Shall We Baby Dance?

All About Sex When You're Trying to Conceive

By Teri Brown

Pages:  1  2  3  

Pinpointing ovulation is more key than worrying about which sexual positions you choose. Dr. Hickok says that it is also important for couples to remember that fertility therapy often takes the spontaneity out of a couple's sexual relationship, and they need to be guarded about allowing the therapy to ruin what should be a pleasurable experience.

Keeping Baby Sex Enjoyable
No one wants their sex life to become a chore, but that can happen when the focus is on the outcome rather than the process. While having sex daily during the right time in the cycle isn't detrimental to conception, it can play havoc on a couple's enjoyment. Every other day is still effective and keeps the sex from becoming rote. Remember to slow down and enjoy one another. Try to make it romantic by changing the setting or the routine. Baby sex should add to a couple's love and appreciation, not detract from it.

preconceptionTips for Conception Sex

Best-Boss recommends the following tips for great conception sex:

  1. Avoid lubricants. They can damage the sperm. (Even saliva can slow the critters down.) If it's absolutely necessary, use water-based lubes (and not spit). Avoid oral sex given to the female. Underwater sex doesn't work either (of course, neither does anal sex).
  2. Enjoy it. Take your time during foreplay. Make love, not just a baby.
  3. Time it well. Know your ovulation signs.
  4. Don't overdo it. Aim for every other day instead of every day to allow sperm counts to recharge and hopefully chase some of the boredom away.
  5. Lie still afterwards. After sex, lie still in bed with your hips slightly elevated. Don't buy expensive props or contort yourself. Just stick a pillow under your butt for 20 minutes.
