The highest chance of getting pregnant comes on the day 2 days before ovulation followed by the day before and then the day of, per the AAP. As stated above, having sex too often can lower sperm count, and can also cause a lot of immature sperm to be released, and also waiting too long could cause a lot of dead sperm to be released. So the recommended frequency is every other day, and if not every 3 days.

U must atlist have 3 days before ovulation then same day u ovulate and after ovulation. Then u good with that. But if u want u can still have sex every other day. Until u get a bfp or until u see if ur period coming

Day before and the day after have sex.don't do all three days, bc it lowers the sperm count. Doing every other day gives you a better chance because it allows your, guys body time to recover.
