We've been trying for a few months now and nothing yet, getting a bit disheartened. Matlab is there a right number or timing in the month? Pls dont judge, just genuinely confused.
When I was trying, my mother always told me to stay relaxed and not make it feel like a chore. Having intercourse every other day during your fertile window is ideal. Just keep a happy home environment and don't take stress.
I completely panicked and thought we had to do it multiple times every single day to conceive! But later my doctor reassured me that doing it every alternate day during the fertile window is actually better for sperm quality. Once we relaxed, it happened naturally!
Rather than the number of times, it's about the timing! Having intercourse every alternate day during your fertile window (usually days 10 to 16 of your cycle) is the most effective way. Don't stress too much about daily attempts, every other day is perfect.
My mother-in-law advised keeping track of the lunar calendar, but my doctor gave the best practical advice. She said having intercourse every 2 days around your ovulation time is the key. Tracking your ovulation with simple kits is very helpful, dear.
It's not about doing it constantly, but tracking your fertile window gently. Since I faced a miscarriage earlier, I learned that keeping your body stress-free is the most important part of conceiving. Try to keep a gap of a day or two so it's comfortable and healthy for both.
For us, focusing on the ovulation days and having intercourse every alternate day worked wonders. Try not to stress about the count, just enjoy the connection with your partner. A positive mind really helps in conceiving!
Beta, don't rush or stress your body. Having physical closeness 2-3 times a week during the middle of your monthly cycle is more than enough. Eat healthy home-cooked meals, have warm milk with saffron, and keep your mind calm.
