How many times did you DTD when you fell pregnant

As name suggests am currently TTC - I put another thread about how my period this month was extra long & I was feeling rough so by the time I felt well enough to DTD I was already on day of ovulation which likely means I’m out for this month.
Got me thinking how many times in a month does it usually take people to actually get pregnant - will once be magic or do we need to be doing it 5x a day for a week 🤣 so.. how many times did you DTD the month you fell?

We had sex everyday until I fell pregnant. Luckily didn’t take too long both times! I love sex but not that much 🤣

We've always gone for the not for a few days then at it like rabbits approach but then got pregnant first month each time so not sure it would have been sustainable otherwise 😂 apparently having a few days build up gives better chances?

Once. First time ever.

Frequently for 4 years .... then I fell pregnant with twins when we'd only done it once that month.

Are you checking that you’re ovulating? I found it helpful to track my cycle, with OPK and taking my BBT. I found that I ovulated at exactly the same time each month (CD14 of 26).

We only DTD on day 10 and day 12 on the month we conceived. It was the fourth month after coming off the pill. The other months we had done more.

You need to let the sperm regenerate, so 5x a day isn’t going to help.

Good luck 🤞🏻

It took a year of DTD on every other day in high, and both peaks, for both pregnancies which ended in miscarriage. A year each time.

Then the pregnancy resulting in DS was having sex once, no idea when in my cycle, as we’d given up trying.

Good luck OP xx

With DS we had sex every day until I got pregnant on first month TTC, with DD we were more not not trying so once. I'm aware we were very lucky.
