Conceiving a baby is an issue that may be left to chance or may be enhanced by employing various methods to improve the chances or increase the probability of conceiving. Conceiving a baby is a game of probability and these methods are employed to increase that probability in favour of successful conception.
Successful conceiving of a baby pre-supposes the successful joining of the sperm and the female egg. However, this is may not necessarily be easy or taken care of by Mother Nature and, accordingly, many methods and theories of improving the chances of conceiving have been suggested over the years. These are the practical methods which will not leave a doubt in your mind about the applicability and ease of which the chances of conceiving a baby can be greatly improved
Keeping track of the menstrual cycle
Keeping track of the menstrual cycle is the easiest way of identifying which days you will be most fertile to improve your chances of conceiving a child. The easiest way of keeping track of your menstrual cycle is having a menstrual calendar where you indicate the beginning and the end of your period consistently.
You may also be able to identify the signs of when you are most fertile and, in this regard, the most common signs that you are fertile for conceiving a child are; when there is an increase in vaginal mucus which is egg white in texture, softness of the cervix (located high in the vagina) and general increase in your body temperature which may be characterized by fluctuations.. In this regard, once ovulation has occurred, your body temperature will rise.
Making it count
You are most fertile for conceiving a baby five days before your ovulation, on the day that you ovulate and ideally twelve hours after your ovulation. This is the period within which conceiving a child can easily take place.
Making love during this period will increase the chances of conceiving. Making every fertile day count while at the same time pacing yourself to ensure that you do not get drained physically and mentally.
Have orgasmic great sex –
The female orgasm facilitates the movement of the sperm up the vagina to the cervix for the conceiving of a baby to take place. The vagina is invariably acidic and on orgasm the cervix contracts drawing in the sperm from the vagina and to the cervix enabling conception.
Pace yourselves
Sex is great. However, it can also be exhausting and in any case, to increase the chances of conceiving a baby, your man has to have a substantial sperm count. Overdoing it or doing it daily may just cause your partner to have a marginal sperm count which may reduce the chances of conceiving the child.
Safety of the sperm
There are various factors that may reduce the chances of the sperm surviving in the vagina long enough to get to the cervix and thereby reduce the chances of conceiving a child. These factors may be brought about by the use of artificial lubricants, vaginal sprays, tampons that are scented, and which may cause the sperm to die.
Savoring the moment
Although it may be common belief that lifting your legs or placing pillows under your bottom to lift it will move the sperm to ensure conception, this may not be necessary and simply staying in bed for a while after making love is a good idea akin to savoring the moment after love making and perhaps increasing the chances of conceiving a baby.
Though there are many other factors to consider in increasing the chances of conceiving a child, such as stress that may affect the fertility due to the biological effect of stress, the above tips may be a good starting point and practical if nothing else towards successful conceiving of babies.
