My husband and I are trying to conceive. I'm wondering if there's an optimal number of times to have intercourse to increase our chances. How many times should we try to conceive?
For us, we didn't follow any strict schedule or count the times. We just made sure to stay relaxed and let it happen naturally a few times a week. Within four months, I got my positive result, so keeping it stress-free really worked.
Don't turn it into a homework assignment! Having sex every alternate day around your ovulation is more than enough to do the trick. Save some energy for when the baby actually arrives and keeps you awake all night!
We are also trying to conceive now, and it gets a bit overwhelming to discuss. My friends told me that trying every alternate day during your fertile week is enough. It keeps things natural and less stressful for both partners.
Rather than focusing on the number of times, timing is what actually matters most. Having intercourse every 2 days during your ovulation window is medically recommended. You can consult your doctor to understand your cycle better.
I used to track everything like a project, having sex almost daily during my fertile window, but it made me so anxious. Now that I'm in my second trimester, I realize we were overdoing it. Did anyone else also feel super stressed during their trying phase?
