TTC - sex every day / other day

Hi!
Just wanted to see if other people think DTD every other day rather than every day is better?
I’ve been doing every day around my fertile days for months but now wondering if I should try every other day?

Yes I used preseed too. I only got EWCM on about 2 occasions over my fertile window. I wouldn't have known had I not looked when wiping.

It’s strange isn’t it. I do recall having lots at some point. Maybe it declines with age I’m 34

Well I’m 40. I think it does decline with age. When you’re younger you have 5 days of EWCM. I just have one day of it now.

@SimplyAmy1 it took me 8 months to conceive after coming off the pill. The pregnancy ended in a mmc and I then fell pregnant again with my dd 8 months later.

@Elizabeth5585 I never really had much ewcm and I tried all the tricks like grapefruit juice in gallons and tons of water.
It isn't really necessary to temp during your period as they can fluctuate and are unreliable. It's essential to take your temp at roughly the same time each day for accuracy, however.

This is my chart from the month I conceived dd:

@Chanel05 thanks that’s a good chart, I’m new to it all but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it soon enough xx

When we were trying for our little boy I purchased the clear blue ovulation tests so we knew when I was ovulating...we did the dead not every night as I read sperm count can be reduced and it needs time to build back up...I got caught the second month of trying...the clear blue tests are fab and u get smiley faces indicating ovulation xx

@lambo88 hi I have been using them for months with no luck. I get the flashing smilies then static smilies each month

@Elizabeth5585 I spent a small fortune on the clear blue digitalis and the two times I've fallen pregnant I just used Amazon cheapies.
