A member asked:

Dr which one is better if on ttc, in fertile days sex daily or on alternate days ?? i have cyst and this month opk is positive

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both work: There will be a higher concentration of sperm every other day but either will work. It does only take 1. Don't try more than every day because the production of sperm can't keep up! Good luck.

Fertility. They say a man with low count should have sex every other day when TTC to re-boost their count. If a man has sex 2x in one day will it still rebuild enough for the every other day method to work or do you need more time inbetween than?
