Hi, good luck on ttc. I am ttc also. From what I have learned online, even if you have sex every day , or during ovulation, a normal couple still only has a 25% chance of getting pregnant in any given month. Ttc for a year is considered well within a normal time frame. But here are some tips I have learned;

taking robitussin (otc) during ovulation will thin out cervical mucas making it easier for sperm to swim

lying down or with a pillow to elevate your pelvis will also help, so that no sperm leaks out

sperm can live for up to 3 days so sex multiple times a day are not necessary.

Every other day is a good strategy b/c sperm will be more potent
ask him not to masterbate in between, as this will defeat the purpose.

Smoking from either partner can decrease fertility up to 50%

taking prenatal vitamins or at least .4mg of folic acid is a good idea 2-3 months before getting pregnant. That doesnt have anything to do with getting pregnant itself, just is good for baby's health.

Also a pre-pregnancy check up is a good idea to rule out any potential problems or diseases



also you are young so that is in your favor for ttc, but if you concerned about your ability to concieve you may want to check with your doctor if:

-you have irregular cycles
-have suffered a pregnancy loss
-have used iud
-experience painful menstral periods
-have had a pelvic infection or had abdominal surgery

lots of baby dust to you***********

Oh one more thing, your doctor may ask you to wait a couple months after taking birth control pills before ttc.

And dont let him pull out! :)

Having sex 2-3 times a day is actually counterproductive. It is only nessacary to have sex every other day and is recommended other whise u are using up his sperm supply and not allowing it time to build back up and basicly everytime u have sex it is with a low sperm count then. So way to go on having sex that often but during ur ovalation time slow down on how much u have sex :wink:

Even though we have sex more than once a day, there is still always some kind of sprem going in whether pre-cum or not. So isnt there still chances even if theres not a lot?

yes theres a chance, but not a very big one. You'd be better to at least cut back to once a day during ur ovalation time. Try charting ur basal temp, cervical mucus, ovalution predictor tests (which predict ur lh surge) ect.. Then u will know when u are supposed to be ovalating so u only have to have sex less at that time :wink:
