Rise in Temperature

De-Stress
No matter when you decide to have sex to get pregnant, don’t over do it or stress about it. Too much stress can actually alter your cycle, while trying to have sex everyday will not increase your chances of getting pregnant. When you do have sex, remember to lie in bed for at about 15 minutes after intercourse to allow the sperm time to reach the cervix.
