Be intimate often (at least 3x a week)

Be Intimate Often (at least 3x a week)
What is recommended by experts usually is, being intimate every other day or every two days, but to not let 5 days go pass between intimacy? Being intimate at least 3x a week is said to increase the chance of conception. 

 We decided to be intimate as much as we could, so we did not stick to every other day and then every day closer to ovulation. It just seems we keep missing our egg by trying to time it perfectly. The cycle I got pregnant with my second baby, we were intimate 12 times throughout my cycle and twice in one day. We did not give our egg an opportunity to get away!  

 Disclaimers: Intimacy every day is not something that is recommended for men with low sperm count or low stamina. For a man with low stamina or sperm count, you want them to be able to be intimate on fertile days, so don't burn them out before hand. * According to Web MD, "Although daily intercourse produced the highest pregnancy rate in one study, it may pose too much stress for some couples. The same study showed that having sex every other day produced nearly as good a pregnancy rate." To read more about how intimacy affects sperm, click here: How Intimacy Affects Sperm


Best Days for Conception

Some fertility literature indicates that the best time for conception is making sure to be intimate 1-3 days before you ovulate, such as Web MD, "Pregnancy is likely to occur with intercourse within the 3 days before ovulation. (I also recommend being intimate a few days after you ovulate, in case you ovulate later than you think.) Very Well's article  Getting Pregnant After 35 cites a study, For younger and slightly older women, two days before ovulation was their most fertile day.
 According to Steady Health, "Women are most fertile: 5 days before ovulation, the day of ovulation, and with fertility peaking 2 days prior to the day of ovulation.
Best Time of Day for Intimacy
It is also suggested the best time to be intimate according to some couples is in the mornings because sperm is supposedly more mobile and active. To read more about this click here: Best Time for Intimacy.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...
