how to get pregnant unnoticed

The most favorable days for conception depending on ovulation

To conceive, a woman’s body must receive two reproductive cells: female and male. And if a male cell can at any time easily pass directly to its intended goal, then with the female component of successful fertilization the situation is more complicated.

The female menstrual cycle consists of successive phases that are completely different and at the same time constantly replace each other. The meaning of the cycle as a whole is always the same - preparing the egg for fertilization. Conception becomes possible only after a full-fledged egg matures, leaves the ovary and enters the fallopian tube.

Reference! Experts have calculated the most favorable time in the menstrual cycle, when the process of conception becomes most likely, and called it ovulation. This time period is different for each woman, but it is the best for the onset of a long-awaited pregnancy.

To calculate ovulation, you need to use one of the following methods:

Calendar. A woman should start keeping a calendar where she will mark the dates when her periods begin. She will also need to record the duration of the menstrual cycle (from the beginning of the day her period arrives until the last day before the next menstruation arrives). The most likely date of ovulation is in the middle of the cycle. The favorable date for conception is two days before and two to three days after ovulation.
Basal. During the entire menstrual cycle, a woman should measure her temperature rectally in the morning. Also, the obtained values should be recorded in a notepad. The moment of ovulation occurs on those days in which the body temperature was 0.2 - 0.3 degrees higher due to hormonal changes in the body. The method is quite accurate only if the woman does not have diseases of the genital organs and various infectious and viral diseases.
Ultrasound or folliculometry. A high-quality ultrasound machine can determine the stage of development of the egg and its location. The development of the follicle can be tracked as early as 7–10 days after menstruation.

Important! To determine the exact date of ovulation, ultrasound monitoring is recommended for 2 to 3 months.

Test. To carry it out, you will need a pharmacy ovulation test and morning urine. The attached instructions always describe in detail the subtleties of the calculation, although they may differ for each test. It is necessary to carefully study the method of using funds to calculate the exact date of ovulation.
Vaginal. A subjective assessment method that involves tracking clinical symptoms in the middle of the menstrual cycle. Swelling of the mammary glands, the appearance of nipple sensitivity, mucus discharge from the vagina and increased libido indicate the onset of the most favorable period for conception.

Favorable days for conceiving a child: when can you get pregnant?

HOW TO DETERMINE FAVORABLE DAYS TO CONCEPT A CHILD

The first day of your period is the first day of the menstrual cycle, from which you need to start reporting. For the vast majority of women, ovulation (the time when eggs are most ready for fertilization) occurs 14-16 days after the first day of the cycle and lasts two to three days. Ovulation is the process by which an egg enters the fallopian tube, where it meets sperm for fertilization. If everything went well, the fertilized egg enters the uterus, where the development of your future baby begins.

You can find out favorable days for conceiving a child after menstruation using special ovulation tests. In addition, many women “feel” ovulation. Also during this period, a slight change in basal temperature is possible - at the beginning of ovulation it decreases by 0.5 degrees, at the end - on the contrary, it increases.

Don't worry if you don't get pregnant the first time, even if you had sex right around the time you ovulated. You should start worrying only if pregnancy does not occur after 6-8 months of regular sex on the right days. By the way, you can also calculate them using the calendar of favorable days for conceiving a child, which is available on many medical portals.

To get pregnant, have sex every day during ovulation. Before ovulation begins, it is better to abstain from sex for 2-3 days in order to improve the quality of sperm and sperm activity - they all work best with regular ejaculation, but not several times a day, but once every 2-3 days.

FAVORABLE DAYS FOR CONCEPTING A CHILD AFTER MENSURE

So, you have counted down 14 days until the end of your cycle and are ready to get pregnant (with a 28-day cycle, this will also be 14 days after your period arrives). But how to determine favorable days for conceiving a child with a non-standard cycle? If your cycle is not 28 days, but, for example, 30, then according to the calendar of favorable days for conceiving a child, you will ovulate on the 16th day from the start of menstruation. (30 minus 14 days until the end of the cycle).

Start working on conceiving a child 1-2 days before the start of ovulation, since both the egg and the sperm “live” for several days. To increase your chances, try to avoid lubricants and squirting - all of this reduces sperm activity and disrupts the natural balance in the vagina.

By the way, if you want a boy, it is recommended to have sex exactly during ovulation, and if you want a girl, then 3-4 days before it. Of course, this rule doesn’t work for everyone, but it’s worth a try.

The most effective position for conception is the most standard one. In the missionary position, sperm penetrates deeply into the vagina with virtually no loss. Try not to run straight to the bathroom after sex. To increase your chances of conceiving, simply lie down for a while after intercourse.

If you have been taking oral contraceptives for a long time, pregnancy may not occur immediately after discontinuation, since it takes time for the cycle to normalize (this may take about a year, but everything is individual). In this case, it will be more difficult to independently calculate favorable days for conceiving a child, so it is better to use the test and consult a gynecologist.

Optimal age for conception:

- for men

The only task of a man in the process of fertilization is to transfer high-quality genetic material to the egg. Sperm change their qualities depending on the lifestyle of the future father. If by the age of 50 a man leads a healthy and physically active lifestyle, then his material for fertilization will be no worse than a 25-year-old guy. That is why there is no exact age threshold for all men at once. Already from the age of 16, a young man is able to impregnate a girl and this process continues almost until old age.

