Yes it does.: It's like winning a raffle. The more tickets you buy, the more chances of winning. I presume you and your husband had a thorough exam and got checked for functionality of your reproductive organs.

Ovulation timing: The optimal time for conception is 48 hours prior to and up to the day of ovulation. Therefore, start having intercourse a couple of days prior to when you actually ovulate and have intercourse every other day for a total of five times to help ensure sperm are there when you ovulate. If your cycles are normal and you still haven't conceived after 12 months of trying, see a fertility specialist.
