Ways To Get Pregnant
2. how often you should be having intercourse to increase your chances of conceiving
Problem: One of the most important components of getting pregnant is knowing when you should be having intercourse to enable you to get pregnant.
you need to make sure you are having intercourse during your fertile window. That means the several days that are leading up to ovulation, and also the day after you ovulate. Assuming you have used one of the several methods to figure out when your fertile days are, you also need to know how often you should be having intercourse to increase your chances of conceiving.
Best way to do it :
Avoid 1: It is not a good idea to have intercourse several times a day in an effort to increase your conception odds. In fact, this can have the opposite effect. There will not be enough good quality sperm if the male partner ejaculates several times a day over the course of a few days.
Avoid 2: On the other extreme, it is also not a good idea to "save up the sperm" by waiting for the "fertile window" in hopes that you will then have alot of extra sperm to increase the chances of conceiving. This too, can have the opposite effect. The sperm supply needs to be flushed out to be kept fresh, so "saving it up" will cause a lot of sperm to be stale, and sluggish.
Try 1: to have intercourse either every day or every other day starting several days before you actually ovulate. The every day approach is slightly more favorable, but only if you are certain there are no issues with sperm count.
Try 2 best coverage: it might be best to vary this by trying every other day one month and every day another month just so you have all your bases covered. This way, if the sperm quality/count is not the best, you'll be doing the more favorable every other day approach as well.
