How many times should you be having sex for conception?

[strawberrysurprise]

Stupid question..

How many times is the 'ideal' amount you should be having sex to conceive?

Extremely naive - I've been ttc but only having sex 3-4 times a month and only during my 'ovulation week'. Wondering if I'm literally just not having enough sex!!

Am I being unrealistic? How many times is the ideal amount?

It only takes one time. I did once during my fertile window and just found out I'm pregnant, thought I wouldn't be! Usually we did every other day though

I would do every other day week before ovulation and a few days after just to make sure.

Lots, every other day during the window. Why restrict yourself?

As much as you both feel like. With DD we got pregnant unplanned and were DTD around once a week, with our second we were trying, and the cycle that worked was every other day during the 6 day window. It does just take one lucky shot though.
