How often do you BD when TTC?

[PukkaTeaAddict]

Hello all! How often do you BD when TTC? I've read lots of conflicting things about how often is most effective! Last month me and DH tried twice a day after a fertility doctor just said try as much as possible, but it did get a bit exhausting after a week 😂. I've since read that this is not a good idea, so now I'm confused as to what to do!

I'm currently on day 6 of my cycle and on my first cycle of clomid so want to get it right! DH had a SA and everything was normal apart from the morphology, which was 2%.

Every 2-3 days is optimium - if you do it too often the sperm doesn't have time to replenish/mature. So every other day should cover it!

You’re allowed to say have sex on here. There is no need to use silly terms like BD or DTD. If you’re mature enough to think about having children you’re mature enough to use the word sex.

In answer to your question most experts advise you to have sex 2-3 times a week when TTC.

@EarlGreyT no need to be shady! I'm new to the infertility forums/ forums in general and was just trying to fit in.

I joined as I've had a hard time dealing with infertility, and don't have anyone to talk to about it who knows what it's like (apart from my husband, which is a bit of an echo chamber as we both feel exactly the same way and talk about it a lot!). When I joined I noticed everyone was using lots of acronyms, so I used "BD" and "TTC" so I wouldn't feel out of place. Sorry if that offended you 😞

Thanks for al of your replies, sounds like we were trying a bit too hard last month! Will stick to every other day and keep everything crossed!

@PukkaTeaAddict good luck!

Yep every other day is what l have been told by a few doctors
