Dtd every other day

[Lauren8642]

Our first month TTC was unsuccessful I fell pregnant straight away with our first so when I saw the negative test and that I started my period I was gutted.
We dtd near enough every other day so we thought we had covered all bases but obviously not. I was thinking what I could do differently this cycle and thought about using ovulation sticks but if we’re dtd every other day surly there’s no point in using them?
Is it just luck of the draw as to when you fall pregnant?
I’ve posted a picture of what the app estimated my ovulation at and when we dtd.

Ive been trying for 1 year (inc. m/c 6M ago) this cycle I am back to dtd every other day as nothing else has worked and we conceived our first this way in cycle 3.

research also suggests that dtd every day does not increase your chances of conceiving more than dtd every other day.

@LittleMrsPretty sorry to hear about that did you do anything else on cycle 3 other than dtd every other day?

No cycle 1, 2 and 3 just every other day and it worked on third time lucky. I didn’t even track
ovulation.

when I conceived my M/C we dtd every day when the flo app said it was a high chance of pregnancy. But this was probably just luck as I've since read that every other day gives better odds of conceiving.

2 months is really no time at all and you were so lucky previously to conceive first cycle.

I should add I conceived my first in lockdown so did not have much stress in my life. This was probably a big factor.

I was working with a toddler and doing a uni course when I TTC second time and had my MC.
