Trying to get pregnant
I'm trying to get pregnant. Is it better to have sex before ovulation, during ovulation or after? My first day of my last period was the 7 of this month ( February) would the 21 be the best day to have sex?
it can be any time before or at the time of ovulation.. our ovum is alive for only 24 to 30 hours but sperms are alive for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 7 days.. so any time close to ovulation.. after ovulation has a very short span but yes it too has a chance.. but i would suggest 21st is a very good time.. good luck.. hoping for the best..
Before during and after! Only 12-24 hours after tho. With absolute ideal conditions (lots of fertile cervical mucus) sperm can live 5-7 days in a woman's body. So start BDing (baby dancing) 7 days before you're supposed to O and every 2-3 days till just after you O. After that, it's just for the fun and enjoyment of it!
