How to make love to get pregnant
There are many strange superstitions and practices around fertility.
According to statistics, one in every eight couples has difficulty conceiving. Most experts say that if you have sex more often than every other day, your sperm quality will suffer. But a very recent study claims that making love twice in one hour can triple your chances of getting pregnant.
There are many strange superstitions and practices around fertility. While some of them, according to the experts they shared with Mail Online, are just work of the imagination, others are worth trying.
1. Romance and pleasure are important
According to Dr. Sherrill Kingsberg, a psychologist specializing in reproductive therapy at Ohio State Hospital, the problem with sex for conception is that it’s not very sexy and kills romantic feelings. To make a baby, couples need to experience pleasure, not pressure. Hence the simple conclusion: you need to make love with love – and you will be happy, that is, a child!
This is especially difficult for men when the very night comes when they have to work on the reproduction of offspring. The direct link between stress and fertility has not yet been clearly established, but most experts agree that stress affects this process negatively. Stress affects female hormones and can interfere with ovulation – the period when a woman’s body sends an egg to the uterus for fertilization. Stress also degrades the quality of male sperm, slowing down its speed and decreasing energy. Therefore, couples should avoid such stressors as having to commit an act at any cost.
Making love twice every hour can triple your chances of getting pregnant, but you shouldn’t do it every day. Scientists believe that if a man has sex for two days in a row, then the number of active sperm is reduced, but if he waits for more than a week, then most of them simply die.
Hugs before the main act will help you make a baby. When men feel like they are expected to do much, they experience stress that can interfere with erections. Therefore, while it may be beneficial to make love twice an hour, experts advise you to do it only every other day during the ovulation period. And between these periods, have sex for his own sake, experiencing more romantic feelings. Interestingly, when couples undergo IVF procedures that do not require sex, the patients’ intimate life is improved. Sex that is not about reproduction should be playful and sensual so that later, when couples work to create offspring, they remember romantic sex and their feelings for each other renewed.
Whether couples do it twice in an hour, once a week or a month, science can help them get pregnant without any sex at all. But this is not what scientists are striving for, who also want to ensure a happy intimate life for couples.
