Trying to Conceive? Master Ovulation Timing and Avoid These Fertility Pitfalls

With the popularization of fertility knowledge, more and more couples preparing for pregnancy know that seizing the ovulation period can greatly increase the probability of pregnancy, that is, if you are ovulating, you will easily get pregnant. However, there are quite a few couples preparing for pregnancy who count their ovulation every month by pinching their little finger, but 1 month, 2 months, 3 months. . . . . more than half a year has passed and they still can’t get pregnant. Why is that?

1. There are two points to pay attention to when grasping the ovulation period

①Pregnancy is easier on ovulation day

Having sex during ovulation is good for pregnancy, but it’s not precise enough. Only if the day of ovulation is found, that is the most fertile day, so it is possible that the day of ovulation has not been found.

②Ovulation is just a moment, seize the opportunity

The normal menstrual cycle of girls is 28-35 days, and ovulation is once per cycle, and usually one. Under the condition of regular menstruation, the ovulation day is generally on the 14th-16th day of the menstrual cycle.

After the eggs are discharged from the ovaries, the survival time is 12 to 24 hours. “Tadpoles” survive in women for 72 hours. You can only wait for the arrival of “tadpoles” in less than a day. If you miss it, you will not be able to conceive. The time of intercourse for easy pregnancy is 3 days before ovulation day to 1 day after ovulation.

2. Five major causes of female infertility

Pregnancy is a complex physiological process in which it is easy to cause infertility to occur as long as there is one obstacle that cannot be overcome.

①Emotional factors: Mood swings during pregnancy preparation are important for the success rate of a good pregnancy. If you stay in negative emotions such as tension and stress for a long time, it can easily lead to endocrine disorders in women, which in turn can affect ovulation, and in severe cases, it can lead to infertility.

②Nutritional factors: Nowadays, the popular aesthetic is based on thinness. This has led many women to try their best to lose weight in order to maintain their figure. Many of them lose weight through dieting. In the long run it causes itself to be malnourished, and chronic malnutrition also affects ovarian function in women. Besides partial eclipse is also a must.

③Disease factors: There are “many diseases that can affect good pregnancy”. If you have “ovulation and don’t get pregnant, the first thing that comes to mind should be fallopian tube disease”. In addition, developmental malformations of reproductive organs, metabolic diseases, diabetes, etc. can all contribute to the development of infertility.

④Ovarian factors: If the ovary itself develops lesions, it will also affect the development of follicles and normal ovulation. For example, polycystic ovaries, ovarian cysts, etc. can affect ovulation and then lead to infertility.

⑤Immune factors: Immune infertility accounts for about 10-30% of infertile patients. Common among them are anti “tadpole” antibodies, in addition to anti-egg antibodies, anti-endometrial antibodies, etc. that hinder good pregnancy.

3. Infertility cannot exclude male factors

Of course infertility cannot rule out the cause of men’s health. If you have not been pregnant for more than a year while preparing for pregnancy, it is recommended that the couple go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to determine the cause of infertility and get pregnant as soon as possible after treatment.

4. Prepare for pregnancy 3 months in advance

To successfully conceive a baby, you need to rely on the joint efforts of both husband and wife to get rid of bad living habits, abstain from smoking and drinking, do not stay up late, and maintain a scientific lifestyle. It is important to have a relaxed, optimistic mindset, not only for the woman but also for the man.
