I'm sorry, I'm not sure what earlier question you are referring to. In terms of optimizing the chance you become pregnant the best thing to do is have timed intercourse in relation to when you ovulate. If you are not sure when you ovulate you can use an ovulation predictor kit to help determine this. A woman with a regular monthly menses ovulates usually about midway; so if a woman has a 28 day cycle they would ovulate around day 14. Once you have an idea when you ovulate, you will then want to have intercourse once or twice per day, every other day beginning ~4 days before ovulation. Sperm remain alive in the female reproductive tract for ~72 hours so don't worry about being a day or two off.
I hope this is helpful.
