My fertility specialist recommends every other day. Specifically she says to have intercourse on the day you get a positive ovulation test, then again 2 days later.
When men donate sperm they won’t let them donate too close together (or have sex within a a couple days of donation) to make sure the sperm count is adequately high, so I’d think it would be better to not do it every day.
Im one of those people who concieves practically the first time I have unprotected sex, haha! But I know it is recommended that you ‘do the deed’ every other day.

If I only had time/energy for everyday or every other day! Haha. But I have also heard that every other day is what “they” recommend.
However, from a medical stand point, I think that the more you have intercourse, the more likely you are to get pregnant. I think probability and statistics applies to conception as well. It is not possible for your partner to “run out of sperm” if that is what you are worried about. And waiting a few days doesn’t allow the sperm to “build back up.”
Ovulation is the most fertile period during your cycle and should be when you try to conceive. During this time, you should be having intercourse AT LEAST every couple of days but everyday is even more likely to show results, in my opinion.
Thanks all! My window is almost over…according to my charting, I should ovulate tomorrow. So far we’ve been doing it every other day, and it’s a bit tiring, but also pretty fun ;). Maybe we’ll even try 3 days in a row since I’m down to the wire. First month TTC, so I’m not expecting much…but anything could happen
