Question: Can having too much sex affect our chances of getting pregnant?
Answer: No. While many couples believe they have to save the man's ejaculate until the exact moment of ovulation, that's not true. In fact some couples become so obsessed with timing sex during ovulation that they actually hurt their chances of getting pregnant. Stressing over ovulation can wreak havoc on your cycle — not to mention your marriage!
It's a myth to think you should have less sex in order to conceive. All the evidence shows that the more you have sex, the better your chances of getting pregnant. In fact, having sex often ensures that the sperm in a man's ejaculate is as healthy as it can be. Storing it up can decrease its motility, so don't be tempted to put off intercourse until you ovulate, and don't abstain for more than seven days in a row. While it's true that the density of sperm in each ejaculate diminishes with frequent orgasms, all that really matters is that there is some sperm in the woman's fallopian tubes during the time of ovulation.

Was this worth the 5 points it took you to post? I'm sure that "FERDY" knows what you asked and what she posted, so why did you have to let her know again? What was the point of this question?
Hahaha. I just read the previous question, and the answer that Ferdy posted. Now I realize that this is not what you just posted at all.... Maybe you need to repost this question in a different way, so that people realize that you are making a statement to ferdie regarding adivice that another doctor gave to someone. The way it is right now, it looks like you are posting your question with her answer, and nothing more to it.
As far as what Ferdie says, she may or may not be a doctor, but what matters is that the advice that she gave you is what some doctors suggest. You have to realize that different doctors have different practices and different ways of looking at things and tell you to try different things. That's why you have to be comfortable with your doctor's judgement and choose to trust him or her with the issues that you are paying him or her to take care of. I have also heard that it is best to wait 3 days, but if your doctor told you to wait only one, your best bet is to listen to him/her, that's what he/she's being paid for.

Why did you repost your question and an answer from someone called Ferdy? Seems kind of silly and a waste.
