I've heard that having sex every day isnt a safe option to try and get pregnant, any suggestions? If you have it every other day for a 2 week time span would that lessen the odds?

my doctor told me every other day was best so that sperm has a chance to build up.

It really depends on your fertile period and your husband's sperm count. If your really not sure, try every day! This is not unsafe whatsoever! Every day for two weeks is a little much, though. You actually need to chart your waking tempatures so you can pin-point when your going to ovulate. Also pay attention to your cervical mucus around this time. If you have sex everyday around your fertile period for a few months and have no luck, try to lessen to every other day. If still no luck, then you need to pin-point ovulation and hold off having sex for a week before. This will give your husbands sperm time to mature and hopefully increase his sperm count. If you haven't done so allready, I would suggest you ready the book Taking Control of your Fertility by Toni Weschler. This book goes into great detail about all of this information and about charting your waking tempatures. I beleive you will find it helpful and informative. Good luck!

Yeah, every other day is ok but make sure you don't immediately get up after sex. Try to keep all the sperm inside you and continue to lay down for like 30 minutes before you get up. So the semen can work it's way up your vagina and uterus. And if you use the bathroom afterwards, be careful about wiping away all the juices cause that's where the sperm is. Best of luck.

Once, every other day. Or just every other day. I would say it increases the odds because ovulation time usually runs from 24-48 hours, and if you have sex on only one of these days, then the sperm count will be abundant ad there will be ebough for you to conceive. Good luck.

Every other day is perfect!
Every day lowers the sperm count.
Your odds are not lessened because you have sex every other day. Sperm live 3 to 5 days in fertile conditions.

i have always heard every other day to every third day is better because it gives the male a chance to regenerate his soldiers. when you try every day you are going to lesson your chances rather than increase them like most people think.
