To dtd every day or every other day?

[tryingtryinggone]

As the title suggests, what have everyone had better results with??
This whole ttc thing is not all it cracked up to be! Managed to get pregnant on our second cycle but miscarried and now on cycle 5 so I know it’s still quite early days but I’m impatient and getting disheartened every month when af shows up.
Now on cd1 so wanting to go into this month with a plan and for 2020 to be my year!
I have read things about it being best to dtd every other day to allow sperm to improve quality but is this likely to be the case for us in our mid 20’s?
Have been following the smep the last few months and wondering if I’m missing the mark slightly by dtd every other day up to a positive opk.
Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts and advise and for this to be all our months/years!

Every other day is more than sufficient in a fertile couple and actually better than every day for the reasons you mention.

Got pregnant first cycle officially and DTD everyday from CD 10-21, bar three days dotted in between those dates.

Last month was our first time trying and to say it was stressful would be saying the least... we attempted everyday from about day 9 and that lasted for 5 days then I got discouraged and just tired tbh... this month we are trying the SMEP so praying that works but I’ve seen people that it’s just better to do it every other day as it gives you and your partner a little rest

It took me 1 and a half years before I fell pregnant with my first, because we were trying too hard and dtd every day. Our Dr told us every other day or every couple of days to allow the sperm to build up in quality. And guess what is worked. Of course my Dp thought it was just a good excuse on my part. He knows better now. Good luck

The thing that worries me about trying to 'timetable' it too much is that it stops it being something pleasurable and just something that feels more clinical, and I don't think that kind of pressure will do either of you any good. I know obviously that it has to be within that window, so I try not to mention the fact that I'm in my fertile window too much to hubby and just try to dtd as much as I can in that window. In my head I aim for every day, but if for example we're too tired/not in the mood tonight then we won't as we dtd the last night and will do it tomorrow instead. If we are both in the mood then we will dtd tonight!
