How to calculate the best and most favorable days for conception

Do not put off the child for later 🙂

Mentally for the appearance of the baby, young parents begin to prepare, probably already at the wedding table. Why is a family being created, if not for procreation? Some even before the wedding specify who they want: a boy or a girl. But what is surprising when no signs of pregnancy appear.

This article is for those who are expecting pregnancy as a miracle, but for some reason it does not occur.In such cases, usually a young woman goes to the doctor. She wants to know how to get pregnant? How to calculate the best days for conception?

To the doctor - together!

Most often, a spouse is also invited to the antenatal clinic. You need to go there together, as you used to go to the registry office. The gynecologist, of course, will tell you how to calculate the most favorable days for conceiving a baby. But before that they will collect an anamnesis (anamnesis – the totality of information obtained during a medical examination by questioning the person being examined and / or those who know him. The study of history, as well as the questioning in general, is not just a list of questions and answers to them. The psychological compatibility that largely determines the ultimate goal - alleviation of the patient’s condition, depends on the style of conversation between the doctor and the patient) - they will find out when and how both spouses were sick. After conducting the necessary research, they will give recommendations.

Doctors believe that it takes six months to prepare for conception. For half a year, the female body must grow stronger in order to bear a healthy child. The man’s body, strange as it may seem, also needs to be prepared.

Vitaminization - first of all!

Even if the couple is healthy, the man and woman will be prescribed vitamins. Both of them are the same. Folic acid, vitamins A, E, C; prescribe zinc and selenium.

You ask: why?

The same restorative drugs act on the male and female body in different ways.

• Folic acid, which is called the "pregnancy vitamin." In women, before conception, it promotes egg maturation. In men, quality sperm. However, a woman will drink this vitamin until the end of pregnancy. A man can be stopped with the successful onset of conception.
• Vitamin A in men causes sexual desire and improves sperm quality. An unborn baby needs vitamin A for the eye. But usually doctors are not allowed to exceed its dosage.
• "Female Vitamin" E, which is called the vitamin of youth and beauty, takes care of the skin, bones, nails. In men, it promotes sperm maturation.
• Vitamin C is a good stimulant immunity. It will save sperm from free radicals. It is important for women.
• Selenium contributes to the production of sperm and extends their life, not allowing them to die ahead of time.
• Zinc also increases sperm viability. Therefore, it is useful for men for a full conception.
• Vitamins of group B are often prescribed to women on the eve of conception: B6 - contributes to the correct formation of the cerebral cortex in the unborn baby. They should be saturated with the body of the future mother. In addition, in combination with B12 and B1, it positively affects the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal system of the developing fetus. These vitamins should be enough in the body of the expectant mother before conception.
• Vitamin D is useful for both mother and baby. It is necessary for the formation of healthy teeth in the baby. And for the preservation of the teeth of a mother carrying a child under her heart.

When the future parents got stronger, physically and mentally prepared for the appearance of a small family member, you can start calculating the correct day of conception of the first-born.

Methods for determining the best days for conception

• calendar
• vaginal
• ultrasonic
• test
• calculator
• folk

Calendar method

The first way you will probably be offered in the antenatal clinic. It consists in maintaining a female calendar. But this must be done punctually, in the morning, measuring the basal temperature at the same time in the rectum or vagina.

Data is accurately entered into the calendar. On ordinary days, rectal temperature will be 36,6°. Just before ovulation rises to 37°. During ovulation - until 37,2°. After a month, you can draw a curve by connecting the points of values.

The next month, immediately after mensis, we again enter the measurement data into our calendar. It is advisable to continue to measure basal temperature for three consecutive months.

So you determine the length of your menstrual cycle. (Ideally, it is 28 days). And calculate the days of ovulation, when the egg, having matured, enters the fallopian tube. There comes a favorable moment for conception. As soon as your thermometer - it is desirable to use an electronic one - it is more convenient and more accurate - showed 37 °, which means that the favorable time for conception has come. Begin sexual activity.

