Other ways to track ovulation include charting your basal body temperature, monitoring your cervical mucus, and tracking your menstrual cycle. (For the most approximate way to determine when you ovulate, subtract 14 days from the length of your cycle.)

For a typical 28-day cycle (where you ovulate on day 14), here’s what you’ll do:

• Start having sex a few times per week as soon as your period ends. Getting busy often ensures you won’t miss  your most fertil time, especially if your cycle length varies from month to month.
• Make a point to have sex every other day starting around day 10.
• When you have a positive result on your OPK (around day 12), have sex that day and the next two days these are your best days of the month to conceive.

Lie on your back after sex. « Because the vagina naturally slopes downward, resting on your back after sex allows sperm to pool there, which gives them an edge in swimming toward your egg, » says Dr. Williams. Should you keep your legs elevated, too? It can’t hurt, he says, but it probably doesn’t help any more than lying down does.

Have sex before bed. Though some sources report that sperm count is highest in the morning, the truth is that there’s no optimal time of day to have sex. However, doing so before you hit the hay is an easy way to ensure you stay on your back afterward.

Keep it vanilla(ish). While there’s no single sex position that’s best for baby-making (or for choosing your baby’s sex), stick to one where you’ll be on your back when it’s over.

When it comes to baby-making sex, avoid using lube. Some couples may think lubricant helps sperm move more quickly, but the truth is that lube can actually hinder your pregnancy efforts. Many formulas alter the pH balance in the vagina and decrease sperm mobility. As an alternative, learn about sperm-friendly lube options here.

What’s more, don’t fret if you aren’t having orgasms when trying to conceive. While orgasms are a great perk of satisfying sex, they don’t help you get pregnant faster or easier.
