Giving up sex

Okay don’t laugh at me - but I’ve noticed something...

I only seem to conceive on the cycles where I don’t have sex in the two week wait.

Is this a thing? Or is this coincidence?

Some background info - the 4 times I fell pregnant I didn’t have sex in the tww as partner was abroad. We dtd around ovulation and that was it until I took my pregnancy test. 2 were successful pregnancies and 2 were early losses.

Point is all the other cycles I didn’t conceive, those cycles we had sex in tww.

Input please x

I'm trying to think how scientifically it would make any difference.
Do you think the extra sex would budge out the egg? Not being goady I'm genuinely wondering how. I think it might have been coincidence before but if you think it will work then give it a try.

I’ve heard that the contractions of the uterus during orgasm can prevent implantation sometimes? Not sure if it’s true: anyhow, I refrain from sex also in the tww. I’ve got pregnant 4 times in the last year. 3 losses and 4th is going well now nearly 14weeks

@chickenninja - I’m totally unsure that’s why I’ve posted because I’m keen to know what you all think could be going on?

@2020wish - I’ve also read that contractions during sex interfere with implantation.

Correct me if I’m wrong but during IVF are patients advised to refrain from sex for two weeks? Something like that anyway I read.

There must be something in this for me, maybe not for everyone but maybe for me this seems to help conception.

I don’t mind giving it to for two weeks each cycle but not sure OH would be happy x

@CalmDown7 ur body, ur choice. Ur DH will just have to accept u aren’t wanting to have sex for two weeks a months.

@2020wish - I know but you have to be considerate to partners’ feelings too, don’t want them to feel they are only desired when us ladies are ovulating x

@CalmDown7 I get that but If he knows that’s it to help the process along for those two weeks then it’s not a lot to ask him for then nothing is stopping u having sex after implantation is complete x

We DTD every 2 days, right through TWW as well and fell pregnant straight away x
