How to increase the probability of pregnancy

Pregnancy is the waiting time for a small miracle that will change a woman's life beyond recognition. But, unfortunately, not everyone can successfully conceive a child. What determines the likelihood of pregnancy, what means and ways can it be increased? This is exactly what we will talk about.

The first thing that you need to pay attention to if you want to get pregnant quickly - is the menstrual cycle, the beginning of which is usually considered the first day of menstruation. Conditionally it can be divided into three phases:

1. From 1 to 14 day of the cycle - maturation of the egg.

2. 14-16 day - the release of the egg into the fallopian tube (ovulation), where it meets with the sperm.

3. 15-17 day and before the next menstruation passes the phase of the yellow body. At this time, in place of the follicle that "released" the egg, a yellow body appears , and the uterus is going to take the fetus, that is preparing for pregnancy. If it does not come, then menstruation appears.

The highest probability of pregnancy occurs at the time of ovulation, ie from 14 to 16 day of the cycle. But it is known that spermatozoa have the property to live in the body of a woman from 2 to 6 days. Therefore, if a week before ovulation was a sexual act (unprotected), then there is a chance that fertilization will occur. This method is called calendar, that is, women, looking at the days of the cycle, calculate the most favorable (or vice versa) days for conception.

Also, the calendar method is used to protect against unwanted pregnancy. In this case, the safest time is considered to be the first 12 days of the cycle. It was at this time that many women categorically refused to use a condom. But doctors convince patients that the female organism is unpredictable and individual - and therefore it is possible to become pregnant all the days of the menstrual cycle. This is especially true of women who suddenly change - the number of critical days increases or they come a little earlier. Therefore, those who apply this method, you should not rely on the fact that the probability of pregnancy without a condom in the so-called "safe days" is small.

In order to determine the time of release of the egg, you can try to conduct a special calendar in which the basal temperature is recorded. And in pharmacies are sold tests for ovulation, some of them analyze the composition of saliva, which, incidentally, is very convenient to use.

It is not uncommon for many women to take hormonal medications (for the treatment of diseases or contraceptives), leading to a malfunction in the woman's body, after which she can not become pregnant. Therefore, you should cancel the taking of these medicines several months before the planned conception.

To increase the likelihood of pregnancy, you need to ensure that all the necessary vitamins are supplied to the female body . Especially it concerns folic and ascorbic acids and vitamin E, which are contained in leafy green vegetables, carrots, cabbage, beans and bran. But from smoking and alcohol should be abandoned completely. After all, nicotine, entering the body of a woman, prevents the normal maturation of the follicle, and alcohol does not give progesterone stand out in the amount that is necessary for a favorable conception.

Abortion is one of the most difficult gynecological operations. Often, many women, having done it, soon wonder about the possibility of bearing a child. The probability of pregnancy after an abortion depends on a large number of factors. These include the general health and hormonal system of women, heredity, the term of a previous pregnancy, etc. Therefore, some women manage to get pregnant in the shortest time, but others have to wait a few months or even years.
