Can I still have sex during ovulation?

However, for some couples, they schedule intercourse during the risk period but do not become pregnant. This doesn't mean they can't get pregnant at any time. In fact, this situation is called the "miss-out effect" or "window period," which is when a woman does not schedule intercourse during a certain period, so her eggs do not encounter sperm.

For couples who miss the effect, they may consider scheduling intercourse during another period to increase their chances of pregnancy. However, they must determine whether their cycle is accurate and determine which day is best for them to schedule intercourse.

Additionally, if a missed-effect couple has tried sexual intercourse multiple times without getting pregnant, they may want to consult a doctor to determine if other problems are present, such as impotence or frigidity.
