Week leading up to and after ovulation

[Nattles33]

Hi all.

Just wondering how often you lot DTD the week before and after ovulation.

I'm currently using the app Flo to track AF and possible ovulation days. Xx

Every other day near O and if I can pinpoint O, then on the day before and on the of O as well.
After O, we DTD every 3 days or so. Depends a lot on our schedules, whether I am home in my fertile week or not.

Thanks Kitana xxx
That's what we've been doing and I think it worked when we got pregnant end of Jan as I wasn't tracking ovulation.

Fingers crossed it happens this month.

Probably every other day leading up to ovulation and then from the pos opk every day for 3 days. Apps on their own are not necessarily that accurate in my experience. I use opks and temping. Once my temp goes up we stop.

I got pregnant in December when I was barely tracking anything! I feel annoyed a bit now since I'm a bit lost in my cycles and wish I had written more down! But I guess the relaxed approach is the way to go! Good luck to you!x

Not sure about my first pregnancy as that was an accident but for this one I only dtd the day of peak and day after aswell as once more a few days way after O. I also done that in my last pg.
up until I got the bfp I was trying to dtd as much as possible in my fertile window and for a few days after so I think it’s just all pot luck xxx

When I got my bfp in March I was shocked as I wasn’t tracking ovulation. But if I take a guess we had sex cd6,9,11 and 14 and I usually ovulate around cd11,12 or 13 depending on the month. Yes definitely relax approach is the best. I didn’t stay lying down or thought about getting pregnant as I thought there is no way without making a special afford. So my advice would be to not think about. Glass of wine or 2 helps

Congratulations to you ladies are you recent BFPs.

Well according to my app it's ovulation day on Saturday.
Planning on dtd over the next couple of days.
Just going to try and relax and not think 'will this be our time'

When we first got pregnant back in Jan we weren't tracking ovulation and were just dtd every couple of days but were relaxed about it. So I definitely think that's the approach to take.

We're off to Amsterdam on Good Friday so will probably do a test before we go...not sure if it would even show anything up then anyways?
