IIRC to get pregnant most efficiently one should do it as often as possible rather than wait for the fertility peak.

- wild_preference 8y agoYes, but many people have a dead bedroom yet still want children. These apps are popular among certain religous groups as well where sex is viewed as some sort of necessary evil solely for procreation. Something to be minimized.
- nsxwolf 8y agoI'm not sure what religious groups there are that actually have that view of sex. I usually hear that as an incorrect interpretation of Catholic views on human sexuality. The usefulness of NFP depends on your perspective. If you require a 100% childless life, you're going to see it as useless. For faithful Catholics, using NFP with random failures can mean 3-5 kids instead of 8-12 kids. That's a huge difference.
- wild_preference 8y agoI’m from the south and have people (christian, non-denominational) in my own family with that view. I’m not talking about some misinterpretation of Catholic views, but a view that actual people hold. No need for the indirection of trying to pin this on a label. That’s another convesation. But you are underestimating the level of sexual repression in the States.

- web007 8y agoThe recommendation I remember is once every 2 or 3 days, since sperm production has its own refractory period. Every day is slightly less effective than waiting a little bit.
