When should we be having sex?

Highly recommend the book taking charge of your fertility to understand the best timing and the reasons why. It was helpful to me even without doing any of the charting stuff.

All I know is that I counted 14 days, went for it and got pregnant all three times. Signed Fertile Myrtle.

Please consider yourself very lucky.

I'd add in an earlier session...day 12 seems like the best day. There's really no need to have sex 5 days in a row unless you want to (or would enjoy it). But I'd say try to get in a day 12 or 13 and a day 14. If you get in another one, great, but those should cover you pretty well. Good luck!

Took me five years to get pregnant….turns out the kits lie and you need to have sex sooner. Just do it every days from about day 10-15. You'll be pregnant in no time!

I agree with trying earlier, but have sex every day, and had no issues with concieving. But DH seems to have no problem with his sperm. I do try to give him at least 24 hour recovery lol.

PP here, I meant to say WE have sex every day. I wasn't necessarily directing you to!

That.We did it twice in an hour few days before,then I fell asleep(TMI) with the load, all pregnant 3 weeks later.

OP here - thanks everyone for the responses. I think that's been my problem too, those damn tests! I wonder if they aren't powerful enough to catch the slight changes in LH. Ugh...so frustrating. I have wasted months. Started day 10 this time. So we'll see...
