Not everyone knows how it happensconception of a child. What is its basis? What happens inside the female and male organisms? The answers to these questions are not only useful, but also necessary to know. With such information, you will have an excellent idea of what is happening inside you. It turns out that all this is very, very interesting.
The yield of the egg, or What happens inside the female body
The ability to get pregnant is directly related toactivity of the ovaries. From the moment a woman is born, there are eggs inside the ovaries. The number of these eggs in a newborn girl reaches 450 thousand. Many of them soon die, and the number of the rest gradually decreases. This happens as the girl grows. During the entire reproductive period, about 400 eggs leave the woman's body. They leave the body along with menstruation, which ends with the onset of menopause in women. In the middle of the menstrual cycle, from one to three eggs mature inside the ovaries every month. The most mature of the eggs is released and then quickly enters the fallopian tube closest to it. The length of the fallopian tube is about 10 cm. There are 2 such tubes in the female body. They lead from the ovaries to the uterus. This release of the egg is called ovulation. Ovulation can be determined based on the duration of the menstrual cycle. So, if the menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, ovulation occurs from the 12th to the 15th day of the cycle. The first day of the cycle should be counted from the first day of the onset of menstruation. The egg is quite viable. It can easily be fertilized in the period from 12 to 24 hours after it leaves the ovary. In order for a child to be conceived, the egg needs to meet the sperm as soon as possible. The meeting of the egg and a healthy sperm and their connection indicate that conception has occurred.
The path of the sperm, or What happens inside the male body
While one is being formed in a woman’s bodyegg (within a month), new and new microscopic spermatozoa are continuously formed inside the male body. The purpose of the spermatozoon's existence is only one. And this purpose is to penetrate the egg. Sperm begins to be produced in the male body at the onset of puberty. The entire process of spermatozoon creation takes approximately 65-72 days. Sperm production is the main task of testosterone (male hormone). During each ejaculation, up to 300 million spermatozoa are released, but despite this, only one of them is able to fertilize the mature egg. The sex of the future child will depend on which type of spermatozoon reaches the egg first. This happens randomly.
Poses for a favorable conception
In choosing a position for a favorable conception of a babythere is no need to make any special efforts, because nature itself has already created conditions in which conception of a child should occur without difficulty. However, there are some positions that contribute to a quicker conception. Among such positions, the most common is when the woman lies on her back and the man is on top. This position allows the sperm to penetrate as deeply as possible. After completing sexual intercourse, it is recommended to lie quietly on your back, you can slightly raise your legs, or simply bend them at the knees. Positions in which the woman is on top, as well as standing and sitting positions, prevent sperm from penetrating the fallopian tubes. If you decide to conceive a child, then such positions should be excluded for a while. Experts say that during a female orgasm, it is harder for sperm to penetrate inside, so you can do without it for a while. A male orgasm, of course, is necessary for sperm to be released. Perhaps, when choosing a position, you should limit yourself to these simple rules that will help you get pregnant as quickly as possible. There are several techniques and tricks that can help you conceive a child more quickly.
How to calculate ovulation correctly
In order for the conception of a child to occur,as soon as possible, you need to clearly know on which days ovulation occurs. Each month there are only a few days when sexual intercourse can lead to conception. You can determine the days when you ovulate in different ways. The most common way to calculate ovulation is the calendar method. You can correctly calculate the days of ovulation only if your menstrual cycle is regular and is 28-30 days. If the cycle is 28 days, then ovulation occurs approximately 14 days after the first day of the onset of menstruation. This calculation method is considered the most convenient and effective in 80% of cases. You can correctly determine ovulation by measuring your basal body temperature. Before ovulation, your body temperature is usually 36.4 - 36.6 degrees. On the day when the egg leaves the ovary, the body temperature rises sharply and can be 37-37.2 degrees. Such a temperature drop can only indicate that ovulation has occurred. But this is only if there are no diseases that can cause such a temperature. Modern medicine has developed special tests to determine ovulation, which can be purchased at any pharmacy. Thus, there are several ways to help calculate the approximate or even exact days when conception of a child can occur.
When should sexual intercourse take place
So, you have determined the time of ovulation.Now is the time to plan sexual intercourse that can lead to conception. The most favorable days for conception are the days preceding ovulation (three days before) and the day of ovulation itself. Sometimes conception can occur as a result of sexual intercourse that took place 6 days before ovulation. In order for conception to occur, it is enough to have sex once a day. Sperm can live inside a woman's body for up to 6 days, but an egg lives only one. This means that sperm can wait a few days until an egg appears that can be fertilized. If you still cannot determine the exact days when conception is most possible, just have sex every other day. This will allow the sperm to constantly be in the fallopian tubes waiting for an egg. If you and your sexual partner abstain from sexual intercourse while waiting for the most favorable day to conceive, make sure that the period of abstinence does not last too long. A few days before the planned day, the man should have at least one ejaculation, otherwise the semen may accumulate a large number of dead spermatozoa, which are unable to fertilize the egg.