However, modern research has proven that there is a mathematical approximate calculation that still shows the probability of successful conception in earlier male years. Up to 40 years of age, the stronger sex can fertilize an egg easily and not pass on a dubious gene pool to it. After the age of 40, the chances decrease noticeably, and it is possible to conceive a child in 60% of cases. By age 45, the figure drops to 35%.

- for women

Young girls begin menstruation in their early teens. This moment already indicates the readiness of the egg to become fertilized. But the physiological structure of the organs is not yet mature for bearing a fetus and giving birth to a child. The heart and kidneys can be severely damaged during early pregnancy, and the pelvic bones are not yet ready to bear the stress of labor and may not open properly during pushing. Until the age of 18, all organs and systems of the body prepare the body of the expectant mother for the future bearing and birth of a child. Therefore, it is from this age threshold that a girl can already safely become pregnant and carry a baby.

Reference! From the age of 25, the natural aging mechanism begins; by the age of 30, the body experiences progesterone deficiency and the elasticity of the birth canal is lost, as well as the mobility of the pelvic bones. That is why the optimal age for conception in women is conventionally considered to be 18 - 35 years.

Factor of the menstrual cycle.

Conception occurs on specific days of the monthly cycle that coincide with ovulation. Ovulation is the readiness of an egg for fertilization. The lifespan of an egg is twelve hours. For the process of conception to take place, the male sperm must enter the fallopian tubes at the same time as the egg. The viability of sperm in the female genital tract lasts from 48 to 72 hours. Simple calculations show that every month 4 days are favorable for conception. For conception to occur, it is necessary for the sperm to penetrate the membranes of the egg. The membrane dissolves as a result of the active influence of a large number of sperm, but only one is involved in fertilization. The egg and active sperm unite into a single zygote (cell), which then begins to divide and form the body of the unborn baby.

In this case, it is necessary to determine the onset of ovulation as accurately as possible. According to calculations, ovulation occurs on the 14th day of the cycle. But real time does not always coincide with the calculated one due to the individual characteristics of a young woman’s body. Therefore, additional determination methods are used: measuring basal temperature or home ovulation tests.

What is the best time of year to conceive:

- winter

Conception in the winter period fully provides the body with vitamins and minerals in the last stage of pregnancy. Lactation also occurs during a period when the body is saturated with vitamins and microelements.

But the first months of pregnancy are at the peak of epidemiological diseases, which is the most dangerous for the fetus that has begun its development. And the birth of a baby occurs in a rather cold season, which is not very good for the first walks together.

- spring

Conception in spring is always a romantic period, nature comes to life and there is a desire to create something new and great. A lot of positive emotions have a very beneficial effect on the development of the fetus. The last months of pregnancy fall during a harvest-rich season, and weather conditions make it easier to tolerate late toxicosis.

At the same time, if you plan to conceive in the spring, there are also disadvantages:

The period of fertilization just falls during the season of exhaustion of the body. The lack of vitamins is felt most acutely in the spring.
The last months of pregnancy fall during the most traumatic period of the year (ice, drizzle, fog). At the same time, the conditions for walking are very dangerous: windy and cold weather, darkness and slush.
The birth of a child occurs during a period of increased incidence of viral and infectious diseases, which makes staying in public places quite hazardous to health.

- summer

In the summer, there is a high probability of conceiving a healthy baby, since the expectant mother has a huge reserve of health, and the body receives a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables during this period of time. In addition, in the summer, dangerous diseases such as influenza and ARVI are minimized. Future parents have a full opportunity to put their bodies in order, gain strength in nature, and go to the sea. In general, a flurry of positive emotions is 100% guaranteed

But there is another side to the coin. Just during the summer conception, the periods of pregnancy fall during the seasons of mass diseases, in addition, a sharp cold snap creates icy conditions, which leads to an increase in injuries. Childbirth during summer fertilization falls during the season of decreased immunity due to vitamin deficiency, which may affect the success of resolution.

- autumn

In autumn there are a lot of vitamins in fresh seasonal vegetables, while the velvet season gives a lot of positive charge. Conception in the fall is considered a very favorable period.

But again, there is a high probability of colds. The heating season that begins in the fall creates a lot of trouble: during pregnancy, a woman becomes either stuffy or cold. Pressure surges and constantly opening windows for ventilation create a risk of colds.

In autumn, a woman’s body always produces an insufficient amount of melatonin due to the short duration of daylight hours. Melatonin is an important hormone for a favorable pregnancy.

What time of day is best to conceive?

Experts have come to the unequivocal conclusion that the best time to conceive a child is in the morning. From about 6 to 8 am, the probability of fertilization increases several times. It has been proven that during a given time period, a man produces the most active sperm, and the female body is most prepared for conception.

Attention! This statement is not a dogma, since different people develop their own biological clocks throughout their lives. They depend on all sorts of factors: the duration of sleep and wakefulness, daily routine and nutrition, the body’s resistance to stress and the strength of the immune system.

Factor of woman's age.

The reproductive period of an individual woman lasts from 14 years to 50. During this period, the female body is able to bear and give birth to children. But it is not physical age that should determine the onset of a desired pregnancy. Doctors consider the optimal age for pregnancy with your first child to be between 21 and 26 years. And the optimal interval for the birth of all children is from 20 to 35. The greatest concern of modern doctors is pregnancy after 35 years. Statistics play a negative role here, indicating an increasing risk of giving birth to a child with pathologies, including genetic ones. For men, the age threshold for risk occurs around 50 years. Therefore, when calculating the time limits for conceiving a child, one should remember the biological age of the future parents.
