Are your chances of getting pregnant higher if you have sex in the morning?

This is an automatically translated article.

At different times of the day, sperm health also changes differently. There are a number of reasons given that morning sex can help some couples get pregnant. Studies show that most male sex hormones reach their highest levels in the morning, which helps make sperm stronger to reach the egg.

1. When to increase the possibility of conception?

When you decide to start a family of your own, pregnancy is not easy and quick. After 6 months of trying with your partner but still no results, where is the problem.
If you are young (18-34 years old) and both you and your partner are healthy, you should not worry too much, because the cause is usually some simple problem, just a little change can be effective.
Dr. Steven Goldstein, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at New York University School of Medicine, said: "By far, one of the most common causes in healthy couples is that they don't have intercourse. at the right time. And often women simply don't accurately time their ovulation or fertile period in their menstrual cycle.”
He explains that: “After ovulation, an egg only lasts for 24 hours. So, if couples wait until ovulation to have intercourse, they will most likely miss their chance of getting pregnant that month. Since sperm can only live in a woman's reproductive tract for up to 72 hours, you should have sex every two to three days throughout the month."
So doctors recommend that having sex at least 3 days before ovulation will increase the chances of conception significantly.
While there are some who claim that having sex in the morning increases the odds of getting pregnant. Some studies have confirmed that men's sperm count is higher in the morning, but the difference is so small that it doesn't affect fertility problems.
Let's say your partner's sperm count increases from 87 million in the evening to 88 million in the morning. However, we only need the strongest "athlete" to meet the egg.
Don't force yourself to have sex often, more just to improve conception. You and your partner should be in a really good mood during sex. The feelings of both of you really make you comfortable, the pressure only makes things worse.

2. So how can I increase my chances of getting pregnant?

2.1 Prepare for good health Health is a prerequisite for conception. If you and your partner are both in good health, completely psychologically comfortable will create better conditions for conception.
If either of you are in poor health, you should make some lifestyle changes such as: Daily exercise and sports such as: Jogging, soccer, badminton,...any sport What sport do they love? This can improve your chances of getting pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy.
In some people with non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, asthma, overweight, obesity,... will have poor sperm or egg quality than in healthy people.
The problem of underweight malnutrition also affects your chances of getting pregnant. Too much or too little fat in the body will make a woman's period irregular or stop altogether or decrease sperm quality in men. It is also a common cause in infertile couples.
Couples should also pay attention to their body mass index (BMI) to adjust weight. This index can tell a person whether he or she is fat or thin or has an ideal weight. The index is calculated as the ratio between the weight and the square of the height. If the reading is between 18.5 and 24.99, the person is considered normal. Women with a BMI over 30 or under 18 often have problems conceiving.
To overcome this situation, couples should have a reasonable diet such as nutritional supplements to gain weight or follow a diet to lose weight.
2.2 Limit alcohol use Another common case is that couples are trying to get pregnant but one of them uses alcohol or tobacco or both. The UK's Chief Medical Officers have advised:
“If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant you should not drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week, which should be divided equally over 3 days or more. Drinking too much alcohol will affect sperm quality and egg quality. A lot of research has shown that active smoking can also reduce fertility in women even if the woman does not use tobacco (passive smoking).”

As for the use of caffeine found in beverages such as coffee, tea, and cola, there are no studies yet. Certain prescription, over-the-counter, and stimulant medications will interfere with your fertility. You should only use the medicine when absolutely necessary such as illness or disease. You should consult your doctor when you have to use drugs during pregnancy preparation for advice on drugs that have the least effect on pregnancy preparation and pregnancy, without adverse effects. to the health of you and your partner.
To prepare for a healthy pregnancy, health issues are the top concern, so both husband and wife should check their reproductive health 3-5 months before pregnancy.
The wife should:
Get vaccinated before pregnancy (especially against rubella because rubella in pregnancy is extremely dangerous ) Genetic testing to screen for genetic diseases before pregnancy Check for secondary infections In particular, women over 35 years of age, if they want to become pregnant (especially if they have never been pregnant), will have to have a very detailed health check because pregnancy at this age often problems: Ovarian failure, premature birth, higher risk of birth defects, placenta previa, preeclampsia. The husband should:
Check reproductive health, detect diseases of testicular atrophy, physiological weakness, weak sperm... Sexually transmitted diseases, especially those that cannot be cured, are extremely dangerous.
