If you have been trying for pregnancy you can increase the chances if you fully understand how your own body and that of your partners works. There are some pregnancy hacks that can work surprisingly well if so that your chances of conceiving as a high as possible.
First of all understand the basics of sperm and eggs:
- After the egg is released from the ovary it survives for 12 to 24 hours in the uterus. If the sperms are made available around this time pregnancy is possible. This is the time just after ovulation and if the sperms are available in the uterus at this time, the egg will more likely be fertilized in the fallopian tube itself.
- Sperms can survive in the uterus up to six days in the uterus but most probably they will survive for about one to three days. This is the reason you have a greater chance of conceiving if you schedule sex one to three days before ovulation.
These are the pregnancy hacks that can help you get pregnant fast:
- Figuring out your ovulation time. This is the most important of all pregnancy hacks. If your menstrual cycle is regular, counting the days between your periods can help you figure the ovulation dates. To take an example, if your cycle is of 28 days, the fertile period that is the ovulation period is roughly between day 12th and day 16th. This means you can conceive on the 16th and 17th day if you have sex between 12th towards the 16th day, better as closer to the 16th
- Monitoring cervical mucus changes. As you move towards the fertile period, that is, ovulation the cervical mucus changes which indicating your fertile period. It becomes more wet, slippery, thin and clear in appearance. You can figure out on what day during the month does the mucus change and you can have sex accordingly so that you can easily conceive.
- Avoiding ejaculation for 2-3 days before ovulation. Avoiding ejaculation for 2-3 days before the ovulation period can increase the chances of pregnancy. This is because as sex is delayed the sperm count in the semen increases then that would otherwise be. More sperms equates to higher chance of fertilization and a pregnancy success!
- Orgasming during sex. Female orgasm has been studied extensively and many experts believe that the evolutionary purpose of female orgasm is to help achieve fertilization. Orgasm causes rhythmic contractions of the vagina and the uterus which helps to move the sperms inside the uterus and towards the fallopian tubes. Also some alkaline secretions are released which increase the motility of the sperms.
- Choose a sex position that enables deep penetration. This is one of the pregnancy hacks that can make a difference for many. The vagina is slightly acidic and a number of sperms die in the acidic environment of the vagina. When the semen is ejaculated near the cervix the sperms naturally do not have to pass the barrier of acidic walls of the vagina. This prevents sperm loss and also reduces the time of travel for the sperms to reach the egg and thus increases changes of pregnancy. This is how a position which enables deep penetration during sex can help achieve pregnancy.
