Trying to conceive doesn't have to feel complicated.
Having in*******se 2–3 times a week throughout the cycle is generally recommended for most couples trying to conceive. It helps ensure s***m are present during your fertile window, even if ovulation doesn't happen exactly when you expect.
You also don't always need LH strips. Learning to recognise fertile cervical mucus can be just as valuable for identifying your fertile days.
Understanding your body takes away a lot of the guesswork.
