Do Ovulation-Induced Sexual Behaviors Increase the Chance of Pregnancy?

      The female body produces a perfect egg from the uterus and ovaries every month. If a couple engages in sexual behaviors during ovulation, the chances of getting pregnant are indeed much higher than usual. However, if you want a baby, you should not be too anxious. Not all ovulation events lead to pregnancy; this depends on many factors. So, what are the reasons for this?

      Are you sure you will get pregnant during ovulation?

      After male sperm is discharged from the body, the average survival time in the female reproductive tract is: 0.5-2.5 hours in the vagina, 48 hours in the cervix, 24 hours in the residual uterus and 48 hours in both fallopian tubes. The egg is expelled from the uterus and ovary and can survive for about 12-16 hours in the fallopian tubes. The area where sperm and egg fuse is located in the ampulla or surrounding area of the fallopian tube. Experts recommend that sexual behaviors should be performed every two days before ovulation to ensure that male sperm arrive at the fallopian tube and egg early or on time. This significantly increases the chances of pregnancy compared to post-ovulation.

      In addition, a calm mindset is also the primary condition for pregnancy. For example, long-term anxiety and stress (including work, daily life, and pregnancy) can affect male sexual function and semen quality, as well as female ovulation and egg quality. There is no need for both parties to overly entangle the issue of ovulation. Adjusting the mindset of anxiety and stress can help successful pregnancy.

      Some people believe that it is not easy to get pregnant if they bypass ovulation. Such thinking is incorrect. The female ovulation period refers to the female’s physiological cycle. The 14th day after the first day of the next menstrual period is the ovulation period, and the 5 days after the fourth day are the ovulation period. Couples who want to have sexual behaviors during ovulation are generally advised to do so. This is because pregnancy is now easily achieved, but it does not mean that there is no possibility of pregnancy during non-ovulation periods. Although the chances are smaller, there is still a possibility of pregnancy.

      There is no reason to get pregnant during ovulation.

      The reason why it is possible to get pregnant during the non-ovulation period is that the female ovulation period is not constant but is affected by many factors. For example, some couples live apart from each other, and successful pregnancy can still be achieved, even if the wife is not in the ovulation period, when the husband returns home from a different location. This may be due to stress response adjustments caused by the effects of growth hormones on the body.

      Although the lives of the husband and wife are not in the ovulation period, pregnancy can still occur without any contraception. Pregnancy is a complex physiological process, which must meet the following criteria:

      1. All normal eggs are expelled from the uterus and ovaries.

      2. The sperm is normal in the evening.

      3. The egg and male sperm can meet and fuse in the fallopian tubes.

      4. The fusion of sperm and egg is successfully transported to the uterus.

      5. The uterine wall is prepared for embryo implantation.

      If you are pregnant, you should go to a clinic for a detailed examination.
