Hallow Dear,

Let me answer your second question first. All the medicines which you have mentioned (except progesterone cream) are supporting medicines. Please continue the supplementary medicines, even after conception also. Please do not discontinue them, the only option to it being progesterone cream. You can take your Gynaecologist's advise regarding it.

When you see the evidence of egg release (ovulation) on the kit, you should have sexual relations. Then onwards, have daily or alternate day intercourse for next 4 days.

The egg has life of 24 hours only while the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence, you may start the sexual relations every alternate day when you have the indication of impending ovulation.

I hope this answers your queries.
