Which is better - making love more or less often when trying to conceive?

Would it be better (when in the ovulatory window - I know all about that) to make love more frequently or less frequently in order to conceive? Which increases the chance of conception? We're not trying now but will be in a few months or so.

Answers:
My midwife's personal "get pregnant plan" is every other day because she says having sex every day instead of every other day doesn't increase chances of pregnancy. However, I've read things that say if you can do it everyday, they why not? If sperm count is normal, the sperm can stay alive for 2-3 days. I conceived 3 days before ovulation. Good luck!

Other Answers:
My doctor told me that a man whom hasn't ejaculated in a while has ejaculate that is more full of junk than it is sperm, so maybe making love a little more often than not would be a good idea, but I've found that the pressure of "trying" to conceive can also sometimes render one unable to get pregnant. Take it easy and relax and have fun with it instead of making it a "job" and things should go well. Good luck:)

I think more often. It helps the marriage and the baby making. But remember to just relax and have fun. God will bless you with a child when He is ready, not necessarily when you are. My husband and I are blessed with 4 boys and they all happened right on time. No trying here. It'll just happen. Prayer, that is the real answer. I have read to have sex every other day during your fertile week. But I have also read that if you don't have any concerns of sperm count to go ahead and try every day. My hubby and I are trying twice a day.

LESS is better spurm count is higher

okay i was told i couldn't have kids all my life and when i let my guard down and just enjoyed the moment and had one heck of an orgaisim, well bingo that was it. cause i got pregnant and then three months later i got pregnant again on the pill. the best thing i can say is if you are in the mood enjoy it and don't just make it a chore. if you are having fun it will be more likely to happen. i tired a year with out nothing and didn't get pregnant and then when i quit trying and just enjoyed it and didn't think it was a chore and wasn't tryin soooo hard it happened. hope that helps
