Relationship time greatly affects the psychological, emotional relationship and reproductive health of couples. However, this is just one of many factors that influence the outcome of a successful conception. So how many minutes of sex to get pregnant? What are the factors that determine the successful outcome of conception and implantation? This article will answer questions for readers.
1. How many minutes of sex to get pregnant?
Sex without using contraception has a high chance of conceiving and becoming pregnant. However, successful natural conception is not always short-lived. In fact, it takes the average couple under 35 years of age from a few months to a year.
Relationship time greatly affects the psychological, emotional relationship and reproductive health of couples. However, this is just one of many factors that influence the outcome of a successful conception. Therefore, there is not a specific number to answer the question "How many minutes to get pregnant during sex?". In particular, having sex for 10 seconds or having sex for 30 seconds is not the main determining factor for this problem, but it will depend on many other relevant factors.
Studies show that it takes an average of 15 to 90 minutes for sperm to reach an egg after traveling from the cervix to the fallopian tubes. This time is not fixed, depends largely on the activity and condition of each sperm and the vaginal environment in women. If you're ovulating and the egg is already in the fallopian tube, fertilization can happen as quickly as 15 minutes after the sperm is released into the woman's vagina.
Sperm can live up to 5 days in a woman's genitals. Therefore, fertilization can take place during this time. This explains why the date of conception and the date of intercourse are not on the same day.
When the egg and sperm form a zygote, it will move to the uterine cavity and implant. This implantation takes place in the uterine wall. However, biologically, pregnancy is defined when the embryo successfully implants in the mucosa. Time for nesting takes about 5-10 days after fertilization. Therefore, the whole process of conception and implantation takes place within a period of 5-15 days after sexual intercourse.
2. Factors determining successful conception results
As mentioned above, 30 seconds of sex or 10 seconds of sex is not the only factor to determine success. The problem of conception is affected by many factors as follows:
2.1. Sperm quantity and quality In order for the egg and sperm to meet, these sperm will have to go through the process of swimming through the vagina, cervix, uterus and meet the egg in the fallopian tube. To successfully go through this stage, sperm must overcome many difficulties and also in which millions of sperm are destroyed in each passage.
Fertilization problems depend a lot on the activity and condition of the sperm. The average speed of sperm tail movement is 1000 turns/second. The stronger sperm will certainly swim faster, so the time to reach the egg is also shorter than the weak sperm and is not able to go far. In men, sperm consists of 2 different types of sperm, X and Y. In which, studies have shown that the number of Y sperm swim faster but less viability than X sperm.
Sperm count also plays an important role in the success of conception. Only when this number reaches a large enough number will there be a chance to reach the egg after losing a huge amount during the journey.
In addition, the time it takes for these sperm to reach the egg quickly or slowly depends on the female's own vaginal environment. If this environment is favorable, it can create good conditions for the egg and sperm to meet and vice versa. Scientific studies also show that, after being released into the vaginal environment, most sperm will work at full capacity to be able to swim fastest and reach the egg in the shortest time.

2.2. Menstrual cycle One of the factors that creates a successful conception outcome is the time when it is easy to conceive. Many studies and scientific evidence suggest that this time falls around the time of a woman's ovulation. Sperm can live in a woman's body for about 5 days, but an egg only lasts about 12-24 hours after ovulation. Therefore, determining the exact time of ovulation and having sex at this time will greatly increase the chances of conception.
Menstrual cycle tracking is a simple and easy to follow method to determine the fertile time in a woman. If the menstrual cycle is regular for about 28 days, ovulation is 14 days after the onset of menstruation. This timeline is subject to change, fluctuating with longer menstrual cycles. In addition, monitoring the menstrual cycle is also a way to know if the ovaries are working properly or not.
Currently there are many applications available to be equipped on smartphones to serve the problem of menstrual cycle monitoring and determining ovulation time. However, a woman can identify this time based on a number of physical manifestations that occur due to hormonal changes during the cycle. Some symptoms can be mentioned as:
Expression of chest pain; Abdominal discomfort; Vaginal discharge more than usual; Body temperature is also abnormally increased; Desire at this stage is relatively high; 2.3. Healthy lifestyle Currently, an unhealthy lifestyle has contributed to an increase in the rate of infertility and infertility of couples. Eliminating bad habits and building a healthy lifestyle can lead to higher conception rates.
Some habits affecting reproductive quality can be mentioned as:
Abuse of alcohol, beer, tobacco and stimulants: This is a common habit but causes a lot of effects on health. health, especially sperm quality. Many studies have shown that alcohol and drugs are the cause of mutations in the number and arrangement of chromosomes, causing decreased sperm quality, affecting the outcome of fertilization and healthy pregnancy. Lifestyle with prolonged pressure, not getting enough sleep, staying up late are also habits that affect reproductive health. After 23 o'clock at night is an appropriate and favorable time for the body to produce testosterone - an important male sex hormone, especially in a state of sleep. Therefore, staying up late continuously for a long time will affect spermatogenesis, reduce the quantity and quality of semen. Improper nutrition: Nutrition plays a very important role in health. A reasonable diet with adequate nutrients in addition to bringing a healthy body also helps to promote physiological and reproductive health. Essential foods such as asparagus, sea oysters, shallots, beef, bananas, watermelons... need to be added to the diet menu to bring about positive effects on health. Limit exercise and sports: Physical exercise, sports and other reasonable movements are very necessary in today's life. The strengthening of exercises according to the appropriate regime not only brings a strong and healthy body, but also increases endurance and brings high efficiency in physiological health for both men and women.

3. How to shorten the time the sperm meets the egg
The time it takes for the sperm to meet the egg cannot be shorter than the estimated average time. However, it is still possible to shorten this time and improve the efficiency of insemination by a few methods such as:
Create a favorable vaginal environment to facilitate sperm survival by keeping Vagina is always clean, healthy and free of gynecological diseases. Have sex at the time close to ovulation. Men should take care of their health, so that the X and Y sperm can survive, be healthy and move quickly and smoothly. Choose a comfortable sex position so that sperm can be released into the deepest part of a woman's vagina. After fertilization in the fallopian tube, the zygote will gradually move into the uterus for implantation. The moment the embryo is buried in the endometrium, a woman's hormones will have certain changes to prepare for pregnancy. Therefore, a woman's body will show some early signs of pregnancy.
When there are signs of suspicion of pregnancy, you can use a home pregnancy test and schedule a regular antenatal check-up with an obstetrician to check the development of the fetus during pregnancy. The first 3 months are the most sensitive time during pregnancy. In order for mother and baby to be healthy, parents need to pay attention to:
Understand early signs of pregnancy, pregnancy poisoning, bleeding during pregnancy. Timely, correct and sufficient first prenatal check-up, avoiding too early/too late. Fetal malformation screening at 12 weeks detects dangerous fetal malformations that can be intervened early. Distinguish between normal vaginal bleeding and pathological vaginal bleeding for timely intervention to maintain pregnancy. Screening for thyroid disease in the first 3 months of pregnancy avoids dangerous risks before and during delivery.
