What you'll learn in this lesson: When is the best time for conception sex Why having sex every day, or only just before ovulation, is not a good idea How often should you be having sex

When Can Sex Lead to Pregnancy?  The ovum, or female egg, lives about 24 hours. Sperm are pretty hardy, though, and can live within the female reproductive system for up to five days. Theoretically, then, if you have sex five days before ovulation, you could get pregnant maybe, but not likely. The two days before ovulation are when sex is very likely to lead to pregnancy. We'll talk pinpointing these days in the next article in this series, but first, let's talk about whether or not you should only aim for the best days.

Ready, Aim, Fire Vs. Spreading the Wealth  There are a few problems with aiming only for your most fertile days. For one, sperm are healthier when sex happens regularly. Another advantage is the stress will be less. Predicting ovulation can be tricky. My suggestion? Track ovulation (if it doesn't stress you out too much), so you can have sex on the days that you are most likely to conceive, and also have frequent sex all month long, to keep sperm healthier and ensure you don't miss your chance. Plus, sex isn't just for making babies. Sex is also a way of connecting intimately with the love of your life. Sex is also good for your health and may reduce stress. All good reasons to enjoy it often!
