Bringing back the pleasure of sex! 

If it’s taking you a while to conceive, sex can become a bit of a chore. After all, scheduling intercourse according to a calendar can start to resemble a work task. 

Studies show that the chances of conception are greater if a woman reaches orgasm [1], so it’s a good idea to make some room for romance and excitement.  

When sexual intercourse lacks authentic pleasure, both partners can start to feel the stress of it all and the overall perception of lovemaking can deteriorate. 

To improve things for the better, consider adding spontaneity back into your relationship. Persuade your partner to stop monitoring her ovulation. Avoid being intimate on a schedule and do it when you feel like it, allowing love and pleasure to be your main motivators. Chances are that this relaxed approach to sex will get you to your ultimate goal of becoming parents faster than rigorous planning.


Frequently asked questions

While ovulation calculators help identify fertile windows, relying on them exclusively can make sex feel scheduled and stressful. This approach may reduce sexual pleasure and spontaneity, which can negatively impact conception. Balance tracking with natural intimacy for best results.

Research suggests that female orgasm may increase conception chances by helping retain sperm through uterine contractions. While not essential for pregnancy, focusing on mutual pleasure rather than just timing can improve both intimacy and potentially fertility outcomes.

Use ovulation calculators as a general guide but don't let them dictate your entire sex life. Consider taking periodic breaks from tracking to maintain spontaneity and reduce stress, which can negatively impact fertility.

A balanced approach works best - use ovulation tracking as guidance but maintain regular, spontaneous intimacy throughout your cycle. Focus on pleasure, connection, and natural desire rather than strict scheduling to reduce stress and maintain relationship quality.
