Mistake No. 2: Excessive Sex

Couples may also fall for the fad that sex goes by the rule that the more it

is done the merrier the chances of pregnancy become. But more isn't

always better. Although having sex frequently won't decrease the potency

of a man's sperm, as many believe, it too often can potentially cause

problems, says Dr. Wood. "If it's for reproductive purposes alone, having

sex multiple times a day or even every single day could cause 'burnout,' and

the couple may begin to view sex as little more than a pre-ovulatory

chore," he explains. In such a scenario when that window of fertility is

open, one or both of the partners may not be interested, resulting in a

missed opportunity.
