Have you dreamed of a child for a long time, but the test does not show the coveted stripe? Have you often started to think about infertility? Do not rush to seek help for reproductive technology. Maybe you should not dig so deep, maybe the cause is on the surface.
In our time, there are many different misconceptions and myths at the expense of conception. Now you will find out what is a myth and what is true.
Myth number 1. The menstrual cycle lasts 4 weeks.
Really . In fact, 80% of women have a cycle longer and shorter, only in some women, very rarely it is 28 days. Most of the fairer sexes survive a cycle of 24 to 36 days.
Myth number 2. Ovulation happens at the end of the second week.
True. Ovulation occurs every month in different ways. Even if your cycle cycle, you still can not be responsible for how the ovaries work. Moreover, diseases, sleep problems and stress also affect the time of ovulation.
Pay attention to the fact that the egg is free to mature later or earlier than we think, a woman who wants to become pregnant must know all the physiological signs indicating the onset of the fertile period and act on the circumstances. Few can distinguish between the signals of her body, and this is not very good.
Myth number 3. There are days in which it is impossible to become pregnant.
True. You can get pregnant on any day, even if you have a month. Naturally, on some days the success of this is unlikely, but it is quite difficult to find out what kind of days it is. And remember that a low probability - this does not mean that it is not at all. It is because of this that there are so many unwanted pregnancies that were conceived in the so-called "safe" days.
Myth number 4. The woman "answers" for the sex of the child.
True. Men of some countries accuse women of having a child of the "wrong sex". But in fact, scientists have not confirmed this by the science, the opposite has been proved - for the sex of the child there are male chromosomes. Therefore, men who want this or that sex of the child must understand that it is senseless to ask about this woman, because she is absolutely powerless in this regard. This is due to the fact that who will be born depends on the set of sex chromosomes formed by the spermatozoon during the fertilization of the oocyte. The female chromosome is always X, but the male chromosome can be both Y and X. This means that if the sperm X fertilizes the oocyte, then you will have a milk , and if Y is a son.
Myth number 5. If you become sex in the position of birch, then the possibility of conception will increase significantly.
Really . Of course, here there is some part of the truth, it will be easier for some spermatozoa to reach a certain position in this position. But basically this position is not grounded in any way, because when you get into a woman, you get a million spermatozoa and thus try to catch the "fugitives" does not make sense.
Myth number 6. If you want to have a baby, then you need to make love as often as possible.
Really . Viable spermatozoids fully mature only after the expiry of about 48 hours. If you often try to conceive a baby, for example, a couple of times a day, the spermatozoa simply will not be able to mature, and hence the probability of fertilization of the cell decreases. A very high probability of pregnancy is noted only for several special days during the month: first of all, the day of ovulation, 1-2 days after and 1-2 days before ovulation (there are cases when the probability of conception is increased 6-7 days before the time of ovulation) . In the remaining days, of course, it becomes possible to conceive, but the chances are getting smaller.
How to determine when ovulation will occur? To do this, you can pass a special test, for example, an accurate Clearblue digital test. With 99% accuracy, it is possible to find out when the level of the hormone LH increases, and this usually happens within 24-36 hours of the onset of ovulation.
Myth number 7. Perfect sexual intercourse completely protects against pregnancy.
True. In fact, this is a delusion. Studies have shown that the lubricant, which is released by pripolovom intercourse, contains a certain amount of spermatozoa, and believe me, for some time they are enough to conceive a baby.
Myth number 8. When you feed your baby with a breast, you can not conceive.
True. Such a confirmation appeared on the basis of the fact that when a woman feeds a baby with a breast, Une begins to slow the recovery of the menstrual cycle. But it should be noted that the first ovulation occurs before the menstrual cycle is renewed, which means that it is necessary to use contraceptives.
Myth number 9. Measurement is the best way to determine ovulation.
Really . To conduct a graph of basal temperature is very difficult and unpleasant. And moreover, it can not deliver you the exact result, because in addition to ovulation, the temperature can rise due to many reasons - it can be drinking alcohol, restless sleep or simply drinking hot drinks. Before ovulation, 20% of women do not have a fever. There is a more reliable and effective method of how to calculate favorable days - these are tests that can help determine the onset of ovulation.
Myth number 10. Oral contraceptives after taking for a long time retain their effect.
True. It's a delusion. If after 7 days you do not come to receive the next packing of tablets, then it is very likely that you can quickly become pregnant. Such pills can suppress ovulation, so if you stop taking them or skip one time, you can be sure that you will not get 100% protection.
Myth number 11. The first sexual intercourse can not become pregnant.
Really . There is a commonplace that conception is impossible on first contact, but this is not true. Even if you make love for the first time, then there is a chance that you will get pregnant. If you have a different goal, then choose your own contraceptive that suits you.
Myth number 12. If a woman does not experience orgasm, then she does not become pregnant.
True. In fact, this is not proven, many couples are doing well in this regard, but the necessity of a woman's orgasm is in question. You can say for sure that for pregnancy, you need a male orgasm.
Myth number 13. For a good life conditions of sperm, a man must keep his feet in a cold.
True. In fact, a man must create for himself a certain temperature regime. There are things that interfere with spermatozoa normally exist - these are baths, hot baths, tight underwear, and warm clothing. But this does not mean that men should run in the snow or turn off hot water in the house.
Myth number 14. If you can not get pregnant for three months, then you have problems with health or you are infertile.
True. This is not true. Medical statistics show that most couples can conceive a child from the first and even not from the second attempt. For a good result, on average, five, or even more, are required. Only after 12 months of trying, you can begin to worry and turn to the doctor for diagnosis of reproductive health.
Myth number 15. Some products reduce the likelihood of conception.
True. Many say that if you eat peppermint, the possibility of pregnancy decreases. Yes, it can happen, but only when you use Mojito, because alcohol and mint are consumed, and alcohol reduces the probability of conception by 40%.
Myth number 16. Kama Sutra is able to get pregnant.
Really . Theoretically, some poses are capable of assisting the child's engagement, but there is no direct evidence for this. Sexologists admit the fact that some poses and the truth can contribute to a positive result, but only if they are used in the form of an exciting factor, an additional stimulant. It is in the case when the partner is experiencing passion, the probability of pregnancy is much higher.
Myth number 17.If after sex take a horizontal position, then the probability of conception is increased.
Really . This is really true truth. So you can save more sperm in the vagina, but if you immediately get up, you can also get pregnant.
