When To Have Intercourse
DuoFertility allows you both to plan the best time to have baby-making intercourse
Conception? is mostly a matter of timing: a meeting of egg? and sperm at the right moment.
During every cycle, a woman’s body prepares itself to support a baby. Hormones are correctly balanced, an egg is released and the womb? becomes an ideal place for the egg to be implanted. The egg can be fertilised between one and two days after ovulation, which is especially important as sperm are not able to survive in the body for more than two days. Studies have shown that the best predictor of pregnancy is high frequency of intercourse during the period when ovulation is likely to occur. If intercourse occurs at the right time during the cycle, you and your partner’s chances of conceiving are maximised.
Previous techniques used to measure BBT may not detect ovulation soon enough after it has occurred to help you conceive during that month, using the DuoFertility system will help you predict when you will ovulate allowing you to plan baby-making intercourse in advance.
The time you have left for baby-making intercourse after ovulation varies a lot according to different scientific studies because the methods used for the detection of ovulation in each study are very different. But we think that most couples generally have a 24 hour window after the temperature rise detected by DuoFertility in which they can have baby-making intercourse. This may vary slightly from person to person since we all have different fertility levels. In any case, using DuoFertility will help predict your fertile period, so after a couple of cycles of getting used to how DuoFertility works, you will have a bit more warning if you want to plan a romantic evening with your partner!
