In part of this article series, we're going to take a look one of the most basic ways to get pregnant...
love making and how it can effect your fertility and ability to conceive.
We're also going to take a look at some other factors involved in conception and how you can use them to your advantage.
Now to the fun stuff! ;) Make love frequently.
The more you do, the more likely it is that you will have intercourse on your fertile days.
According to experts in infertility, one of the most common causes of infertility is infrequent sex at the best time of the cycle.
Sperm counts are slightly lower if a man has frequent sex, but since each ejaculation contains millions of sperm, his ability to produce sufficient sperm will not be affected.
Relax - Enjoy the Intimacy! Ok, let's get down to the basics.
Men should have sex every 48 hours for optimal results.
This will keep the sperm new and healthy, and will keep the sperm count high.
More frequent ejaculations mean a lower sperm count.
The frequency of intercourse, ideally, should be whatever is most enjoyable to the couple.
But when ovulation should be taking place (and women will know this from our discussion above), every other day is best.
Intercourse every 48 hours keeps sperm along the course of the fallopian tube ready for contact with the egg as it makes its descent from the ovary towards the uterus.
Remember, don't try too hard! Ejaculating more than twice a day can be harmful to male fertility.
It takes time for sperm levels to rise again after ejaculation has occurred.
Keeping the every-other-day suggestion in mind, do what makes you feel happy and loved.
Most personal lubricants destroy sperm.
Personal lubricants and saliva affect the motility of sperm, so these substances disable the functionality of the sperm.
Fellatio is not advisable prior to intercourse if you are trying to conceive.
Also NOT recommended are such lubricants as petroleum jelly, K-Y Jelly or vaginal creams.
Pre-seed is a popular, sperm-friendly personal lubricant that can be purchased on many different sites.
Make sure to elevate your hips after sex to assist the sperm in their journey toward the Fallopian tube and the egg.
Allow 30 minutes for this exercise - pick a couple of pillows decorated with hearts and flowers, so that you'll always grab the same ones.
Positions during intercourse should not really be too critical for conception.
If fertility has been a problem, however, one position minimizes loss of semen and maximizes contact of the cervix with the seminal pool inside the vagina.
This position has the woman lying on her side after making love, knees brought up towards her chest.
Also, the woman should minimize trips to the bathroom following making love.
The feeling of having to urinate should pass as you lay back and rest.
This is a lovely opportunity to enjoy your partner, talking or taking a nap together (afternoon delight on week-ends is a great way to conceive a child!) Most couples who are trying for a baby have the best results with the male superior position, followed by pillowing the woman's hips after wards.
And don't be upset if it seems that a lot of sperm leaks out after sex.
That just means that even more sperm are inside the woman's body, swimming towards the egg.
If couple has experienced a problem pregnancy in the past, a careful medical review should be undertaken to understand how the woman's body reacts to pregnancy.
Approximately one in five women have undetected miscarriages that are passed off as heavy periods.
Most of these women go on to have normal periods the next time around.
It's important to keep in mind that there may be an easily correctible reason for a prior miscarriage, like having poor blood glucose control or being exposed to a potentially harmful medication.
Infections may be harmful to both the mother and the baby, even to the point of causing birth defects.
Some serious infections may be prevented with vaccinations before attempts to conceive a child.
Even if immunizations were received as a child, the mother-to-be may be advised to repeat some of them.
Blood tests can check the prospective parents' immunity to some diseases.
A period of three months between most immunizations and conception should elapse to insure safety for mother and the baby to come.
