So DH and I have been together for 6 years and have decided to start trying for a baby! I'm so excited but have no idea where to start so looking for some help! I've read on the nhs website that we should be DTD every 2 - 3 days but I thought we could only get pregnant if I was ovulating? How do I track ovulation? Should I be taking vitamins? I know I probably sounds really stupid but I would really appreciate some help!

Thanks!

The advice is to take pre natal vitamins 3 months prior to ttc. (A lot of people don't take these until they're ttc but if your planning get taking them 😊)

I would just have sex when you want 2-3 times a week. Sperm can live up to 7 days. Fertility consultant gave us this advice as well.
Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. A lot of people do ovulation sticks etc and sometimes it gets abit regimented. It's totally up to you and your husband what yous want to do.
