The good news is that we have the answers to all of your conception questions! Read on for more information about your fertile window, getting ready for a pregnancy, and the ins and outs of conception sex.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>When am I most fertile?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each month, women have around 6 days that are the best time for them to conceive. These are the five days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. What can be tricky is to figure out exactly when those 6 days will be ahead of time, especially if you aren\u2019t familiar with tracking your cycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping track of your periods and any related symptoms can help you figure out useful patterns that will make conception easier. For example, if your cycles are around 28 days long, ovulation will most likely take place around day 14 of your cycle (ovulation occurs about two weeks <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your next anticipated period). You can then clear your schedule in the days leading up to your anticipated ovulation date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many different ways that you can figure out when you are in your fertile window:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/when-to-take-ovulation-test\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation tests<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: These are similar to home pregnancy sticks, but instead of the pregnancy hormone, they detect another hormone known as luteinizing hormone, or LH. LH is produced right before ovulation occurs. When you get a positive result, you\u2019ll know it\u2019s time to try!<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Insider tip<\/strong>: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2001.00194.x\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most women ovulate 24 hours after the first positive LH test<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Since you are most fertile during the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/12178154\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 \u2013 3 days leading up to ovulation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you shouldn\u2019t wait for a positive LH test to have sex. This might cause you to miss out on some of your most fertile days.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/what-is-basal-body-temperature\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basal body temperature<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This method involves taking your temperature every morning before you get out of bed using a very sensitive thermometer. In the days after ovulation, you may notice a slight, yet sustained\u00a0 rise in your morning temperature, which can confirm that you\u2019ve ovulated.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Insider tip<\/strong>: The problem with this method is that it does not tell you ahead of time when your fertile window is; rather you are just confirming that it has already occurred.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/vaginal-discharge\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cervical mucus<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Your cervical mucus also changes during your fertile time each month. It becomes clearer, thinner, stretchier and more able to carry sperm. Keeping an eye on that mucus can help you figure out when you are fertile and should start having sex.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Insider tip<\/strong>: while tracking your cervical mucus might not seem very precise or scientific, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/humrep\/article\/19\/4\/889\/2913645\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research demonstrates that this is an accurate method for identifying the fertile window<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/ava-publishes-peer-reviewed-clinical-paper\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ava bracelet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This wearable device tracks <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jmir.org\/2019\/4\/e13404\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 physiological signals of fertility<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Worn only at night while you\u2019re sleeping, it is able to automatically identify your fertile window.\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Insider tip: read about Ava&#8217;s peer reviewed clinical study <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/ava-publishes-peer-reviewed-clinical-paper\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What is the best type of baby-making sex?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you may know the mechanics of how to make a baby, you probably have some questions that you might not have thought about before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can we use lube?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some lubricants can actually affect sperm motility and health. But the good news is that there are fertility-friendly lubricants that don\u2019t have this effect! Check out Pre-Seed, which is a vaginal lubricant that is specifically designed for couples trying to conceive. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0015028207005183\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2007 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that Pre-Seed didn\u2019t have any effect on the sperm quality or motility, making it a better choice when trying to conceive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing to keep in mind is that Pre-Seed and other fertility-friendly lubricants don\u2019t actually increase your chances of conceiving above baseline. Rather, these lubricants simply don\u2019t harm sperm. If you usually use lubricants, you should switch to a fertility-friendly version while trying to conceive. If you don\u2019t usually use lubricants, there\u2019s no reason to start now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does the sexual position matter?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nope! Feel free to use whichever position you prefer when trying to conceive. Even better, try switching it up to keep baby-making sex fun and interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How often should we have sex during her fertility window?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/how-often-should-you-have-sex-to-get-pregnant\/\">How often should you have sex to get pregnant<\/a>? The general recommendation is every other day during her fertile window. Every other day works, too, but you might find it hard to keep up!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should the woman lie down afterwards?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no need if you don\u2019t want to! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sperm are ejaculated close to the cervix and travel into the uterus in a very short amount of time. They do this no matter which position a woman is in: lying down, standing up, or even upside down. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, one <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/339\/bmj.b4080.abstract\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2009 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that lying down after intrauterine insemination (a procedure where sperm are injected directly into the uterus through a small catheter) might be helpful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bottom line is that lying down for 10-15 minutes after having sex certainly won\u2019t hurt you chances for conception, but isn\u2019t essential.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does the female orgasm play a role in getting pregnant?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having an orgasm is not a requirement for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/getting-pregnant-mistakes\/\">getting pregnant<\/a>. But feel free to prioritize your orgasm during your next cycle and see if it helps. The worst that can happen is that you enjoy yourself more!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How do I get ready for a pregnancy?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is growing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5098481\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">evidence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that your lifestyle (and that of your partner!) will affect the health of your pregnancy, delivery, and baby. Not only that, but taking a few months to prepare your body can even make it easier to get pregnant when you\u2019re ready.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t worry though \u2013 this doesn\u2019t mean that you have to swear off chocolate, and spend hours in the gym every day. Instead, add lots of fruits and vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, and full fat dairy products to your diet. Don\u2019t forget to start taking a prenatal vitamin or multivitamin with at least 400mcg of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/folic-acid\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">folic acid<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> each day as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t exercise regularly, just try to find a little time each day to move more. Believe it or not, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/exercise-fertility\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exercising too much<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can actually make it more difficult to conceive.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another consideration? Your weight. Being <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/im-really-healthy-except-i-dont-get-my-period-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">underweight<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or overweight can decrease your chances of pregnancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now is also the time to quit smoking and using illegal drugs and start cutting back on drinking alcohol, especially if you are a heavy drinker. You may also want to speak with your healthcare provider about any medications that you take or medical conditions that could affect a pregnancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t forget your partner! Getting him on board with your lifestyle changes and having him start a multi-vitamin a few months before starting to try for a baby can help improve the health of his sperm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Does stress make it harder to conceive?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been trying to get pregnant for a while, you\u2019ve probably had at least one person tell you to \u201cjust relax and it will happen.\u201d You\u2019ve probably also heard that high stress levels can also make it more difficult to get pregnant. Well the good news is that this isn\u2019t completely true!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, extreme physical or psychological stress can make it more difficult to conceive. But the day-to-day stress that we all experience is not likely to cause a problem. If you find yourself getting stressed out or anxious about why it\u2019s not working, remember that it\u2019s okay to really want to have a baby. It\u2019s also important to remember that not conceiving right away doesn\u2019t make you less of a woman, broken, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/pregnancy-obsessed\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pregnancy obsessed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. All it means is that you may need a little help to start your family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, finding ways to manage and reduce stress is always a good thing. Need a few suggestions? Try taking a yoga class, getting a massage, planning some self-care, or grabbing a gorgeous new journal to record your feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>When should we get help?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s important to give it a few months, there may come a time when you should consult with your obstetrician or a fertility expert. In general, women who are under 35 years of age can give it a solid year of trying before reaching out. Women who are older than 35 shouldn\u2019t wait as long and should consider seeing their doctor after 6 months of trying to get pregnant without success.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, there may be situations where it is appropriate to see a doctor before the guidelines recommend. For example, a woman who knows that she has a medical condition affecting her fertility (like PCOS or premature ovarian failure), or a man who knows that he has an issue with his sperm may not want to wait the recommended amount of time. In addition, same sex couples will need to consult with a fertility specialist as soon as they are ready to get started!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you decide that you are ready to conceive, chances are you\u2019re spending a lot [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10020,"featured_media":32870,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[894,772],"tags":[262,87,90,391,5136,88,76,167,400],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.3 (Yoast SEO v18.8) -