A cycle shortened to 21 days or extended to 35 days should not be considered a deviation from the norm. In the first case, ovulation, which lasts only two days, will occur on the 6-7-8th days. (The second half for any cycle is 14 days). This is not even known to all gynecologists! And you will know. In the second - on days 20-22. And not on the 10th and 17-18th, as many mistakenly believe, assuming that for any duration of the cycle, ovulation falls exactly in the middle.

We should not forget that several times a year there are cycles without ovulation, when the egg is not formed.

Vaginal method

This method is very simple. An experienced woman always feels ovulation. Vaginal discharge on such days resembles the contents of chicken protein. Slime is as viscous.

There are other signs. The chest swells. The ovary pulls and aches - on the side where the egg is preparing to enter the fallopian tube to meet with the sperm. Sex drive is increasing. So nature itself takes care of procreation.

How to determine the day of ovulation?

Ultrasound scan

One of the accurate methods for determining ovulation days is ultrasound. A woman can always use ultrasound monitoring. It is also called folliculometry.

A highly qualified doctor monitors the entire process of ovarian maturation on the device, starting from the 8-10th day of the menstrual cycle, or immediately after menstruation, every two days. Until the follicle reaches 1.8-2.4 cm during ovulation. But the maturation of the follicle is not a guarantee of pregnancy, since it may not rupture, but continue to increase until it forms a cyst. Normally, follicle rupture is indicated by the presence of fluid from a bursting follicle in the back of the uterus and an increase in progesterone, the formation of a yellow body.

Observing a woman for two to three months, the doctor can name the exact days of ovulation, guided by the characteristic signs on the ultrasound machine. Maybe he can determine the reasons for its absence during the anovulatory cycle.

Using test

You can recommend a test method. You can buy test strips, similar to the strips with which pregnancy is determined, in a pharmacy. Just like strips for pregnancy, they are dipped in urine. Their color will depend on the estrogen content in the body.

You need to monitor this for exactly a week. On anovulatory days, one strip will change color. The day before ovulation, both strips will have an equally bright color. So, the next day you can begin to create the miracle of another small life. He is the best!

This is the method women love to use the most. It is simpler than the basal temperature measurement method and more accurate.

Calculator

Not everyone knows that there is a modern method for determining ovulation with a special calculator. This can be done on the site http://mypreg.ru/index.php?mod=calczachatiya

You can try it. For an accurate determination, you only need to enter the date of the last menstruation, the duration of the monthly cycle and the calculation period. The calculator will do the rest for you.

Suppose that young parents planned the conception of a child in the near future. The woman has a 24-day cycle. The last menstruation was on October 1. We take 3 billing periods: October, November and December.

The calculator gives the following results:

Best days for conception: from October 9 to 17, from November 2 to 10, from November 26 to December 4.

As you can see, in November there are as many as 14 favorable days, use them for conception.

Folk method

This ancient way of determining the most favorable days for conceiving your own child is very simple. The duration of the female cycle is taken and divided exactly in half. For example, a woman has a classic cycle of 28 days. Divide it in half. And add and subtract one day. So, the best days for love will be the days: from the 13th to the 15th.

Sometimes take into account the lunar cycle, which in the life of a woman is important. It is believed that neither at the new moon, nor at the full moon, nor in the last third of the lunar cycle, on the waning moon, it is worthwhile to conceive a child. A rising moon is best suited for this.

Girl or boy?

In anticipation of a child, families think: who will be born, a girl or a boy. Grandmothers are trying to determine this by certain signs. If the belly cone forward: then there will be a boy. If the belly is round, and the hips are plump, then you have to wait for the girl.

Now the sex of the child is determined by ultrasound. Ultrasound is better than any grandmother "sees": whoever hid there in her mother’s tummy.

But in young families where the first-born are waiting, they want to know the sex of the child before he gets into this stomach. They plan the baby in families where there are already children. There is a boy, I want a girl. Or vice versa.