The main thing is to enjoy the process
The chances of getting pregnant will be much higher ifDuring intercourse, you will cast aside all worries related to this moment. As is known, ovulation hormones are regulated by a special gland in the brain, which is called the hypothalamus. At the moment when a woman is stressed, the hypothalamus functions worse. This means that ovulation may occur later than it should, or may not occur at all. To avoid such an unpleasant nuance, try to enjoy intercourse. The simpler and easier you are about the process itself, the greater your chances of getting pregnant. You should not set any goals that can distract you from the process itself. The main goal is to get pleasure and please your partner. During intercourse, try to adhere to this rule, and then the likelihood of getting pregnant will increase significantly.
Sperm recovery
Everyone knows that to fertilize an eggOnly the strongest and healthiest spermatozoa are capable of this. As strange as it may sound, sperm needs to be made healthy. There should be a lot of spermatozoa, they should be strong. To do this, a man needs to follow some rules that will help strengthen the health of sperm. To do this, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Frequent consumption of alcoholic beverages can significantly reduce the level of male hormone in the body and lead to the death of many spermatozoa. Several months before the planned conception, it is recommended to completely give up drugs and tobacco. This period can be considered the most favorable for giving up bad habits. A man needs to eat right and take vitamin complexes. This will allow the production of as many healthy and motile spermatozoa as possible. Among the nutrients that are so necessary for the body to perform this function are zinc, calcium, folic acid, vitamins C and D. In the period before conception, high temperatures should be avoided, which can destroy spermatozoa. Saunas, hot baths and steam baths will have to be postponed for later. Improving the quality and health of sperm takes a lot of time. The sooner all these changes are introduced into your man's life, the more favorable it will be for conception.
Preparation of own body
You should prepare for pregnancy andphysically. In order to know how to prepare for pregnancy, how to create the most favorable conditions for its course, prepare in advance and visit your doctor. A gynecologist can prescribe the necessary examination. If there are any diseases or contraindications for conception, treatment will be prescribed immediately. If you are planning to get pregnant in the near future, try to completely give up drinking alcohol. Drugs and tobacco should also be excluded, because they directly affect conception. All this can not only prevent pregnancy, but can also cause irreparable harm to the fetus. Reduce caffeine consumption, it significantly reduces your chances of getting pregnant. As a rule, pregnancy occurs after three months of constant attempts. Statistics say that 6 out of 10 couples get pregnant during this period. Do not panic if after this period pregnancy has not occurred. Conception is considered normal up to a year of attempts. If after this time conception still has not occurred, you should seek help from a specialist.
Age and chances of getting pregnant
Modern women are getting married later and later.This is explained by the desire to first make a career, get on their feet, and only then start a family. Few people think about the fact that by postponing the birth of a child for any of the listed reasons, they can eventually face a number of problems. A woman's ability to conceive a child decreases with each passing year. The most favorable age for conception and pregnancy is considered to be 20-24 years. After 24 years, the chances of getting pregnant decrease with each passing year, and the risk of infertility gradually increases. The ability to have children in men is preserved much longer than in women. Experts say that a 35-year-old woman's chances of getting pregnant are 2 times less than a 25-year-old woman's. And at 40, the chances of conceiving a child are 2 times less than at 35. This only means that problems with conception arise more and more often with each passing year. Why does this happen? Time goes by, some changes occur in a woman's body that can directly affect the conception of a baby. One of these changes is an irregular menstrual cycle, which may indicate the approaching menopause. Such changes are typical for women over 40 years of age. The uterine mucosa, namely the endometrial layer, becomes thinner with age, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterine wall. Excess weight can directly affect the onset of pregnancy. Over time, the ovarian reserve changes in a woman's body. This is the name given to the number of follicles in the ovary that are capable of performing their function. Over time, the number of these follicles only decreases, and with early menopause, this process only accelerates. In addition to all of the above, a woman's reproductive function can be affected by certain diseases that, due to the lack of timely treatment, affect the organs of the reproductive system (chlamydia, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis). So, to conceive a child, it is necessary to follow all these simple rules, which will create favorable conditions for the earliest possible onset of pregnancy. We wish you good health and success in conceiving a child!
