The most optimal days for conception are 5 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation.
Ovulation begins 14 days before you start your period. After ovulation, the egg is only viable for a day.

Men also shouldn't balance laptops on their legs with their legs closed as this heats up the testicles and impedes sperm production.
6. Ditch the lube
Rely on foreplay to get proper lubrication as the sex lubricants have been noted to affect sperm motility.
The lube contains agents which prevent the sperm from swimming effectively.
