There are few ways to guarantee pregnancy. There are, however, ways to ensure you have the best chances in your efforts. To do that, you need to make sure that sperm try to reach your eggs during the 24 hours of ovulation.
The most common way to conceive is through sexual intercourse, so the best way to increase your chances of getting pregnant is to have sex.
You’ll want to have sex during the 48 hours your body is in ovulation, though not necessarily too often during that time. It takes a man about 24 hours to produce the amount of sperm necessary to ensure the best chances of fertilization. Too much sex actually decreases productivity of sperm. Timing counts!
By learning the schedule your body keeps, you’ll be able to pinpoint when your body is going into ovulation. Although perfect accuracy is almost impossible, you can know ovulation is happening by charting your basal temperature. During ovulation, most women have a basal temp of 97 to 99 just after the onset of ovulation. During ovulation, basal temp increases by a fraction of a degree. By noticing this change, and by knowing your cycle, you can make sure you have sex during the critical 24-hour duration of optimal fertility.
