Trying for a baby should be the most natural thing in the world. But in this digital age of apps and readily available tests for everything under the sun, it’s no wonder hopeful parents can get bogged down in too much tech.

Many couples admit to getting het up about the ‘precise time’ to have sex, when there really is no need, according to a fertility expert.

If you’re looking to conceive then sex just needs to be regular, about three times a week. Professor Adam Balen, former chairman of the British Fertility Society, said by focussing so much on ovulation, couples might forget to have sex at other times, too.

He told the Daily Mail : "Couples should ideally be having sex every other day to maximise their chances of having a baby. "If men do not have sex regularly, older sperm building up in their body can release chemicals which may cause other sperm to die. "Women sometimes get too hung up on ovulation, wait only for that day to have sex, and do it less often as a result." Want your daily dose of lifestyle, royal and celeb news straight to your inbox?
