Are we having too much sex to concieve?

Question

Me and my husband have been trying to concieve for a couple of months. We've been having sex at least 2 or 3 times a day, everyday. Is this too much sex, if yes, how much is optimal? Any advice would help.

Answer 1

No such thing as too much sex to get pregnant.

Answer 2

I'm going to assume that both you and your husband have been checked out by a doctor and there are no problems? If not, the first thing you need to do is for the both of you to get physicals.

Although it sounds like a whole lot of fun...I'm sure sex has become more than a little routine, right? As well, your husband isn't exactly getting a chance to build up his 'store of soldiers', so probably what you're getting is mostly fluid and no swimmers.

I tried for 3 years to get pregnant...we had sex every day, sometime's twice....and nothing. We did a little research and began a 'get pregnant' campaign that my relatives still tease me about....yes, it sucked the romance out of it but we wanted to start a family so bad it didn't matter. Besides not everybody is lucky enough to be able to conceive whenever their husband drops his pants....

Here's what we did:

This of course, is dependent on you knowing when you ovulate..so if you haven't started tracking your cycles, then please start doing so.

Try limiting sex to 'recreation' for most of the month (aka when the mood strikes you) and then during the 4 or 5 days before you ovulate and 4 or 5 days afterwards....go for it with a vengenance.
Act like rabbits, monkeys or whatever strikes your fancy.

After the plan went into effect, I was pregnant within 4 months....there's no guarantees it'll work for you....but I know when people are desparate, they'll try anything (within reason, I hope!)

Good Luck!

Answer 3

There is the potiential that your body will become immune to his sperm. Rare but possible. A couple of months trying is not a very long time. See your body has to be the right pH, you have to be ovulating and depending upon your age your body may just be getting ready to concieve. If you have been on birthcontrol that also takes a significant amount of time to get out of your system. Also I don't know where you live but where I live it has been really hot and heat in the man crotch area is not good for the sperm either. Suggestions if he is wearing whitie tighties get rid of those for the summer and make sure he isn't wearing tight pants. Nothing restricting in that area. If he has been restricted give it a couple of days for those little swimmers to get active again. Just be patient.

Answer 4

There's been some debate on that. Some believe that you should have sex every other day in order to conceive, because you save up semen. But others are now believing that waiting could make for less viable sperm, and thus once a day would be better. Really, unless he has an infertile rating sperm count, I think it doesn't matter. Remember that some people who have no fertility problems don't conceive for a year. Most who are trying won't conceive for 3-6 months. For better chances, try using Pre-Seed lubricant.

Answer 5

You guys might want to space it out a little if you're trying to conceive. His sperm can only be produced at a certain rate and at the rate you're going, he's not going to have enough special swimmers in each ejaculate to make each attempt to impregnate you count. Try spacing it out 2-3 days and only once on that day. His ejaculate should contain a much higher concentrate of sperm and you should have better luck getting pregnate. Also, if he's wearing boxer briefs or tighty whities, tell him to switch to boxers until you conceive. The boys will be able to get the cool air they need to maintain optimum sperm level (briefs press the boys against his body and raise the temperature of the testicles to a level that can kill sperm).

Answer 6

for agirl have quite some sex over the 5 days you're extra fertile(many times 14 days after your era and count number 5 days)for a boy only have sex 12 hours before ovulation and under no circumstances better than 12 hours after,that is what i stumbled on out doing quite some analyze,dont comprehend if its genuine so good success

Answer 7

If you have very frequent sex - the number of sperm per ejeculate decreases - because of the frequency.
If you have sex less frequently - each ejeculate will have a higher number of sperm and increase the chances of conception.
If you ovulate regularly, you might want NOT to have sex for a couple of days before you're due to ovulate. That way the numbers will be higher.

Answer 8

That is way too much if you are seriously trying to conceive. The more often you have sex, the less potent your husband's sperm is. It is actually recommended during your fertile time to have sex once a day every other day. That will give him time to build back up his sperm count.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Usually, the advice on trying to conceive is to have sex once every other day, so that there is adequate sperm count with each ejaculation. You should also try to have sex to the day prior to your ovulation to optimize your chances.

Good luck.

Answer 10

You need to let his sperm count build up.
Approximately fourteen days after your period starts is when you'll be in your prime, so refrain from sex for a couple days before that, and you should be able to concieve.

Answer 11

You have to allow the man some time to make sperm. The best way is to have sex every other day so he can make some strong swimmers. Too much sex makes too few of the strong swimmers.
