Ok! Most women just prior to ovulation will notice EWCM (egg white cervical mucus) this signals that ovualtion is near! The best time to concieve is to have sex just before ovulation as the sperm live a lot longer than our eggs, so its best to have sperm in there waiting when your egg "drops."
Personally, what I call EWCM is basically just a little extra slippery discaharge. I notice it most when I wipe, it seems very slippery. I usually notice this one to two days before I get a positive opk. A positive opk means you should ovulate in 12-36 hours.
I noticed this slippery stuff Monday night. I had a negative opk on Tuesday (had sex anyway because I new ovulation was near.) I tested again Wednesday and got my positive opk. Some women notice some cramping when they ovulate, I don't.
So, since my opk was positive Wednesday, that means I probably actually ovulated thursday or maybe today. I actually timmed sex very well this month. We know the sperm live longer in the EWCM so my sperm from Tuesday's sex would have insured sperm were in the necessary position even if I ovulated Wednesnight night. Having sex today is probably not going to help my chances any as its probably too late, but I want to be sure we have it all covered!!!
So yes, I try to have sex before, during and after ovulation but the sex 1-2 days prior to ovulation is most likely to result in conception! If your man has issues with low sperm counts than having sex everyday is not a good idea, than they say everyother day is best. I seemed to have gotten pregnant pretty easily the first two times but for some reason its taken a lot longer this time
