TTC questions

I’ve been off birth control for at least 1 year and a half. My husband and I were avoiding pregnancy for a year since we were engaged and not ready for a baby. Now I am ready (he is too but a little nervous). We sorta tried for 1 Cycle but then took a break because of Covid-19.

So technically should I count this as cycle two of trying or should I start over and call this cycle one?

TMI question but how often do you guys have sex when trying to conceive and when do you start “trying” in your cycle?

Thanks!
