I'm thinking we don't do it enough!
So how often do you - and is there anything you follow? Ie every second day, just around ovulation?  ------------- TTC 6 years IVF it is IVF/ICSI round one 10 eggs, 8 mature, 3 fertilised BFN IVF/ICSI #2 = 22 eggs! 20 mature, 15 fertilised, 1 fresh transfer and 2 frosties BFN 2 Frosties still in freezer thank god |

Not at all now, lol!
But when we were TTC we did it at least every second day between CD10 and 24. ------------- J - born 26th April 2008 and L - born 3rd Sept 2010 http://alterna-tickers.com">

I think it depends on the men's sperm quality...
My DH is 40 and so we do every second day from end of period, until I know I have OV'd... But if your partner is younger and has no problems, you could do every day if you want around OV time no problems, just don't wear yourself out!!!! I think 1-2 days is the norm, but not more than once a day (unless within 30min) and don't leave it more than 5 days regardless of where you are in the cycle as that is also bad.... Have also heard that AM rather than PM tends to be a little more successful... Good luck!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We bascially tried for every day the week before Ovulation - and every second day any other time of the month (except AF time of course!)
DH was pretty good, he'd ask if there was any chance of me falling preggo & if it was slim then we'd be off to the bedroom! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hey booboo, the cycle I got UTD I ov'd on CD15 and we BD'd on days 11,13,15,16.
I ov at roughly the same time every cycle so we always start about CD11 and do every day or every second day until I get a temp rise. My gynae said that every second day was better because it gives the swimmers a chance to replenish themselves fully 
Swimmers are meant to be able to hang around for up to 5 days but that's only in fertile CM and I'm not taking any chances

Hey Booboo I was charting when TTC number 1 so we BD'd every day from CD 10 till I got a temp rise. With number 2 we were not TTC yet and think we only BD'd once that month (the joys of having a 5 month old!) and somehow got UTD, so who knows 
I will back up the am theory as the first month we tried am BD'ing we got UTD, the previous months we were doing it in the PM  ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

We BD in the morning! DH is a builder works hard all day then our evenings are usually filled in with paperwork, quotes, pricing, meetings etc so there is not much energy to do anything other than sleep!
His alarm is off at 5:30 am, usually catch him earlier so he's not late on site
Good start to the day I say
I dont think we BD enough, but my FS at repromed said to me every 2nd day was enough. ------------- TTC for 4 1/2 years IVF #1 - April 2012 short BFP, no frosties IVF #2 - August 2012, BFP!! 3 frosties! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Lol im not a morning person so not really a chance of BDing then for us plus DH is away to work early.
We usually try every 2nd day from CD10 until OV but sometimes if I ov later we run out of steam hehe. This month we did every 2nd day from day 10 then once I got +OPK we did that day and then the next two so it was 10,12,14,15,16. ------------- TTC#2 Sept09 Lap/Dye Feb 11 - All Clear Clomid Oct 10, March 11, May 11 MC Aug 11 IVF to start June 2012 Natural BFP 2 April 2012 MC May 2012 Natural BFP 31 Aug 2012 |

We normally start around CD10/12 and do every day or every second day up until OV. Usually its around 4 or 5 times in that week and by then we're over it and need a break!

I think the morning BDing theory is interesting as I've just looked back at my charts and my last two BFP's where a result of morning BDing, not sure about the first as I wasn't charting then.
Personally I just BD when I feel like it as I don't really want to make it feel like a chore. Although from after AF to ov I notice I have always been alot more frisky than after ov so it naturally happens quite alot at the "right" time anyway. My naturopath did say that if DP's swimmers where on the low side then we would need to cut back to every 2nd day, but as that is not a problem there is no need (thankfully as I would of hated to have that conversation with DP). -------------  Angel Babies Nov 09, May 10, Dec 10

Interesting reading everyone's theories.
I'm like Didi and don't want it to be a chore so just do it when feel like it. We have very different libido's which makes it rather frustrating at times! I usually try to get in a couple sessions around ov - normally manage one right on ov. ------------- TTC since Oct 2009 4 x DI's failed IVF1 CP & MC IVF2 CP IVF3 Angel baby born 22.3wks |

Yep in the morning Booboo! I was lucky that the month I got UTD with no1 was labour weekend so there was no getting up early for either of us
Edited to say: Booboo if you know your cycle well and can predict when you will ov, try and book some time off for you and your DH and have a wee 'mini break' ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Really interesting that BDing in AM is more sucessful. Might have to give it a go! We have been terrible the last couple of months - travelling an hour each way for work does that to a girl's libido! Just resigned so bring on the baby making! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| We BD-ed every day in the 5 days leading up to O, then the day after too, just to be sure. Normally around lunchtime. And I would then lie on my back with a pillow under my bum and my knees pulled up to my chest. Worked like a charm! But it was a bit of a chore, i must say, but it was worth it. |
