My husband and I are trying to conceive our baby. We want to know if there are specific ways or tips to have sex that might increase our chances. How can we optimize sex for conception?
My kid is a toddler now, but I remember how stressful trying to conceive was! My best advice is to stop overthinking positions and just enjoy the process with your partner on your fertile days. Stress actually delays conception, so take a deep breath.
My doctor explained that the best way is to track your ovulation cycle and have intercourse during your five-day fertile window. Gynac said alternate days are actually better than daily to maintain good sperm count. Just lie down for 10-15 minutes after sex to help.
Beta, tracking your ovulation days is very important, usually 12 to 14 days after your period starts. Eat healthy home-cooked meals, avoid outside food, and drink warm milk with a little saffron. Most importantly, keep your mind calm and stress-free.
Honestly, even I am planning right now and tracking my fertile window using ovulation strips! It's best to have intercourse every alternate day during your fertile week so you don't miss the egg. Good luck to both of us!
Tracking ovulation is key, but also get your basic blood work like thyroid levels checked. I was trying for months without knowing my thyroid was high, and once I started my medication as per doctor's advice, I conceived soon after.
