How good is your math?

Strange question, right? Well, so many want to get pregnant on or for Christmas Day or Valentine’s Day, or grandma’s birthday, that you really need to be good at math to work it all out.  But, the plain and simple truth is that it depends on your ovulating days.

The best way to work that out is to get an Ovulation Calculator.

You have to get to know your own body. There’s a time phase between ovulation and the start of the period (menstrual cycle) – it’s called the “Luteal Phase”.  It’s about 14 days and the same for most women. First get to know when the due date is for your next period – then count back about 12 to 16 days. This will give you the likely time of ovulation.

This can be checked through the Basal Body Temperature (BBT) technique.  You record your vaginal temperature every morning with a BBT thermometer (it has a fine calibration to see differences easier).  Your temperature is usually higher on the day of ovulation.

Each month, an egg starts getting ready for release from the end of your period, and at about 8 to 12 days, its ready. So, a good chance is to have sex on the 8th, 10th and 12th days – it’s a real effective time to get pregnant. The problem is that the egg only has a lifespan of about 12-16 hours, unless it gets fertilised. (There’s some disagreement here, but I’ll go with the fertility experts!)

Ok guys, now it’s your turn to perform… (or not…)  Guys like to think they can have sex morning noon and night and be a stud.  Sorry guys, moderation in everything is the key to getting your lady pregnant, and showing how much of a procreating stud you are.  Seriously, if you have sex frequently, the sperm count is generally lower, as is their strength – they may not swim to the egg in time, or survive nature’s challenges so that only the strongest sperm gets to the egg.

On the other hand, if you don’t have sex for a while, the sperm can become old and stale – again lacking the vitality to survive and get to the egg. Most experts agree – twice a week is best for getting pregnant.

Whilst the egg only survives for a matter of hours, the sperm, on the other hand, can live on for 2 to 5 days inside the vagina and uterus.  Best to start the pregnancy sex routine about 2 days BEFORE ovulation is likely to occur, then the day of ovulation, so that there is plenty of healthy sperm available, to get to the egg inside those critical 12-16 hours.

This should work for most couples.  But, don’t be surprised if it takes a couple of months or more – it’s getting the timing right that’s important.
