You and your partner made a fateful decision and want to have a baby. All tests and examinations are already behind. So why does the long-awaited conception never come? What posture is suitable for conception? How to choose the perfect date for conception?
How to understand when the conception occurred? In order to find answers to these questions, we turn to the school course of anatomy. So, in the body of a woman, a reproductive cell called an egg is monthly produced. This usually happens in the middle of the menstrual cycle, namely on the 10-14th day from the first day of menstruation. Accordingly, at this time, the follicle ripens and the egg leaves the ovary in the body cavity. This phenomenon is called ovulation, and it is at this time that conception is possible. In the male body, germ cells are produced in the testes. Experts have proven that the best frequency of sexual intercourse for conceiving a child is every other day. How to understand when the conception occurred?
As we have already found out, the ability to conceive a child is most likely in the middle of the female cycle, namely during ovulation. Previously, doctors recommended actively having sex at this time to conceive a baby. However, in modern reproductology, there are many other ways to determine the best time for conception. How can you calculate the date of conception?
Firstly, a woman needs to keep a calendar of menstruation and record personal feelings there. If you regularly record the onset of the first day of your period, it will be easy for you to answer the question of when the conception occurred. Some women claim that they feel ovulation every month, they have at that time pulling the lower abdomen on either the right or left side. If you are not a sensitive person, you can try using the calendar method. It suits you if the menstrual cycle is regular and comes like a clock. To do this, subtract 14 days from the date of the estimated day of the next menstruation. Despite the fact that it seems complicated at first glance, the calendar method is incredibly simple. But it is suitable only for those who have no problems with the reproductive sphere. That is, it makes sense to use the calendar method to select the date of conception, only if you are sure that you have ovulation every month.
If you doubt your fertility, you can try measuring basal temperature and plotting. To do this, prepare a thermometer, and in the morning, without rising from the shelter
te, measure the
temperature rectally. It is advisable to record the result immediately, so as not to forget. After a couple of months of such research, you will get a clear picture. At first, basal temperature holds just above 37 degrees. On approximately the 10th day, it drops sharply by 2-3 degrees and
during ovulation rises to 37.5 and higher. And then, if pregnancy did not occur, the temperature gradually decreases, and a new menstrual cycle begins. When conception occurred, the temperature, on the contrary, rises and, accordingly, menstruation does not occur.
From this description it is clear that the best time for conception is a peak in temperature, which indicates the onset of ovulation. The ideal time for conception is 5 days before and 5 days after the ovulation itself. The fact is that male sperm are viable for 7 days. Some doctors even build theories about the possibility of choosing the sex of the unborn child, based on the time of conception. As for the posture, it does not have a special effect on the possibility of conception, if you do not have any physiological abnormalities in the structure of the genital organs.
