The second week of pregnancy - the process of work is in full swing. And among the thousands of eggs, there is already a "leader". In most cases - this is the only egg that is located in a special bubble filled with liquid. By the end of the second week of pregnancy, this vial (graafov) increases so much that it can rise above the surface of the ovary. The whole process - the preparation for ovulation - the process of rupture of the graafovaya bubble and the movement of the egg into the abdominal cavity.
Processes occurring in women.
Next, the egg moves to the fallopian tube and there she can meet the sperm. And at the former location of the graafovaya bubble formed yellow body. It is worth remembering this name. The yellow body is required for the hormonal support of pregnancy, which is why it is very important. And this yellow body is the "culprit" of early toxicosis, which occurs in pregnant women quite often.
Most likely, next week will be ovulation (less likely that at the end of the week). Some women feel ovulation, it can manifest as a unilateral pain in the abdomen. In addition, you can learn about it by measuring the basal temperature - the temperature in the rectum. But basically it is not necessary. Just need to know that the end of the second week - the beginning of the third, to count from the first day of the last menstruation - this is the most suitable for the conception of the days.
Some important points.
It is best that there is a 2 or 3-day break in sexual activity before this period. This will help your half to "collect" the necessary amount of sperm. Although, it is worth noting that for most couples this is not necessary.
Immediately before sexual intercourse, which is aimed at conception, it is better not to carry out procedures associated with the toilet of female genitalia, using drugs that change the acidity of the vagina. This especially applies to douching. It will be enough just to conduct the usual procedures. Studies have shown: spermatozoa are very sensitive to the chemical composition of the environment - where they fall - even simple saliva causes their death.
The most favorable position for conceiving a child is "missionary" - on top of a man, and also knee-elbow - the man is behind. The chances of getting pregnant are increased if the woman remains lying for another 20 - 30 minutes after the ejaculation occurred. In this case, it is better to raise the pelvic area slightly (you can put a pincushion under your waist).
How to conceive a child of the desired sex?
In general, in this issue everything is decided by Nature. And the "pure" probability of the birth of a certain gender of the baby for girls and boys is 1: 1, that is 50%. At the present time, a lot of information is spread about ways to deceive Mother Nature. Such methods include special diets, magic, calculations of astrologers and many more. Maybe some can raise or lower the probability, but only a few percent.
The most effective can be learned from the book of J. Martin Young "How to conceive a boy." At least, he honestly says that the chances that his technology provides are modest. The technique of dividing the "girls" and "boys" spermatozoa by means of ultracentrifugation can give the highest chances of the necessary conception. But if you turn to this method, you exclude the possibility of natural conception.
The need for a serious discussion of this problem appears extremely rare (for example, when hereditary diseases appear that are manifested only depending on the sex of the person). In all other aspects, the sexual problem does not arise so sharply. And therefore, if you liked any of the above innocuous methods - you can experience. Yes, and this can be quite interesting.
Visit a geneticist.
The second week of pregnancy is the right time to visit a doctor - genetics (if you have not been there before). A thorough study of your heredity and family history can help in making a prediction for the fetus and developing a plan for modern diagnostics of possible problems associated with its development. In addition, learn about perikontseptionnoy prevention.
