I'm currently breeding a male pastel to a normal female and they've been introduced to each other 3 times and they lock up every time. How many times do they need to lock up before she gets prego? And also I leave my male in with the female for 3 days and then i take him out (unless their still locked). But I reintroduce them like a week or two later, should i do a 3 days in 3 days out then 3 days back in and so forth, or is it ok to introduce them every one or two weeks (im asking because i think i'll burn out the male if i introduce him every 3 days)?

Here are some pics:
