Now, I'm not saying this out of experience TTC. BUT, all the anecdotal evidence points to the idea that babies are more easily conceived when there's less pressure. I realize that tracking your fertility could be (and probably is) only a small part of your efforts to conceive, but try to relax and have fun with it.
That is to say, I completely understand wanting to make sure that you hit the right segment of days to have better chances, but really if you're not necessarily on those exact days and you want to do the baby dance, by all means don't stop and say no we can't I'm not ovulating...
Having sex every day won't deplete his sperm count by so much as to be detrimental to your efforts. In fact it can only increase them because, bearing with the math...
Say you haven't done it in a week. For simple numbers let's say that he has 1000 spermies in one load of semen. Doing it every day might mean he's got 700 spermies in every shot which granted, that's a significant decrease from 1000, but that's a difference between 1000 and 4900 spermies going after an egg in one week.
Make sense? of course having sex 5+ times a day might be a little excessive, but hey if that's what strikes your fancy, you'll get pregnant eventually.
