In this video, Dr. Sterling walks you through everything you need to know about tracking ovulation and timing sex for conception—without overcomplicating it or stressing you out.

You’ll learn:

• Why you don’t have to track ovulation to start trying—but what to do if you want to

• The pros and cons of different tracking methods:
  • Calendar method
  • Basal body temperature (BBT)
  • Wearables like Ava
  • Cervical mucus monitoring
  • Ovulation predictor kits (LH urine tests)

• Why sperm can live up to 5 days (!) and how that affects your fertile window

• The most fertile days of your cycle—and why even earlier days can still lead to pregnancy

• How often to have sex (according to real research): every day, every other day, or every three days—all are okay!

You’ll also hear Dr. Sterling’s personal take (including when she got pregnant), and get reassurance that if timed intercourse feels overwhelming, you’re not alone—and you’re still doing great.
