As the title says really. Just interested to know how many times people DTD in their fertile window when you got your positives. Its so difficult knowing what is best and putting pressure on yourself so be interested to know 😀 thanks

First pregnancy - got pregnant first month, had sex roughly every other day. Sadly ended in MC

This pregnant - got pregnant second month, funnily enough the first month we had sex every day and didn't get pregnant, then the second month where I did get pregnant we only had sex around 6 times in the entire month! Grin

For DC1 it took 11 months & I can't remember how often we DTD.

With DC2, literally just the once that month, bang on ovulation day. I remember distinctly because DC1 was only 7 months & we just grabbed a moment. I was still breastfeeding & finding out I was pregnant was a bit of a surprise, but a very welcome one.

With DC3 it took four months & I conceived him either Christmas Eve or Boxing Day, which is why I remember Grin

I think every other day in your fertile window is a good idea. That's pretty much what we did, anyway.

With my daughter we pretty much dtd every day, I conceived over new year.

With my second pregnancy we dtd twice that month.

DD - Loads, probably twice a day (honeymoon)
DS - once. I pinpointed the day to DTD with ovulation sticks.

Peanutty86 · 20/12/2019 07:30

Ds1 around 3 times (I knew when I was ovulating)
This time once 😳

Day before ovulation and day of ovulation, sadly ended in a mmc though. I usually dtd every other day from cd10 as I don't ovulate until cd17 or cd18 and for 6 months after mc I wasn't ovulating until cd21-25.

DD - twice
DS - once
Ttc #3 - a zillion times and still unlucky

OceanSunFish · 20/12/2019 12:42

Not that often - about once every three days. That worked ok for all three DC.

We conceived on month 12! Every month up to then we DTD about 10 times around fertile period but the month I got pregnant we had been referred for fertility tests and I'd given up trying and was waiting on results so I think that whole month we DTD twice and I got pregnant Smile
