How often to have intercourse when trying to conceive?
My husband and I are trying to conceive, and we're wondering about the best frequency for intercourse. How often should we be having intercourse when we are trying to conceive to maximize our chances?
Don't make it a chore, dear. Having intercourse every alternate day during your mid-cycle is more than enough to conceive. Doing it daily can actually decrease sperm count and stress you both out.
During our pre-conception consult at the hospital, the doctor clearly explained that having intercourse every alternate day during your fertile window is ideal. You can ask your clinic's fertility counselor to help you track ovulation accurately so you don't feel overwhelmed.
Every alternate day is very good when you are trying to conceive. This keeps things natural and stress-free for both of you. God bless you with good news soon.
Looking back, I realize we stressed way too much about timing. Having intercourse every 2 days around your ovulation day is the best approach. Keep the romance alive and don't let it become a mechanical task.
Hey! Practically, having intercourse every 24 to 48 hours during your fertile week is perfect. No need to do it multiple times a day as that doesn't help. Just track your ovulation and keep it relaxed.
