When the call of motherhood knocks on your door, from that moment you only think about getting pregnant. You are dumbfounded looking at the babies in the street and when you have in your arms outside children you long for the moment to hug yours.
But as there are those who get pregnant at first, for others it is not so simple or that fast. Pay attention to these recommendations to achieve pregnancy and keep them in mind if you are thinking about becoming a mother or enlarging the family.
Recognize your fertile period
It is essential that women know how to recognize their fertile days, that is, those days of the month you can conceive.
The women's cycle usually covers 28 or 30 days, being the central days, on the 14th or 15th counted from the first day of menstruation. These are the days when ovulation occurs, when the ovary releases a mature egg that descends through the fallopian tubes. These days, as well as a couple of previous days and a couple of days later are conducive to getting pregnant.
If you have relationships the days before ovulation, sperm can live inside a woman's body for 48 to 72 hours, so they can wait for the egg to fertilize it. On the other hand, ovulation lasts two or three days, therefore fertilization can occur in those days.
Not all women have regular cycles, so they find it difficult to identify the days of maximum fertility. There's also physical signs that help you recognize them, such as basal temperature, that is, body temperature upon waking, and the appearance of vaginal discharge whose texture varies depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle.
Daily sex
Another concern is how many times to make love to get pregnant There is a belief that it is better to "endure" several days to achieve a better sperm concentration, but it is a false myth. Specialists recommend making love every day as frequent ejaculations increase the quality and fertility of semen by reducing damage and mutations in your DNA.
As we said before, there are those who become pregnant at first, but it is not usual. Believe it or not, there have also been studies on the subject that ensure that you have to make love an average of 104 times to conceive a baby.
It does not need to be strictly daily, as far as possible, of course. WHO recommends that to increase the chances of having a child, the optimal withdrawal time is between 2 and 7 days.
Of course, the important thing is to have relationships during the fertile days. Otherwise, no matter how much you practice daily, without ovulation there will be no pregnancy.
The most effective sexual positions
At the time of the sexual positions you must choose those that favor the conception of the baby. These are what allow the sperm to be as close as possible to the cervix and in which gravity plays in favor, such as that of the missionary (the man above the woman), the position of the prayer (the man behind or above the woman) and lying on his side with the man behind the woman.
There are also those who say that lying with your legs elevated after intercourse makes it easier for sperm to begin their journey through the uterus. It is not scientifically proven but nothing is lost by trying.
When despite all the pregnancy does not arrive
Even though in spite of all these recommendations pregnancy does not arrive, most couples begin to despair. There are even couples that already having a child, the second (or the third) takes to arrive.
But don't have to get obsessed in the search for pregnancy, it can end up playing against. Keep in mind that factors such as stress, fatigue and anxiety can alter a woman's periods and make pregnancy difficult.
It is considered normal to take a year to get pregnant. There is a 90% chance of becoming pregnant in one year and 95% in two, but this does not mean that you have to wait two years.
When they have had sexual intercourse frequently for more than a year and pregnancy has not been achieved, it is time to consult the specialist to find the cause of infertility, if any.
