First, I'm surprised that your Dr. said you should be ovulating on day#11 of a 31-day cycle. While that's possible, you should try taking your basal body temperatures for a few cycles to determine your ovulation day. (I have a 30-day cycle and ovulate on day#17!!) Determining that ovulation day is very important. Unless your Dr. did some blood tests to look for your LH surge, I'm not sure how she determined that day. "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" is a great book to read to help understand your body's cycle.
Second, the timed intercourse should be planned around your ovulation day, so you need that date! Still, I'm surprised that your Dr. didn't recommend an every-other-day regimen until day#18. She's right about the reduction in sperm count for every-day intercourse, but it'd be great if she would get a test for your partner's sperm count, so you could rule this factor out.
Third, I got pregnant for my first child at 36, so if you are as young as I think you are, it really is okay for this to take some time. Remember to have fun doing fun things with your friends & your husband. Doing things you enjoy might help ease a little stress.
Lots of luck!!

Relax... Let nature take its course. Chances are with every month that goes by you get more and more stressed which only makes it harder to get pregnant. Your doctor is right you should try for 6 months "supervised" before rushing into infertility treatments as they too has negative side effects.
Honestly I know several couple like yourself and when they stopped trying it happened. A few of them did have luck with a home remedy of taking Robitussin before having sex a few nights. It has a calming factor to it.
No matter what "Let God and Let Go" That is the best medicine out there.

I would wait a little longer before trying anything different. Try the schedule that your dr. gave you. That's what you're paying her for. I was in a similar situation myself. I miscarried 3 times before I was able to give birth to my daughter. I didn't have a problem getting pg, I just couldn't stay that way. After i miscarried the 2nd time, we found out that my mom (who was 44) was pg. I was devestated. Just hang in there. Good luck.

i had the same problems. first u need to get to know your cycle. if it is regular and so on. ovulation is usually about 2 weeks after your period STARTS, most ppl seem to think it is after it ends. the sexschedule deal is hard to stick by, they told us important thing is that u stay on your back and if possible elevate legs a bit, tip for him is wearing boxers, it really helps. also have him get tested on spermcount............... what helped us was a fertility drug called clomid 50, it helped me to get pregnant with the first child and yes it was only 1 not multiples, and it was like a jumpstart for my body, cos after2 daughtertrying to hard or taking any fertility drugs
GOOD LUCK

Stressing is not going to help...I was told that after a year of trying you should seek help./ Testing for one to be sure that you are ovulating...and if you aren't start a fertility drug.

just have sex every day and dont worry about getting pregnant or not (just call it practicing). i got pregnant the day my period ended, so maybe you're just focusing on the wrong days (which is why you should just try every day)

i agree with Sanalota, i think you should not hurry the nature, but relax and, well... just do it and not push yourselves mentally. and the nature will eventually make it all ok. :)
