Best Time to Conceive a Baby

A very pertinent question for those couples who are trying to get their baby is whether there is any best time to conceive the baby. Normally in the typical woman’s cycle, the window of opportunities for conception during each month is extremely narrow. There are thousands of women who have conceived without ever trying or even their knowing when or how they conceived. However those who are trying and not getting conceived, knowing the anatomy better would be educative and beneficial. A part of such education is learning the best time to conceive.

In each cycle during ovulation an egg is released. Such things happen only once in a cycle. Of course there are a few exceptions and instances have come to the notice of the scientists where a second egg has been released within 24 hours of the first one. The longevity of the egg is hardly 12-24 hours. Therefore the window of opportunity for pregnancy is very narrow. If you can time your intercourse appropriately there is no reason why one would not conceive easily. Requirement is to make sure that sperm is present when egg is released from the ovary. The woman thus has only 12-24 hours in a month to get sure pregnancy.

Therefore it is extremely important that you choose the time for your intercourse accordingly. However the sperm lives well for five days if the cervical fluid is good and fertile. This increases the window opportunity. Hence you cannot solely rely on the fertility of the cervical fluid. You should better chart the ovulation to exactly assess the time of its occurrence. In the process you can chart the basal body temperature besides the cervical fluids and its position. It will be easier for you to exactly pin point the best time to conceive.

Frequency of intercourse that you should have depends largely upon a few factors. If the male partner carries normal sperm counts, intercourse every day won’t be bad. If the sperm count with him is lower then intercourse every alternative day would be the better course for you. At least when you exactly know when ovulation might occur, it is better to have intercourse three days prior to ovulation and continue at least one to three days after the period. The best course would be having intercourse three days prior to ovulation and three days after it including the day of ovulation itself, a total period of seven days.

Best time to conceive will depend on the actual ovulation date. You can find out by charting or using the ovulation kit. You have to find out the near perfect date and have your intercourses since that is the best time to conceive.
