No problem. S**t happens and so does stress.

A study published by the NIH last January changed what we were taught as residents about when people can get pregnant. Optimum timing is intercourse on a daily basis for 5 days prior to and the day of ovulation. If you're ovulating today, call him home early and skip dinner ;-)

Go for it, Bev. The study also indicated that intercourse the day after ovulation resulted in no pregnencies (different than what we had been taught....... also we were taught intercourse every 2 days..... now it's daily!) So, as I've been told Oprah says, "You go, girl!"
