Yes, it is recommended to have sexual intercourse around the time of ovulation, which typically occurs 14 days before the start of the next menstrual period. You can also use ovulation tests to determine the exact date of ovulation. If there is no pregnancy after 12 months of trying, it is a good idea to consult your family doctor. Additionally, it is advisable to start taking 1mg of folic acid at least 3 months before becoming pregnant. Your pharmacist can provide you with a prescription for this.
