When you want to enter the world of parenting, you should be aware of few simple things to make your way easier. Following lines will increase your awareness and help you to understand your body better, so you can bypass the obstacles many people face. Here’s what to do when trying to get pregnant:
Understand Your Menstrual Cycle and Timing of Your Intercourse
Understanding your menstrual cycle is one of the very important things when you’re trying to get pregnant. Not all women have the same length of their cycle. For those who have 28 day cycle, they can expect to ovulate on day 14 (as ovulation usually occurs 14 days before the period) so they should have sex between day 12 and day 15 to improve their chances of conception. Usually, ovulation time will vary. For example, if your period is only 25 days apart, you can expect your ovulation on day 11 (25-14) so the best time to have sex for you will be between day 9 and day 13. If your periods are longer – like 35 days apart – you can expect ovulation around day 21 (35-14) so the best time to make love for you will be between day 19 and 22. Even though it is harder for those women who have irregular periods to guess when the ovulation will occur there’re other ways to discover it.
Understand Your Signs of Ovulation
Like it is said in the previous paragraph, calculation by watching your calendar can give you the approximate date of your ovulation. But sometimes, you can’t be sure when it will occur, so you have to look for other ways. There’re few thing you can check:
Check if your vaginal fluids are increased
Before and during these days of ovulation, your mucus will become heavier, thinner, clearer and stretchy.
Check your cervix
When you’re ovulating, your cervix is slightly open and softer than when you’re not ovulating.
Notice physical signs
Some women will experience sharp pains in their abdomen, but they also can experience other physical signs like headaches, bloating and increased breasts sensitivity.
Understand Your Environment
Many people will look only for physical changes and problems not paying attention on the environment they’re spending their time in. Environment where you spend most of your time has a great impact on you, especially when you’re trying to get pregnant. Before you decide to conceive a baby, prepare your body as much as you can. Are you spending your time in a stressful surrounding? Are you exposed to a lot of chemicals including your cosmetics, air fresheners, deodorants? Are you spending your time in smoky rooms? Be sure to get rid of all artificial products ESPECIALLY food and drinks you are consuming. You should also pay attention to your mindset. Avoid negative people and choose calming thoughts! Laugh as much as you can!
What to do after the sex
When you prepared yourself with all the right information about what to get rid of and what to do in order to improve your chances of conception, you should know a few simple things more. OK, we would not talk here about HOW to have sex, as it is up to you, but after your intercourse you should lie still for a while. Avoid going to the bathroom for at least 30 minutes after having sex. You want to let the sperm of your partner to do its job. Also, make yourself comfortable and put the pillow under your hips to help sperm go in the right direction.
In lines above, you have learned to understand your menstrual cycle and ovulation and environment better in order to make your conception easier. You also discovered how one little pillow can help the process.
