For couples trying to conceive, timing of intercourse plays a significant role. Ovulation usually occurs around the mid-cycle, typically between day 10 and day 14 of a regular menstrual cycle. This is the most fertile window, and couples are generally advised to have intercourse during this period to maximize the chances of conception.
After ovulation, the luteal phase begins. During this phase, the fertilized egg, if conception has occurred it travels to the uterus for implantation. At this point, excessive or poorly timed intercourse does not enhance conception and, in some cases, may interfere with implantation. Healthcare professionals often advise moderation after ovulation, allowing the body to support early implantation and stable hormone balance.
Always consult your fertility specialist for personalized guidance, as recommendations may vary based on individual medical history and fertility treatment plans.
