Timing Baby Making Intercourse

Timing Intercourse
Baby making intercourse should occur within the 3 days leading up to ovulation and possibly the day of 
ovulation for optimal chances of conceiving. 

Women who are using OPKs (ovulation predictor kits / tests) 
can time intercourse for when they receive a positive OPK result as ovulation typically occurs between 
24-36 hrs after the first positive OPK. 
Another indication that you may be in your fertile time is by observing your cervical fluid. If you are 
around your known or predicted ovulation / fertile time and watery or egg white cervical fluid is noticed 
it is recommended to have baby making intercourse to optimise your chances of conception. 
Fertile cervical fluid (watery and eggwhite) nourish the sperm while waiting for ovulation to occur. 
Most of a womans cycle the cervix is blocked with a mucous plug which prevents sperm from entering 
the cervix into the uterus. For a few days a month the cervical fluid becomes thinner (hence watery 
cervical fluid) which allows the sperm to pass through the cervix into the uterus.
Typically sperm should be already in the fallopian tubes waiting for the egg to be released for conception 
to occur. It is possible for conception to occur outside of these fertile days depending on the 
environment within the uterus and fallopian tubes for sperm to be nourished and survive longer.
