Is more sex better?

As part of my early pregnancy reading I've just started this book, which is about busting the myths around conception, pregnancy and childbirth, and looking at the actual facts and evidence. The first few chapters are about ttc, and she looks at the facts around how many times you should be having sex in your fertile window. She discusses a number of studies that show that having sex every day does not increase your chance of conceiving - in fact those who have sex every day have the exact same chances of conceiving as those who have sex every 2 days or every 3 days, covering their fertile window. Just wanted to share because I see this question pop up a lot and it's nice to look at the science behind it. I also really recommend the book, so far it's great.

I only had sex once a day for 3 days and fell pregnant so agree completely.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve went with every 2 days around my fertile window. It seems overkill to do it every day when sperm can survive inside you for a couple of days too.

@Ele38 me too, fell pregnant once we switched from every day to every other day!
