OPKs / BBT) it shouldn't matter. I think EOD is the general consensus! We DTD CD 16, 18, 19 & 21 with positive OPK on day 20 & got BFP on CD 32. Good luck!

Thank you @adelias @Bambamber @Newyearsameoldshit @Sageadvice21 - I really appreciate it! I don't know much about BBT so I'll look into that a bit more!

Fingers crossed - I never realised how much I wanted it to happen until now!
