Women can get pregnant within 3 days before and after ovulation

As we all know, a newborn baby develops from a fertilized egg, which is formed by the combination of sperm and egg. Due to the differences in the physiological structure of men and women, women have a stronger dominant position in the timing of pregnancy. The time is mainly divided into before ovulation and after ovulation, because it depends on whether the woman produces an egg that can combine with sperm. So if we look at it from two aspects, whether we want a baby or want to prevent pregnancy, we should fully understand the ovulation period. So does it mean that you won’t get pregnant before ovulation? Let’s find out together.

Will I definitely get pregnant on the day of ovulation?

Women will have several days of ovulation in a month. This is the normal physiological law of women and a basic requirement for fertility. If a woman does not ovulate, there will be no eggs to combine with the male sperm, and thus normal conception will not be possible.

Under normal circumstances, the ovaries of women of childbearing age will release a mature egg every month, so if a woman has sex during this period, the chances of pregnancy will be greater. However, successful conception is not guaranteed. If there are any factors that affect normal conception, you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. This ensures that the ovulation period is normal, and only in this way can successful conception occur.

The average survival time of sperm in the female reproductive tract after being released from the body is: 0.5 to 2.5 hours in the vagina, 48 hours in the cervix, 24 hours in the uterus, and 48 hours in the fallopian tube. An egg is released from the ovary and survives in the fallopian tube for about 12 to 16 hours. Fertilization occurs in the cumulus of the fallopian tube or nearby. Although some chemotactic factors stimulated by the egg after ovulation will accelerate the movement of sperm, if the sperm starts running again after ovulation, it will definitely lose many chances of conception.

Experts recommend: Sperm should start running early, that is, have sexual intercourse every two days a week before ovulation, so that sperm can reach the fallopian tube and meet the egg early or on time. Studies have reported that this method of sexual intercourse has a significantly higher pregnancy rate than sexual intercourse after ovulation.

How to get pregnant during ovulation

1. Correctly calculate your ovulation period. For women with normal menstrual cycles, the ovulation period is generally about fourteen days before the next menstruation. That is, if a person's menstrual cycle is 28 days, starting from the first day of menstruation, the 28th day is the next cycle, and counting 14 days before the 28th day is the ovulation period. During ovulation, sperm can survive in the female body for three days, so the chances of conception are greater during sexual intercourse.

2. Before conception, both men and women should pay attention to their living habits and maintain good physical condition to ensure the health of their offspring. 3-5 months before preparing to conceive, you should smoke less and drink less, eat more bean foods in your daily life, and get enough vitamins. You can eat more tofu, soy milk, fish soup, etc. These foods are beneficial to women's endocrine. At the same time, we should strengthen physical exercise and maintain a regular schedule.

3. When a man and a woman have sex, the best position is with the man on top and the woman on the bottom. Women can put pillows under their hips to raise their hips. This will help men maintain ejaculation for three minutes, allowing more sperm to flow to the cervix and increase the chance of entering the uterus.

4. After conception, women should stay away from places with severe pollution and radiation, replenish nutrition in time, breathe fresh air, and maintain a good physical and mental state, so that the health of the baby can be guaranteed.
