I just need some advice sorry for all the questions. I want to know… [name_m]How[/name_m] often should you have sex when trying for a baby? I have heard you shouldn’t have too much sex. Is that true?
My ovulation app says I am ovulating on day 12 every month. Normally its a tad out. I notice some small pains and discharge around day 10 (i have been tracking my symptoms)
When should i be trying? A couple days before and everyday until the day after ovulation day? Also how often?
My doctor recommended every second day for the healthiest sperm; start 7 days before ovulation until a day or two after expected ovulation incase you were ovulating later.
Most doctors recommend every other day from just after the end of your period to just before the start of your next cycle. The ovulation apps are purely predictions; however, day 12 is pretty standard accurate. Generally the vaginal discharge is the greatest the day of ovulation.
Are you in the US? I used ovulation tests from Dollar Tree and it worked like a charm. Also worked for the next two people in line that I gave the extras to. Guess it was luck, but it did work to tell me when I was ovulating. I can’t imagine an app would be able to be that accurate. Not everyone has textbook ovulation and tracking symptoms could be unclear because our bodies can have similar feelings for many different reasons. Once I found out I was ovulating from the tests, I continued to test and made sure we had sex the days it said I was still ovulating. Also read at that time that female orgasm helped the odds, and even if it’s not true it will still be fun for you!
I’ve had many, many friends recommend the book Taking Control of Your Fertility by [name_f]Toni[/name_f] Weschler. Apparently it’s pretty much the “bible” of getting pregnant and has everything you need to know. [name_m]Just[/name_m] wanted to put it out there so you know. Good luck to you!
My doctor recommended every day around the time I am ovulating and then every second day a week before and after. If I do get a period we don’t have sex but my doctor recommended my partner ejaculate another way around mid-end so day 4-ish of my period as the longer he waits between ejaculations the motility of the sperm actually decreases. And sperm motility is one of the most important aspects for conception.
I also heard that the motility of sperm decreases so the more often the better! I’d say go if it most days and aim for at least every other day regardless of what the ovulation test tells you as they can be wrong sometimes. I think that once an egg is released you only have 24-48hrs to fertilise it.

wish me luck xx
