Trying to get pregnant? More answers to your questions

Couples trying the “old-fashioned way” of conceiving often ask, “How often should we have sex to become pregnant?”

Our response is that having sex every 36-48 hours in the middle part of the women’s menstrual cycle is ideal. Couples that have sex five times a week get pregnant faster than those who have sex less often. Throw away the daily temperature charts and just have fun!  Taking a temperature every morning is also a lousy way to start the day. Have fun, go on dates, keep it as spontaneous as possible, remember why the two of you are together and don’t make creating a baby a second job!
