“Trying to get pregnant? Simple tips: Have sex 3-4days a week If your period is every 28days, Have sex on Day 12-16 of your cycle counting first day of your last period as Day1.

NEVER smoke. NO alcohol. TAKE folic acid 5mg every day. Pls RT. You may be saving someone’s marriage.

The real trick as a couple is to understand the menstrual cycle (how far apart the periods are) for the woman. As long as the period dates are regular, You can be sure that you release an egg (ovulation) around 12-16 days before your next period. So target that window for sex.

The egg released by a woman can only survive 24 hours or so- and then it’s gone. Thankfully a man’s sperm can survive in a woman for up to 120 hours (5days). So the advice is to start having sex from Day12 all through to Day16 of your menstrual cycle to target the egg release.
