This video discusses the optimal timing and frequency of intercourse for maximizing the chances of conception. It differentiates between recommendations for fertility diagnostics (semen analysis) and for achieving pregnancy, highlighting the survival rates of sperm and the limited window of egg viability. The discussion also touches upon the biological timeline of sperm production.
The video recommends having sex every other day for conception. It specifically mentions that for maximizing pregnancy rates, having intercourse on days 9, 11, and 13 of a cycle, assuming ovulation on day 15, is optimal. It also notes that even having sex 5 days before ovulation can result in substantial pregnancy rates. The key is to "frontload" the sex, meaning having intercourse before ovulation occurs, rather than waiting until ovulation itself.
