Husband and i are ready for our first baby. should we have sex every other day? period was from april 6th -10th. have normal 28 day cycle.

Enjoy this time: Nature is very good at helping you get pregnant. I would avoid the pressure of "trying" too hard. Just enjoy being together for a few months first and see what happens. Its a chance to go out more etc. I'd be surprised if nature doesn't solve the problem without your help. If you are in a hurry, get an ovulation test kit and you can directly target ovulation. Its not as fun but more precise

Conception optimum: By having sex every other day in order for the woman to conceive you achieve two goals: You optimize your chances to get pregnant, while giving the male partner a chance to produce sufficient sperm. After intercourse, male sperm survives for up to 5 days. Starting intercourse on day 6 or 7 of her cycle until day 16 will double/triple a woman's chance to conceive on the day she ovulates.
