Hello! Me and my husband are trying to conceive for almost a year. I don't know if there is something wrong or we did't have intercourse in the right time. I don't know what is better, to have intercourse as often we can or have a day off. I heard a lot of different advices.
The couple may be advised to have sexual intercourse more often. Sex two to three times per week may improve fertility if the frequency was less than this. Some fertility experts warn that too-frequent sex can lower the quality and concentration of sperm. Male sperm can survive inside the female for up to 72 hours, while an egg can be fertilized for up to 24 hours after ovulation.
Even doctors can't agree what is better. Some are sure that you must have intercourse more often. Some say that is better to have pause because sperm has better quality. I think it's different with each case. If you didn't succeed yet, try to change your way.
Thank you ladies. I think we will change our method and wait for some time. If it doesn't work we will go to the doctor.
You have to know your body. You must learn when you ovulate and do you ovulate at all. A few days before that you can practice intercourse more often. Some doctors are sure that it's better to have a pause one day before that to let sperm recover and have higher quality.
Hey there Stella! I hope you are doing good. During the wait before ovulation, it's better to ejaculate every 2-3 days, because it results in good sperm counts. Some fertility doctors also recommend having sex every other day around the time of mid-cycle. Your chances of conception are more when you have intercourse many times in your fertile window. But sperm count decreases with high intercourse frequency.
There is a lot of advices because there are a lot of angels to this. You can say that 2 times a day is waaay to much... Also you could say that it is enough. Some can go as far as to say that it is not enough. Especially when you are TTC, you know! However what matters is that you have intercourse when you are fertile. As you know women are fertile for a certain period of time during a month. It is important that you baby dance during that period. Other than that... You can do it for passion or desire but it won't make much of a change. The amount of time doesn't matter. If the intercourse is 5 or freaking 50 minutes it doesn't matter. Do whatever satesfies you and your man. I wish you found this helpful. Hope tha things get sorted out very soon. God bless you dear.
There are many factors which affect your probability of pregnancy. Your age, medical conditions, health, lifestyle and other factors all affect your likelihood of conceiving each cycle. You have varying degrees of control over many of these factors. The number one most important factor affecting your chances of conceiving, however, is something that you and your partner can control: the timing and frequency of intercourse in your fertile window. There has been some speculation that couples who are trying to conceive should reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse during the fertile window to increase sperm supply. This is not true for most couples. While couples with known male factor issues should consult their doctor for the best intercourse strategy, couples with normal fertility and no known sperm issues should not reduce the frequency of intercourse in the fertile window. Your probability of conception is increased when you have intercourse multiple times in your fertile window. While it is true that sperm concentrations decrease slightly with increasing intercourse frequency, frequent intercourse is still more likely to result in conception than infrequent intercourse for couples with no male factor fertility issues. Each additional act of intercourse within your fertile window increases your probability of conception for that cycle. After 35, a woman is labeled "advanced maternal age." Even though that term makes us cringe. Since when is 35 old??? The chances of conceiving start dipping around that age. A woman's egg supply decreases over time, particularly after age 35. If you haven't conceived after half a year, see a fertility specialist called a reproductive endocrinologist (RE).
Hello honey! I think you should try to relax a little bit. Do not turn sex into routine though I know this is hard when you're desperately try to conceive a baby. Maybe you should go on a date or have a vacation somewhere in the countryside. Do something which makes both of you happy and brings happy memories. Do something romantic. I think it might help your husband to relax and fully enjoy making love. I wish you to get pregnant as soon as possible! Good luck!
