It is true that sexual intercourse should be as close to ovulation in order to increase the likelihood of conception.

Sperm are viable for five days, so it's important not just to have sex after ovulation, but also to her. Ideally, sexual intercourse should take place in one or two days before ovulation.

Secondly, many women can not pinpoint the time of ovulation. If you do not know exactly when you ovulate, or a mistake in calculating the date of ovulation, you have sex it is in vain (ie, it will not give you anything but fun) in the "wrong" days. Therefore, experts recommend having sex at least three times a week to get there for sure during ovulation and increase the chances of conception.
