How often is too often?

[kylieeee]

Fiancé and I decided to finally start TTC our first baby came off the pill at the end of August and have had my first real cycle since then. I don't want to get too caught up in ovulation tests/dates etc because I know what I'm like... I'll drive myself mad and get stressed. I just have the mentality that if it happens, it happens. I do have the Flo app, mainly to see when my most fertile windows are.

We have quite an active sex life anyway, but during my ovulation window we have been DTD once a day (Flo counts about 10 days high chance of conceiving). Is this a good thing or not? I read that overdoing it can decrease the sperm count and quality so I'm a bit worried i might be doing more harm than good this way. Just would like some reassurance really

@kylieeee I have read and heard often that sex too frequent lowers the quality so I would say every day for 10 days is too much

Also just as a side note I used flow for the first 4 months because I didn't want to get obsessed with opks and it had my fertile days well out I had been missing it completely x

NHS recommends regular sex every other day. We’ve been TTC for 3 months but DTD every day during fertile period and nothing to show for it plus it has sometimes felt a bit tiring. For the next few months we’re going with every other day and see what happens.
