Conceiving a child: tips and guidelines

Conceiving a child is a very responsible and one of the most important decisions in a person's life. And here everything is not as simple as many people think, since the health of the future baby is predetermined long before conception, and is also largely formed during the development of the fetus. If parents care about the future of their son or daughter, they, first of all, should take care of themselves, since they are the ones who lay the basic foundation, which in the future will become the basis for the normal development of the baby. Even if you are completely healthy, you should definitely get advice from a doctor (just in case).

Conceiving a Child: Preparation

The first thing that is required from future parents if they decide to have a child is to refuse any type of contraceptives. Moreover, if the means of protection were non-hormonal, then there are no time limits. But if you took various types of pills, there is no point in thinking about conception during the next menstrual cycle. Many doctors claim that hormones can have a negative effect on the reproductive system of the future little person. But, as experts note, such deviations are not a pattern and occur, fortunately not so often.

In addition, conceiving a child requires that the parents are healthy. It is necessary to give up both alcohol and smoking in advance. This applies equally to both women and men. It is also very important to lose as much excess weight as possible, especially for women, since excess fat deposits interfere not only with the process of conception, but also with the normal development of the fetus.

It is not necessary to adhere to a specific regime (especially a strict one), and it is also not necessary to increase sexual contacts, since frequent sex decreases, and does not increase, as many mistakenly believe, the chances of getting pregnant. The reason is that multiple sexual contacts significantly reduce the number of male spermatozoa each time. Simply put, the man's body simply does not have time to produce new semen.

Conceiving a Child: Determining the Day of Ovulation

It is very important for future parents to remember the need to follow all the recommendations that were prescribed by the doctor. However, it is also worth remembering that even if all the instructions are followed, the chance of conceiving a child is only 25 percent. Many people mistakenly begin to worry about this fact. But doctors reassure future parents - there is nothing supernatural about this, it is an absolutely normal and natural phenomenon. Only after a year of unsuccessful attempts should you contact a specialist for an individual consultation.

So, let's get back to the original question - how to determine the day of ovulation? Everything is very simple here - every day (in the morning) you need to measure the temperature directly in the rectum. On normal days it will be slightly below 37 degrees, but on the day of the egg's release it should rise. The standard jump is half a degree.

But what about the age of the future parents? It is advisable for a woman to give birth to her first child before the age of 30, since it is during this period that the body of the future mother is most predisposed to bearing a fetus. After 35 years, the possibility of difficulties not only with bearing a child, but also with the possibility of conceiving it, cannot be ruled out.

For men, everything is much simpler, since high sperm activity remains until the age of 45, and for many even later. Some representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to become fathers even after 60 years. So, conceiving a child is not a problem for a healthy man of any age.
