How much sex should we be aiming for during the FW? Every other day? Every day?
I was thinking EOD, but there might be a couple days we could step it up. Is there any downside to every day, sperm quality wise?
Am I way overthinking this?

I've always heard that unless you have known sperm issues, there's no reason ED would be a problem. But that said, the statistics say that EOD is just as effective as ED so you shouldn't feel pressured.

If you want to do it ED, and you both have the stamina, that's fine from what I understand. But statistically EOD is just as good, so giving yourselves a night off is fine too!

My advice is to do what your relationship will handle. I never pushed every day/every other day and instead aimed for one or two days in the fertile window. I didn't want sex to become a chore.
All it takes is once. Do what works dor you guys.

Ditto what everyone said. We used to aim for ED, but it became too much for us so we just hit what we felt like. Do what works for you two.

We did EOD last time around. ED would be too much for us, especially now with a toddler, but they have a similar rate of success.

We did ED once. Only once. It was not for us. We're usually EOD or every 2 days. ETA, and the cycle we got pregnant with DD we only hit one day in my FW, so... joy is right. It only takes one. |

Thanks, ladies. I definitely don't want to make it a 'chore', for either of us.

DH has mild MFI, so we shoot for EOD, and occasionally we throw in ED if I think our timing wasn't great and I get a +OPK. Both our kids were conceived only having sex once for LO#1 and then twice for LO#2 during the 5 days prior.

While TTC for DS I pushed for ED (thought that's what would work "best"- wrong), but honestly, EOD is heaps less stressful for me/us. I O anywhere between CD13 and CD22 and ED for that long is just wayyyy too much. I have been much more relaxed this go around in terms of timing of sex.
