have sex days before so the sperm is already there when you ovulate

Sperm can live for up to 3 days, so to better your chances I would try 3 days before and the day of ovulation.

You have a better chance of conceiving in the 3 days before ovulation.

The process seems to work better if sperm are already present when the egg is released. However, sperm REQUIRE fertile cervical fluid in order to survive until the ovulation.
I highly recommend charting your fertility signs. Your chart can tell you when you are fertile, when you are not, when you are ovulating, when to expect your next period, and when to suspect pregnancy. Your chart can also tell you if there are issues delaying conception or causing difficulty w/ carrying a pregnancy and if there are serious issues which need a doc's attention.
Some good sources for charting your fertility signs: Fertilityfriend.com (free software as well as a pay-for version and on-line charting turorial); ovusoft.com (discussion boards for many fertility related issues, much info on fertility after the pill, and a very good software for purchase). The books Taking Charge of Your Fertility (associated w/ the the ovusoft website and software), The Art of Natural Family Planning, and Garden of Fertility

A few days before, depends on your cycle, day 15 -18 from the first day of menses. Read webmd for more info. Sperm lives for 3 days as long as LH fluid is in the cervix.
