Timing: Ovulation normally occurs 14 days prior to the next period. Recommend starting to have intercourse a few days prior to ovulation &amp; at ovulation (possibly a couple of days after). Can use an ovulation calendar or ovulation predictor kit to help determine best timing. Take care.

Question 4

please please tell us how to increase chance of conception?

Accepted Answer

See a Fertility MD: If you're ttc in your 40's see a fertility specialist (reproductive endocrinology and infertility or rei md) to get both partners checked out and to increase your fertility. A semen analysis finds sperm problems in almost half of couples having difficulty conceiving. Choosing the right treatment depends on your age, egg supply (ovarian reserve) and whether or not your tubes are blocked or damaged.

Accepted Answer

Normal: Age should not be a factor here.

Question 6

are there foods a man can eat that increase the chances of conception?

Accepted Answer

No: Foods are not reliably shown to improve male fertility.

Question 7

hi are conception chances higher on ovulatin day?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: An egg must be released to be fertilized and sperm must be present to fertilize the egg . Both can survive for a few days, so sex on the days surrounding ovulation can result in pregnancy as well.

Question 8

does low iron levels decrease chance of conception?

Accepted Answer

Generally 'no': But it's not optimal either.

Question 9

does girl being on top lessen chances of conception?

Accepted Answer

No: Chances of getting pregnant is the same no matter who is on top.

Question 10

how can i help my husband de-stress so we can have better chances at conception?

Accepted Answer

Dont be too serious: Many couples stop enjoying sex when they are trying to get pregnant. They lose the intimacy and "medicalize" the act. There is nothing sexy about timing intercourse around ovulation calendars and body temperature charts. Creating a baby together is amazing experience. Don't over think it. Just relax and have fun.
