First of all, it is a good idea to work out a pre-conception plan. Most couples don’t have sex at the right time and frequency to achieve a pregnancy. Here are some tips. If your periods are regular (28 days from the start of one to the start of another), you should try to have regular intercourse, every other day, if possible, from Day 11 to Day 17. This is timed from the start of the first day of your last period. One week before this time of the month, both partners should get plenty of sleep and avoid intercourse altogether, until your reach Day 11.
