Every day or every other day?

[LuckyLaura]

I think I'm in my fertile window. I'm using an app to track it and it suggests I'll ovulate on 24th. My body seems to be agreeing and I've had loads of ewcm today- I've been welcoming a slug family down there haha

Is it better to dtd every day this week or every other day? Also does anyone think holding the sperm inside after for like 10 mins actually helps or is it just a myth? Haha

Sorry if tmi xxx

With my first it was ivf in the end after trying for ages! I tracked ovulation and we dtd every day around ovulation ( or at least tried ) but didnt work.

My last unplanned pregnancy a couple if months back which ended in mc we only did it once in the fertile window and not sure which day but think perhaps 1 or 2 days before ovulation and that was enough. Very strange but makes me think perhaps every day is not the best.. Or its luck.. Funny enogh though, when we try now we are back to almost every day, just cant help mysel since want to make sure we dont miss it!! .

Good luck! X

Every 2nd day is just as effective as everyday - good luck xx

I did the butt in the air afterwards but just to be on 'the safe side' lol. Not sure if it actually helps

I think every other day is fine. I do legs in air for 20 mins after.

I've tried every day for a week and every 2nd day...and still nothing. This month I will only for in a few days thid time around. It's all about the timing more than how many times ...just your luck !

We've tried every day and every other day and nothing yet so now we dtd pretty much every day not cause we have to but cause we want to except we haven't for the last 2 days though as it's been 32 degrees here and been far to hot for that! As long as you have sex at least every 2-3 days your definitely covered xx

We did every other day with everyday up to ovulation point. I think some girls have also asked their oh 'no self service' in the past to make sure they're getting everything lol. I didn't personally haha xx good luck

In my experience (Everyone is different i know) think every two/ three days but ensuring you have a good build up on his part (sorry TMI) around 5/6 days after the thick EWCM ( Thick clear jelly stuff) Up until the month i conceived i thought that thick stuff was GO GO GO time, it's not though from what ive since read. Also don't lose pace after you suspect ovulation has occurred. I copped out much later in the month than any OPK or symptom spotting suggested.

fingers crossed for you! x

I did every day and conceived the first month, had a mc and caught again on month 3 I also did the butt in the air thing as it helped everything stay up in me, otherwise I felt like most of it came out and was wasted
