Conceiving a Baby
It’s all about your fertile phase
Conceiving a baby needs to be done in the middle of a woman cycle. It is vital to know your body and the way it changes throughout your menstrual cycle. It is also crucial to know certain external signs of being able to conceive. Ovulation can be recognized through the examination of the body temperature that is slightly higher during the ovulation. When taking temperature in the morning it is easy to notice when ovulation begins. Fertility also is evident when mucous is clear. Your temperature needs to be measured when your menstruation ends that marks the beginning of the pre-fertile phase. In the first week following your menstruation and then your pre-fertile phase, there are a few days where the uterus regenerates and eggs in ovaries start to ripen. One of these eggs is released during your ovulation that is your fertile phase. Some women have no pre-fertile phase, and are fertile immediately after they finish their period.
What happens during the fertile phase
During the fertile phase one egg becomes dominant and releases estrogen, while progesterone level is low. Estrogen produces mucous that protects the male sperm, assuring its survival for up to five days. An egg released by a woman survives for up to 24 hours.
Timing ovulation is timing your pregnancy
It is best to have an intercourse three days before your ovulation when you have your most fertile days. Ovulation starts with the release of an egg into the fallopian tube. This egg needs to be fer-tilized within 24 hours if the baby is to be conceived. After this period the egg dies. Some men-strual cycles fluctuate and it may be difficult to establish exactly when ovulation takes place.
When the egg is released there is also a temperature rise that remains sometimes even until your next menstruation. Conceiving a baby needs to be done after your ovulation begins. As this ovu-lation takes place in the afternoon, it is best to have sex in the morning before that.
Post-fertile phase and pregnancy
Following the ovulation, a post-fertile phase lasts for up to two weeks until the next bleeding. It is characterized by a high level of progesterone hormone that decreases when menstruation starts. Only when pregnancy is present its levels remain high. When an egg is fertilized a baby starts to develop. This event can be discovered some time later, and is apparent within the first six weeks after becoming pregnant. During this phase mucous levels drop until the next bleed-ing. Temperature remains high, dropping slowly until your menstruation begins.
Detecting your fertile phase may be more tricky than it seems
Counting days may be insufficient to detect your fertile days that may be only two or three days within your menstrual cycle. It is best to have an intercourse during the fertile phase but it is best if it occurs just before it begins. If a woman has an orgasm before or at the same time during her intercourse it increases the chances of transporting the sperm into the fallopian tubes. Conceiving a baby may require a woman to have sex many times for a few months to be successful. There is only one in five chances of becoming pregnant during unprotected sex in each menstrual cycle.
