Days to Get Pregnant:
the BEST Conception Tips

The birth of a child heralds the highest fountain of delight in a couple’s life, no matter if they are rich or poor. But this baby boom appears to have taken a back seat through the contemporary years on account of a number of probable factors that are discussed below.


1.   Women these days seem to be reluctant in ushering in a new life into this economically devastated planet till they find themselves financially self-dependant. This, as may well be appreciated, takes time when chances of conception falls much below than what would have happened when they were comparatively younger (say, 20 – 22 years of age). With each passing year, a woman’s fertility goes down, initially at a lower rate but galloping after she reaches 37.


2.   On the other side of the picture stand men who are not in favor of having a baby early in life like before, or worst still, do not intend to tie the knot at all. Fear of losing a job, survival of the fittest and many other depressing factors rule the roost.


3.   Added on to that are the increasing number of diseases that have affected the female fertility now which includes high degree of incidence of uterine fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome, hypothalamic amenorrhea, lack of ovulation and many more unaccountable female infertility factors.

Conceptions therefore, are becoming more elusive these days and in any case, couples only have a 20% chance of producing a child under the best of conditions. Fertility gurus, in their bid to save the situation have pin pointed the fertility factors in a woman in a constructive way so that couples trying to achieve conception can do so now with more positive results than before.

Do you know the days to get pregnant?

If a woman wishes to know the days to get pregnant, at least when she has the best chance, she has to know a bit about her own reproductive system and how it functions. As a matter of fact, the chances of getting pregnant are the highest when she ovulates. Although the menstrual cycle varies from one woman to another, the average ranges from 28 to 32 days. For a typical case, ovulation will occur around 11 to 21 days after the first day she starts menstruating . Alternatively, one may count on the day when her next period is due. Computing back 12 to 16 days from that date gives an approximate idea when she will ovulate.

One may also figure out the ovulation day with the help of BBT or the Body Basal Temperature technique through a specially calibrated BBT thermometer which will indicate a higher vaginal temperature on that day, as compared to other non-ovulating days. Checking the vaginal mucus consistency is yet another method of figuring out the time of ovulation in most females. The mucus which is mostly thick in normal days will begin to thin out as the woman reaches her ovulation time. Mother Nature has purposely helped change the nature of the mucus so that the sperm injected by the male into the woman’s vaginal canal can begin its smooth journey to the uterus, utilizing that easy medium.

Once the day of ovulation has been successfully determined, half the battle is won. However, there is a note of caution here. Although an egg is available for fertilization by the sperm in the female body, it has a very limited time span for getting it done. The precious egg can survive only for 12 to 24 hours in a normal cycle when it must meet healthy spermatozoa to create pregnancy. Fortunately for us, the egg may have a poor lifespan, but the male sperm survives for 3 to 4 days to fulfill its duty in fertilizing the egg successfully. So, experts suggest that intercourse done a couple of days prior to the date of ovulation may ensure pregnancy most.

But knowing the days to get pregnant may not be enough, particularly for a couple that is having problems. What the couple needs is treatment and this is where holistic remedies can help. The holistic approach first finds out the real cause of the problem and then suggests a remedy that can be Chinese medications, herbs, exercise, diet and lifestyle changes and even acupuncture. Holistic remedies have proved to be the most successful to cure infertility problems in many and it works much better than the conventional approach.
