This podcast explores the science behind conception, clearing up common misconceptions and offering helpful tips for couples trying to conceive. It highlights that the fertile window spans the five days leading up to ovulation, plus the day of ovulation itself. For the best chances of success, regular intercourse—ideally every other day or daily—is advised, as sperm can live up to five days in the female reproductive system. The discussion also covers how age affects fertility, the emotional challenges of the journey to parenthood, and alternative options like intrauterine insemination (IUI) for those facing difficulties. Additionally, it debunks several myths about conception, such as the belief that certain positions or post-coital practices are necessary for success.
