When Ovulating, is there a "best" time of day for intercourse?

Hi Meghan,

Sperm live in the reproductive tract easily for about two days and up to 3 and I usually like to say I'd rather have the sperm there waiting for the egg to come out of the ovary. This is why we say your most fertile days usually include the 2 days before ovulation, so long as intercourse took place during this time, you should be Ok.

Great question Meghan Kopp!!!!!!!!!!!!

THe egg white discharge comes 2-3 days before ovulation. U are most fertile 3-4 days before ovulation, day of ovulation and the next. After that the egg disintegrates if not fertilized and no more chances for that month..Good Luck

hi hopeN i want to ask you something regarding what you have commented about the egg white discharge

Hi Tina is there any question i can help you with??

yes.please i have been planning since 2 months. can you tell me when should i do sex? i know that 10th to 18 th day are favourable so do i need to do sex on alternate days that time? usually how long does it take to get pregnant?

andrea please help

There is no exact time frame for getting pregnant. Most doc say 6 months to a year of really TTC. Some women are lucky and they get pregnant faster then others. Just make sure u have sex every ohter night up until ovulation and then the night that u ovulate and the next night. Hope this helps!

Hi Tina,

Sorry i was working thats why it has taken me so long to respond. What Katie has said is right you will need to figure out when you ovulate use a opk these are very good to help determine when ovulation is about to occur then from cd8 bd every second night until you get a +opk then bd for two nights in a row skip a night and then bd again the night after i hope this helps you..

i would suggest having sex when you see your lh surge,then 12 hours after you found the surge and then once more at 36 hours after the surge.
