Fertility

Hi, all!
If my next fertile dates are September 24-29, what is the best day(s) to have sex to get pregnant?
Thanks! :)

Every other day works and as Annie said, every day lowers sperm count (the "boys" need time to build up their count) make sure he's wearing loose fitting boxers and keep all laptops, electronics & anything that would warm that area away...heat kills the sperm.  While it's been proven that standing on your head is not necessary, not getting up for 15 mins right after (thank gravity) helps & laying down (I put a pillow under my hips to tilt pelvis up a bit) & cuddling w/positive convo doesn't hurt.  Keep us posted!
Now go get busy!  
baby dust!  :-)

Every other day or even just every third day.  Sperm lives a long time in your system.  Don't have sex every day, it is detrimental to the sperm count.

The TWW - 2 week wait is agonizing, yes?  My next "grumpy week", as I've named it, is expected in 6 days and aside from a few symptoms that are indicative of both early pregnancy and AF coming to town, I'm trying not to stress nor get my hopes up.  Just turned 38 August 30th and feeling like maybe my eggs aren't viable anymore.  Blood work says FSH is good, but that nagging "tick tock" is getting louder.  I just thought I'd check in and see how you're doing, sunflower :)
Baby dust and positive vibes to you both.  Cheers!
