Sex TTC pattern....
With a normal sperm count partner, what works? What doesn't? Is everyday bad? Is every other day successful?

Re: Sex TTC pattern....
From what I've heard and read every day with a normal sperm count. Since sperm can live longer than the egg we're BDing every day.
A couple of my married friends told me they tried every other day but when they switched to every day they got preggos.

Re: Sex TTC pattern....
We we're successful (even though they were chemicals) by BDing every other day about a week before I thought I would I. After I got the surge on the OPK we BD every day for a couple of days.
As long as your partner has a good sperm cound you can BD every or every other day.
We did every other because when you have fertile CM the sperm can live inside you for a few days...and I was too tired to BD every day for almost 2 weeks.

Re: Sex TTC pattern....
Poor Kathy... tired from too much TTC... 
We haven't tried the every day/every other day pattern yet. But I think we will this month. We still wanted to keep the spontaneity, and would do it sporadically, but it hasn't worked, so I want to do something new. 
I'll do what you guys say... every other day until I get the surge, then every day until CM dries up. 
Good luck to MEEEEEEEEEEEEE, and to all you ladies, BABY DUST!!!! Except you, Kathy... you're already knocked up...

Re: Sex TTC pattern....
When we were TTC with my son we did it everyday 3 days leading up to ovulation and on ovulation day. We even did it 2 times in 1 day too. We got prego the first month we tried/tempted. Good luck!
You can try everyday for a few months and if it doesn't work, go every other day.

Re: Sex TTC pattern....
the problem with us is that my DH and I are soooo tired to do it every day. Plus he read about the whole every other day thing and now he is convinced.

What you need to do is make it something to look forward to, not something you NEED to do. Give him one night to "plan" a scenario. Go with it. Then it's your turn....
whether it's a shower or candle lit dinner and too much wine.....you really need to relax about it all and just let it happen.
I'm pretty sure the first time we got PG, it wasn't in the bedroom....
