TIMESTAMPS:
05:12- TODAY’S QUESTION: When Should We Have Sex to Optimize Pregnancy Chances?
- There is a lot of information out there- it can be confusing!
- When the lovemaking suffers because of “baby-making”
05:44- DR. TABATHA BARBER’S INITIAL RESPONSE
- Figuring out when you are ovulating (and optimizing)
- The egg lives for a few days after it gets released (so does the sperm)
- How do you increase your odds? Does peeing after sex matter?
- Why would having sex every other day be a good idea?
- “I want you to not take any of the enjoyment out of it either.”
- What orgasms help with (why they matter!)
- Things to do after sex to increase your chances: “Help the sperm get to where they need to go.”
- Do positions matter? Would it matter if the woman was on top?
- Castor oil packs- how would that help?
- Natural lubricants versus toxic lubricants (which can kill sperm)
