Does coming at the same time increase chance of pregnancy?
We've been trying to conceive for a while now. My mother-in-law told me that if my husband and I 'come at the same time', it increases the chances of pregnancy. Is there any truth to this?

I totally get it, when you are trying to conceive, you start wondering about every little detail of intimacy. Biologically, simultaneous climax doesn't actually increase the chances of pregnancy. What really matters is timing it during the ovulation window.
I was actually wondering about this too because there is so much conflicting advice online. Did anyone else feel pressured to time things perfectly like this? It is getting a bit stressful, to be honest.
My husband and I spent months reading up on all these myths when we were trying for a baby. Honestly, we realized that simultaneous climax has nothing to do with conception. Just focusing on tracking my peak fertility days is what actually worked for us.
Beta, these are all modern anxieties and overthinking. Pregnancy is a natural process that depends on the health of both partners. Eat clean, home-cooked food, reduce your daily stress, and trust the natural timing.
It is much more important to make sure your hormone levels, like thyroid and prolactin, are balanced. These myths don't affect pregnancy, but thyroid issues definitely do. Get your basic blood tests done and consult your gynaecologist.

With PCOS, ovulation is highly irregular, so simultaneous climax has absolutely zero impact on our chances. It is all about finding when you actually ovulate. I highly recommend talking to a fertility specialist rather than focusing on these ideas.
