Engaging in coitus within a few hours of ovulation gives the highest chance of conception as the ovum is only viable for 12-24 hours after ovulation. Timing intercourse during this period increases the likelihood of sperm reaching and fertilizing the egg. Using the female superior position or monitoring vaginal mucus and basal temperature may be helpful in determining ovulation timing, but they are not as reliable as other methods such as ovulation predictor kits or ultrasound monitoring.
