Achieving a pregnancy naturally is an objective which many families pursue in their desire to make that all important dream come true. If there’s one thing assisted reproduction treatments teach us daily is that fate is only but a small factor in a long equation which adds together many different elements. For this reason, before leaving everything down to lady luck, we should think about science. Even if we follow the classic method, we can apply it: by concentrating all our efforts on our fertile days.
The fertile days are simply that brief period during the menstrual cycle when sexual intercourse has more chances of culminating in success. Such days are those during which the ovule has matured and is released from the ovary: an ovulation phase which – lasts between three and five days – although this can vary, depending on the ovule’s survival capacity and the sperm’s fertilization capability.
How can I work out when my fertile days are?
To know when your fertile days are, first you should know how the menstrual cycle works and how it’s split up. A menstrual cycle is the time which passes between one menstruation and another. In this period, of approximately four weeks- although it is common to see this either lasting more or less – the body experiments hormonal changes which prepare the body for the pregnancy.
The cycle is divided into two phases. The first part, the follicular phase, commences the first day of the menstruation and ends with the ovulation. The second, known as the luteal phase, extends from this very point to the day before the next menstruation. Even though the menstrual cycle has an irregular duration, this halfway point marks the turning point for those looking for those fertile days.
The second phase of the cycle, which is when the fertile days occur, has a duration of approximately between 12 and 16 days. This means that it is possible to calculate, roughly, when these days will occur: by simply calculating the day in which the next menstruation is due to take place and subtracting the above time to know which dates the chances of becoming pregnant by means of intercourse are greater.
In addition, although this is by no means a scientific method, online one can find calculators to work out ones fertile days, on inputting certain information; they will show the time range. Numerical info is introduced such as the average duration of the menstrual cycle or the date of the last period and an approximation of when the most fertile days will be is obtained.
This way is how we can control our daily habits, diet or lifestyle to be able to have more of a chance of becoming pregnant, and achieve it naturally, by following the fertile days guide. All this. so that you can count on the highest possible chance of success, in forming a family.
