Why Is Timing So Important?

Or let’s put it another way – how good is your maths?

It’s very romantic to dream of conceiving at Christmas, Valentine’s Day and so on, but, the reality is down to your own body clock.  You’ve already seen that an egg can survive for only 12 to 16 hours unless it’s been fertilised by sperm.  So, how do you work out exactly when it’s “time” to go conceive?  You need to know your day of ovulation.

Go get an Ovulation Calculator and also a BBT thermometer (finely calibrated so you can see differences easily).

The luteal phase comes between ovulation and the start of the period (menstrual cycle) and usually lasts for about 14 days (easy to calculate if you’re on a regular 28 day cycle).  If you know when the due date is for your next period – then all you do is count back about 12 to 16 days and this will give you the most likely day when you’re ovulation begins.

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.

From the moment your period ends, another egg prepares itself, taking those 8-12 days to get so it’s mature enough to be released.  So, a good chance is to have sex is on day 8, day 10 and dayy 12 if you want to get pregnant.  You already know about the critical 12-16 hour time frame – you need to take action around that time to have the best chances of conceiving that month.

ACTION TIME!  There’s a myth that to be a stud, men have to perform morning, noon and night.  The thing is moderation in everything is the key to getting a woman pregnant.  If you have sex too frequently, the sperm count gets lower with each ejaculation and often weaker too.  There’s a chance that they don’t survive nature’s challenges to get to the egg.

On the flip side, if you don’t have sex for several days leading up to ovulation day, the sperm can become old and stale – often again being able to survive to reach the egg.  Most experts now tend to agree – twice a week sex is best for getting pregnant.

Remember, the egg only survives for a matter of hours, but the sperm can survive for 2 to 5 days inside a woman’s vagina and uterus.  This is why it’s best to go for days 8, 10 and 12 so that strong healthy sperm have the best possible chance to fertilise the egg around the time of ovulation.

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.
