A member asked:
Do you have to have sex every day on ovulation week to get pregnant ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Sperm and eggs have a short effective lifetime such that sperm deposited in the vagina can still demonstrate potency for a few days and the egg is available for fertilization for a few days also. We recommend every other day intercourse during the week of ovulation.
