As mentioned earlier, the whole point of tracking ovulation is to figure out when is the most optimal time to have sex to increase chances of conceiving. By using more than one of the ovulation tracking techniques, you can become more familiar with your body and know when you are ovulating. If you are not having sex during the time that you are ovulating it can make it difficult to get pregnant.
I would like to give a side note, sperm can live up to 5 days in the uterus but the longer the sperm is in there the weaker it becomes, till it finally dies off. On the flip side there is only a window of about 24-38 hours where the woman’s egg is viable for fertilization. So by knowing when you are about to ovulate it allows you and your husband to have the freshest sperm possible present in the uterus, giving the egg and the sperm the best chance to meet.
During the week of ovulation, a common misconception is that a couple needs to have sex every day in order to make sure they have had sex on the day of ovulation. This is actually something that can be harmful to fertility because it diminishes the potency of the man’s sperm. It has been suggested that a couple have sex every other day in order to help the sperm reservoir replenish.
One last thing that is very important is to compare the data that you have gathered over the month. If you are using a BBT chart it is easy record the data that is collected from the other techniques used, so you can have all that information in one place. This makes reviewing the data easy for you and for any doctor you may show it to.
