BD'ing every OTHER day??? Why?

OK, now I'm confused. Dh and I BD everyday normally and we are on cycle 1 of TTC #2...we conceived dd only 2 months after we started having sex, and we would only have sex on the weekends (we lived away from eachother) so I have no idea what the advantage would be to cutting back...My dh is only 22 (I'm 21) and since we already have 1 child, we know we CAN get pregnant and I'm hoping that is still possible...is the only advantage to doing it every other day if the man has a low sperm count or is it always better? I don't want to be doing this wrong and lower our chances! Lol.

If your DH has a normal sperm count, by all means, BD every day. The "every other day regimen" is more for couples where the man has a lower sperm count, so he can rebuild his supply in the off day. Of course, the every other day regimen is also good for the couples who just can't handle all the BDing involved with every day! =)

Good luck to you!
