Let’s Talk About Sex!

When is the best time to have sex to make a baby?

Now I’ve got your attention! Let’s talk about it, here are a few interesting facts for you. You ovulate for around 12 - 24 hours, which is such a small window of time to get pregnant. Also, if you are trying to conceive and are using ovulation test strips you have to get on it pretty quickly. Once you get the LH surge you only have a small amount of time within the ovulation window to get pregnant.

Did you know that sperm can stay alive inside the vagina for 5 days? So the best time to have sex is before ovulation, as those lively sperm can hang around for ovulation to happen. So if you aim to have sex a couple of times the week before you think you are ovulating you’ll have sperm already waiting to go!

This can really help improve your chances of conception, as I often find people are leaving it too late to have sex and missing out on that cycle.
