Other research shows that most conceptions are from intercourse in the 6 days leading up to ovulation. I think it is just plain hard to conceive, even with sperm living 5 days! I look back over my charts in this bout of ttc and there are months we've got almost every day covered but no conception. I mean we had to have had billions of sperm in there some months. Then another month we only bd twice and stopped 4 days short of ovulation, and managed to concieve! 5 years ago when I tried to conceive my son, I succeeded the 2nd month with only 1 act of intercourse timed to fertile mucous (which for me, I now know comes a number of days before I actualy ovulate). So I basically don't have a clue at this point, and I'm about ready to throw in the towel in regards to trying to finesse the timing.

At this point, our problem is staying pregnant, not getting pregnant, but there definatley isn't a pattern regarding which months and which days of bd work and which don't. It is SOOOOO frustrating to have so little control!
