I read that it's best for sperm to "build up" so if you have sex everyday it loses its quality. Don't know if this is correct or not
Every other day or as close to during the most fertile window. What are you using to know when you're ovulating and the fertile period is? If it's just based on your cycle rather than test strips or basal body temperature then you might ovulate early or late without knowing. I could never judge it based on symptoms alone so used easy@home test strips, the premom app and one month (because they're fairly expensive for every month) used a femsense bbt patch to double check.
@Carys the flo app!! X
I don't know that one very well, but is it using your periods and cycle length to give your fertile window? I had 3 apps in the end - Mia, which sounds like the Flo app. I'd used it as a period tracker for a few years so it knew my cycle well and gave me a 'fertile window' but that window was a few days out from the other 2 apps that used LH ovulation test results and BBT results to show exactly when I ovulated. - Premom, where I would take an ovulation test twice a day and use the app to scan/take a photo and it used the darkness of the test line to show the peak (I.e ovulation) then used that data to help make a more accurate fertile window the following month - Femsense, which allowed me to scan the BBT patch and show exactly when I ovulated, and like the Premom use that to get a more accurate fertile window. I'm not sure how long you've been ttc but a more accurate fertile window may help as you can focus your efforts on that time and pinpoint specific days to baby dance.
Every other day! As above, let sperm ‘build up’ so it’s better quality/stronger.

Sometimes it worse to count your days on when to have sex to conceive I know it’s stupid to hear and some will be against what I say but honestly having moments instead of counting helps as your not stressed or pushing your bodies too far. I tried to a kid a lot and when I stopped thinking about it I got caught pregnant right away. It was a shock but I realised the stress of trying was worse. I know age is a big thing and can impact but try to have moments and the time will come hopefully xx
Hi, we kept missing our window so decided to do it every other day and it worked! We had sex cycle day 8,10,12,14,16 x
