What is the best day to dtd?

I keep seeing different information the more I read up on it. Some say it’s 2 days before, some say 1 (or day of LH peak), some say ovulation or even the day after that. If someone could share their experience or advice on that, it would be very helpful x

It’s not an exact science, but ideally you want to dtd before you ovulate so sperm is waiting for the egg. You’re unlikely to get pregnant after you ovulate but because it’s hard to point point exactly when you ovulate, it is recommended that you dtd for a couple days afterwards

@DS thank you for replying! My husband works shifts, so it can be tricky to align schedules. If I get a peak late pm, would dtd next day be enough or should we just try and do it every day of the fertile window regardless of peak if we can’t be sure we can dtd right before ovulation? x

I did the deed a few times the day of my peak and then again the next day which was the day I ovulated and got my positive this cycle! I truly believe these 2 days are crucial for conceiving, but it can be different for everyone! X

@Jenny thanks, it’s just not so simple For me to know whether myself or my husband will be available on short notice when I get a sudden surge, so I was trying to find other ways to time it. It’s a bit easier to dtd once you get the peak so you know for sure but your approach is obvs much more productive haha and congrats on the bfp! Wishing you a healthy and happy 9 months 🥳☺️
