-- I have to agree with Lana. During this limited time each month it is "baby making". You have the rest of the month or the rest of your lives to have "love making". Why not give it the best shot? Also, I've read that it is best not to "save up" for longer than 7 days or you could end up with a lot of dead sperm.

Good luck!
