Everyday or every other day?

Question

When trying to conceive is it better to have sex everyday or every other day? Any suggestions?

ttc for 7 months.

Answer 1

When my hubby and I were trying our doc told us to figure out when the next period is due... count fourteen days before that then count two days before that and two days after, have sex the two days before, on the 14 days before, and the two days after. He said that should do it and it did. so for example, if your 14 days before lands on a wed, that mon, wed, and fri should do it. Hope ya get some luck!

Timing is everything. Sperm can live for two to three days, but the egg is around for only 12 to 24 hours. To increase the likelihood of conception, it's important to have intercourse more than once around the time of ovulation. It is a good idea to have sex one to two days before ovulation and again on the day you ovulate. That way, there's more likely to be a healthy supply of sperm waiting in the fallopian tube when an egg is released.

Of course, exactly when a woman ovulates isn't altogether clear. It all depends on the length of your menstrual cycle. A woman typically ovulates about 14 days before her next period — not mid-cycle, as is commonly held. If you have a 28-day cycle, which is the average, then you would ovulate halfway through your cycle. But if you have a 35-day cycle, you would ovulate around day 21, not day 17.

Every other day at most. You need to give time for the sperm to build up a bit. I would say .. once every 3 to 4 days. No hot showers or hot baths for the guy either .. it will reduce his sperm count. Good Luck ! :)

Answer 4

I've always heard every other day, to allow for the supply to be replenished!
