Every Day or Every Other Day?
Hi All,
Out of curiosity I wanted to conduct a bit of a mini survey...
We unfortunately suffered a mmc at 13 weeks back at the end of April. I am 40 years old and literally had my coil (copper) removed on the Thursday, dtd on the Tuesday and 10 days later I found out I was pregnant! We couldn't believe it but sadly it wasn't meant to be
We have been TTC ever since witrh no luck and we are now into Cycle #6 (currently CD10). I am charting and using OPKs so know I am ovulating and generally ovulate on CD13 or 14.
My question is, when you conceived, did you dtd every day or every other day? I have really upped my game this month and am on various supplements, am exercising more and eating as healthily as I can. H is also taking supplements to help his soldiers along just in case. I was planning on going for CD9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18 and 20 this month but read so much conflicting advice on if every day is a good or bad thing.
So what did you do?

Hi Razoredcarrot, hope you are well
We followed the Sperm Meets egg plan both times we conceived (one ended in mc, the other is current pregnancy) Its quite hardcore- every other day from cd 6 (from memory) and then every day though fertile period, miss a day and then once more for luck! I believe it was designed for people trying to conceive again after a mc and we did the first month of trying, but you never know how much of that is down to luck and other circumstances. I'm only a teeny bit younger than you at 35.
I don't think we could do it every month of trying mind you- its exhausting, haha!
Best of luck
Thanks lorew, I suppose we have been loosely following smep but often H is getting fed up. We could only start yesterday (cd9) this month as H has been away and I’ve chatted with him to ask if he is up for really going for it this month and his response was we can try 😂 I think I’m due to ovulate Thursday or Friday so might have a break tonight then go tuesday to Friday every day and Sunday for luck! To be honest he made a point that he thought he has really been going for it every month and we have really when I look back through my charts, it just isn’t working for whatever reason.
Fingers crossed we can catch that illusion egg this month!
I hope you are feeling well x
Hi just found out I am pregnant 2 days ago. I used clear blue ovulation dual hormone test. I had a flashing smiley for 4 days. We DTD on a Friday. Got my positive static smiley 2 days later on the sunday,so dtd. Then we DTD again on Tuesday. This was all we did over my fertile window. I think sex everyday can lower sperm count. Couldn't believe it when I got.my bfp especially as I have no symptoms yet.
In previous cycles we had been baby dancing from CD 10-16. But this was getting exhausting and wasn't working.
I too had a mc after getting pregnant first time trying. This time it too us 3 months to conceive. I am 26 years old.
Wishing you good luck and lots of baby dust. Every other day worked best for us
