Patient's question:
I have frequent sexual activity with my wife, but we haven't been able to conceive for several months. Is it true that the more we have sex, the higher the chances of getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:Hello, it is not simple to assume that the more times one has sexual intercourse, the higher or lower the chances of pregnancy. Normally, only one egg is released during each menstrual cycle, although in rare cases, two eggs may be released at once. The day of ovulation is usually 14 days before the next menstrual period. Therefore, the chances of pregnancy are highest only during the ovulation period, especially on the day of ovulation and the two days before and after it. Intercourse outside the ovulation period will not lead to pregnancy.
Suggestions:
Additionally, frequent sexual activity can degrade the quality of semen and sperm, which in turn directly affects the success rate of pregnancy. Therefore, if you want to get pregnant, it is recommended to arrange intercourse around the day of ovulation, preferably every other day.
