A member asked:

Will having sex everyday the week of ovulation increase the chances of pregnancy or will too much sex decrease our chances?

Either: It probably makes little to no difference, but every day certainly doesn't increase the chances over every other. I suggest patients try every other day to give the male partner a day of abstinence. Its important to start a day or 2 before ovulation though.
