How to arrange sex when preparing for pregnancy?

Today's young couples have more advanced ideas and they all know that they need to prepare for pregnancy in advance. Before preparing for pregnancy, they must go to the hospital for a detailed pre-pregnancy check-up. If both husband and wife check together and ensure that they are in good health, they can start preparing for pregnancy. During the pregnancy preparation stage, you must pay attention to physical conditioning, such as not smoking or drinking, not drinking strong coffee often, not staying up late, etc. So how can you have sex to increase the pregnancy rate during the pregnancy preparation stage?

How to arrange sex when preparing for pregnancy?

For many friends who want to have children, there are many issues that need to be paid attention to in life. Among them, the most embarrassing one is the issue of having sex during pregnancy preparation. I believe that many female friends are also very concerned about this issue. After all, everyone wants to have a healthy baby. However, many friends also said that they always failed to get pregnant, even when having sex during the ovulation period. So how should you arrange sex during pregnancy preparation?

How to arrange sex during pregnancy preparation

Theoretically, sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to 72 hours. In this way, if you have sex 3 days before ovulation, you may get pregnant. But in fact, the time that sperm survives in the female reproductive tract depends on the environment in the female reproductive tract. If the reproductive tract has unfavorable acidity and alkalinity and microorganisms, it may affect sperm motility and survival time, thereby affecting fertilization ability.

The lifespan of an egg is not long. After being released, the egg survives for an average of 12 to 24 hours, waiting to be fertilized by sperm. If the egg does not meet the sperm, or if it meets the sperm but is not fertilized, it will dissolve and be absorbed on its own. So in total, the three days before ovulation to one day after ovulation are the golden times for having sex.

How to monitor ovulation during pregnancy preparation

1. Basal body temperature monitoring. Basal body temperature refers to the body temperature when you are inactive in the early morning. It is relatively low before ovulation and increases significantly by about 0.2 to 0.5°C after ovulation, and continues until the onset of menstruation. BBT is biphasic, indicating ovulation. It does not occur in menopausal women or women who have had their ovaries removed. BBT is monophasic: indicating that ovulation may not occur.

2. Cervical mucus monitoring. In the first half of the menstrual cycle, the cervix does not secrete mucus and the vulva is very dry. After this, the cervix secretes a small amount of thick, opaque mucus. Just before ovulation, with the appearance of the estrogen peak, the cervical mucus becomes thinner, transparent, and clear, and the amount also increases. This is called fertile mucus.

3. Ultrasound imaging monitoring (B-ultrasound) generally starts on the 10th day of the menstrual cycle to observe changes in the diameter of the follicles. The diameter of the follicles increases by an average of about 3mm per day in the 4 days before ovulation. The follicles mature to about 17-25mm before ovulation and disappear after ovulation. Continuous monitoring shows that the follicles continue to grow before ovulation. When the largest follicle disappears, ovulation occurs.

4. Test paper method. There are ovulation test strips on the market that you can buy and do the test yourself. Place the test strip in your urine. If two red lines appear in the "small window" of the test strip, it means ovulation is about to occur. This method requires multiple consecutive tests.

In fact, if female friends are in the stage of preparing for pregnancy, they must also observe whether their menstrual cycle is regular. This is also very important for normal pregnancy preparation. In addition, there are many issues that need attention in diet and daily life, so it is recommended that everyone should learn more about these situations. In fact, preparing for pregnancy itself is relatively simple, but the pregnancy process is relatively complicated, so it is recommended that everyone maintain a good mental state. This issue is very critical.
