how often should we be having sex?
| Wed, 08-13-2003 - 9:30am |
my husband and i are trying to conceive baby number two. number one was not planned, so i am not sure about planning for number two. i have heard to have sex every other day while ovulating, however, i have also heard every other day. does anyone have any ideas?

The best time to BD apart from every other day from beginning of cycle to the end for good measure, although it sounds great, can sometimes be very tiring.
My suggestion to you would be to start BD'ing a couple of days before you normally O (so if you cycle is pretty steady at 28 then start BD'ing on CD10 or CD11) right through until a few days after. If you aren't sure you O'd and you don't chart, then carry through with every other day until about 1 week before AF is supposed to show. If you happen to miss one of the every other days don't worry as sperm can stay fertile in your for up to 5 days in great CM, although chances are better if it is every other day from CD 10-CD16.
Let us know how it goes.
