I really do not understand those who ascribe to the whole “timed intercourse” schtick and then wonder why they are having difficulty TTC.

If you are serious about TTC, just be practical, cover your bases, and have intercourse all the time.

Why is that so difficult / hard for a married couple TTC?  It should be the norm.[/quote]

Did you struggle with infertility?  Because most people do not have the energy to have sex every day for a year?  And if you know anything about a woman's body, most days you are just physically impossible to get pregnant, so...[/quote]

The man’s sperm can survive inside for up to 5 days after sex.  And tests/ predictors and strips are often NOT accurate.

So this whole “timed intercourse” strategy is majorly flawed .  A prediction is just that:  only a prediction.

But whatever; you do you.  Limit your intercourse; good luck with that strategy.[/quote]

Wrong. They are very accurate, even the drugstore cheapies. The problem is women don’t know when to have sex. They usually think positive OPK/ovulating means start having sex, when in fact that means you’ve missed the window. That’s why you need to temp BBT for a few months plus use OPKs to see a pattern then have sex accordingly. Once you are 5 days out from predicted ovulation based on your pattern, you keep having sex every day until the day after you get a positive OPK. That’s really all there is to it, but most are ignorant of the process. The strips work just fine.[/quote]
