A member asked:

My husband and i r tcc. if we ttc before i'm suppose to ovulate does it mess with my ovulation?

No: Ttc does not affect ovulation. In fact, you need to ttc before ovulation to get pregnant. Sex after ovulation will not succeed. Best wishes.

No: Having intercourse prior to ovulation will not interfere with you trying to conceive.
