Chances of Conception !! wow.

[Elle'sMumy]

Well, searching through google, as you do, i came accross this very interesting article, just thought id share ;;
Researchers found that couples who had sex every day had a 25% chance of conceiving, while couples who had sex every other day had a 22% chance. Once-a-week sex drops the chances of conceiving to 10%. So, if you want to get pregnant in the most time-efficient manner, sex-every-other-day will help you get the job done while leaving you time to clean the refrigerator. On the other hand, if you have plenty of time and energy, you can raise your chances of conceiving by 3% if you want to make a nightly date with your partner. Once you’re pregnant, you can claim nausea and let him clean the fridge.




I dont know if any of you are about the same cycle as me, but just wondering if small scratching feeling on the inside of the front of your stomach is normal at about 5dpo? thankyou x

Well, my OH and I were having sex about once every six months when we conceived...

Interesting statistic though, particularly as it contrasts with the advice given on This Morning (?) on the other thread? Didn't that guy say that twice a week throughout the cycle was best?

Maybe they just don't have a clue!

Good luck to all TTC xxx

In fairness, the expert on the TV was saying that if you BD'd 2-3 times a week you would have your bases covered for when you ovulated based on the fact that sperm can live for 5-6 days in fertile conditions.

I think what he was saying was just have regular sex

There's always going to be exceptions, those lucky few who get pregnant after one night of BD in the month etc...
