This may sound like a daft question but how often are you supposed to ?
Every day? Every second day? Three times a week? Every day on the week of ovulation ( if you are lucky enough to know when that is!!)? DH and I have been trying to every second day throughout the month. Is that enough, even at ovulation time??? I am not sure either of us could manage any more, bloody exhausted as it is!! Any guidance welcomed.

Well my doc said to BD every other day throughout the month but around the time of ovulation then BD every day - she said that providing the spermies are A OK then that is alright but if you have a low sperm count, every other day is better to give them a chance to 'regroup'!!! I don't think i could cope with it every night!!! i'd be walking like John Wayne!!!

It really depends on what you are most comfortable with. You don't want to BD so much that you and your DH start viewing it as a chore. We did the every other day method for the first 2 months, the 3rd month I had started a new job and we BD'd a couple of times a week and that was when I managed to get my BFP.

It really is exhausting isnt it!!!! I am thinking of trying Preseed so I would be interested to hear how it goes. I have been using EPO for the last month and I am quite pleased with that. Lots of CM. (TMI - sorry!!!)

Good advice Vickie. I have heard when you start to relax a bit about TTC is when it is most likely to happen. Easier said than done though.
