Timing intercourse around ovulation can help optimize the chances of conception, as the ovulated egg is viable for approximately 24 hours.
Using ovulation predictor kits or monitoring your cycle can help you identify your fertile window.
Intercourse on the day of ovulation or in the days leading up to it is ideal. You may also have some chance of conception a day after ovulation.
Focus on making intimacy enjoyable and stress-free, rather than purely goal-oriented, as a relaxed approach may positively influence fertility.
By understanding your cycle and planning accordingly, you can increase the likelihood of conception while keeping the experience natural and pleasurable.
