Over the course of our marriage, my husband and I had regular unprotected sex 3-4 times a week during all the times I was not fertile. Then when we were not trying, we used pullout. I have always been quite fortunate and had a pretty regular cycle so it was easy to manage this and we never got preggo accidentally (except for when we were taking chances we shouldn't have been.)
With my first son, he was an oopsie and only had unprotected sex 2x the day or two after my period ended but I ended up ovulating early and got pregnant, had to be a pretty long cutoff, at least 3 days because I'd just gotten off my period but at the same time I was not tracking ovulation in those days, just not having sex in the middle of the cycle, so I can't 100% say for sure how many days it was.
With my second son, we were trying but my husband changed his mind so we stopped BD, we thought in plenty of time, but again I did get pregnant and with at least 3 days' cutoff. I was much more savvy about my cycle then and we had definitely stopped BD 3-4 days before I ovulated.
With my third son, we were trying for Shettles cutoff and so we BD a few times and then my husband had to leave and I ovulated when he wasn't even at home LOL. Again, a cutoff 2-3 days and again, we had absolutely stopped BD 2-3 days before I ovulated.
With my 4th, I wasn't ovulating regularly due to breastfeeding and so we were just having unprotected sex regularly. I honestly do not know when I got him in relation to ovulation because I was not having my period, but I do remember having a few unprotected attempts.

DS1, we DTD every day for a week until I ovulated so pretty much 6 or 7 days in a row. DH was exhausted! LOL
DS2, we had an attempt on O-4, O-2 and O-1. For the most part we were DTD 3-4 times a week for a lot of my cycle.
DS3 was one attempt at pos OPK so O-2. We were really only DTD every four days, sometimes less often than that.'12

With my first son we had sex every day, sometimes twice. Don’t know when I actually ovulated though, but according to the first ultrsounds it must have been earlier than I thought.
With my second I was tracking temperature, so I attach my „curve“, as we say in German.
S+ means EWCM, a heart means dtd, and my opk was positive on CD15 and a little less on CD 16 again.
We were both sick, so maybe the temperature serge was also due to the fever)
Hope this helps, wishing you blue dust!

I also have to add that I have been very obsessive to get pregnant, like „Hey darling, today we HAVE to have sex, okay?!!“ even we both have been sick with fever and stomach ache as mentioned.
It was the 4th month we were ttc and I was veeeeery stressed. Often we have been soooo tired but I nearly „forced“ him into bed.
My hubby didn’t like this at all but I couln‘t change it..
