In a woman's life, there are various reasons for calculating the period of possible conception. In one case, it is fear of an unwanted pregnancy, in the other it is, on the contrary, expectation of pregnancy and a great desire to have a child.
Instructions
Step 1
Conception usually takes place in the fallopian tube, where the egg enters after ovulation. The life span of the egg is very short - only a couple of hours, and the sperm retain their ability to fertilize the egg for several days. So, it should be concluded that the most favorable period of conception is the day of ovulation, well, plus or minus two days. Since the egg cell has a short life span, the days before ovulation are more favorable for conception, since it takes about a day for the sperm to enter the fallopian tube.
Step 2
Determining the date of conception and calculating favorable days for the onset of pregnancy can be done according to the temperature schedule. To do this, for three months in a row during each menstrual cycle, measure the temperature in the rectum and be sure to every day in the morning and evening before going to bed. Write down or draw the results in the form of a curve. On the days when the temperature is higher, the chance of pregnancy is possible.
Step 3
If necessary, you can contact your gynecologist in the middle of the menstrual cycle. He will be able to determine the date of conception with an accuracy of one day, based on the mucus taken from your cervix for analysis.
Step 4
It takes some time for sperm to mature in a man's testicles. Therefore, for the five days before your ovulation, refrain from sexual intercourse with your partner. Thanks to such abstinence, a man will mature a greater number of active sperm, which contributes to an increase in the likelihood of conception.
Step 5
Of course, in the days preceding conception, partners should exclude alcohol intake, which has a destructive effect on the sex cells of partners. You should be careful with other harmful agents and substances such as dyes, varnishes, solvents, medicines.
