I forgot how to TTC

[Anonymous]

I've been pregnant twice - one mc and one toddler. This is our first month of TTC #2. Can't believe I'm asking this but it's anonymous so here goes .. Should I stay lying down after sex? hips up? are any positions more conducive than others? Should we do it every day or every other day around O time? I honestly don't remember what happened the first two times! Clearly pregnancy can happen in all kinds of situations but I'd like to up our chances. Thanks!

My husband swears doing it "Doggy Style" is what worked for our first.

His theory did not work last month.

My OB told me to have sex every other day around ovulation so that the sperm have time to rebuild their supply.

I'll let you know what my RE says next week.

Every other day from the day your period ends until a week before it starts, if you have a 28 day cycle.

No need to stay lying down, though it can't hurt.

OP here - thanks all. I did conceive my first two times on the first try so I'm hoping to get lucky again. I use the smiley face OPK - if it's not positive I guess we'll do it anyway to keep bases covered. I have a very regular 30-31 day cycle so I can't imagine the day after my period ends would result in a baby, but who knows?

To be fair to the poster you're quoting I've heard that too. I think it's a getting-closer-to-the-cervix thing or something.

After months of doing it every other day we finally conceived by doing it every day starting two days before a + opk, the day of and for two days after.

I don't know about the lying down, hips up thing. I did it last time but want to avoid it this time if possible. It's so embarrassing and to the extent that TTC kills the mood in a marriage I think the legs up ridiculousness really puts the last nail in the coffin....
