Getting Pregnant and Conception
Aug 23rd

As much time as most women spend trying to keep from getting pregnant throughout their lives, it sometimes seems that for any woman who is sexually active, pregnancy is the default condition.
Pregnancy sneaks up on millions of women every month: pregnancy has been known to occur during one’s period, while still nursing an infant, when a partner has had a vasectomy, and when women are on the Pill.
Hormones, sponges, creams, foams and various latex and non-latex products have been pressed into use by women who are not at a stage in life where they want children.
It’s only when we start wanting to have children that we learn that pregnancy sometimes takes as much planning as childlessness did before.
It may be that the hectic nature of daily life has changed considerably from the time when, eons ago, all you needed was enough to eat and enough shelter to keep alive.
In fact, the nature of nature is to make us as fertile as possible under a wide variety of circumstances. But our bodies are still trying to adapt to the environment we have built, where things like jet lag, hot tubs and plain old fatigue can affect whether we can become pregnant.
The human body, while amazingly adaptable, is only willing to go so far: getting pregnant is often a matter of helping things along by working in a playful way to bring ovulation, active sperm, and a welcoming environment conducive to implantation together at the same time.

Should Pregnant Women Consume Alcohol
Aug 10th
Many pregnant women question, whether they should consume liquors during the pregnancy. If so, how much of alcoholic beverage is permitted for them. As it bears out, a woman bearing a baby under her heart has to trust her own intuition concerning the alcoholic beverage intake during the expectancy period. Researchers still vary in their views on the topic.
Pregnant Women Should Exclude Alcohol from Their Diet
The specialists at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine state, that women should completely exclude alcohol from their diet during pregnancy, since alcohol consumption can put the life of the child in danger as it facilitates development of the Fetus Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). Children with the syndrome are known to have low IQs, disturbed attention and various physical abnormalities.
The American, South African, and Scandinavian scientists support this point of view. In the course of studying the question they concluded that those women who consume alcohol during the pregnancy have increased possibility of bearing diseased fetus.
Drinking Wine Is Healthy for Pregnant Women
The scientist from the British Health Care opposed this point of view. They noted that the results of the above noted studies were publicized by the governments when pursuing the anti-alcohol politics. This fact signifies, that the conclusions made by the scientists at that time are not necessarily valid.
In fact, the British believe that wine is good for pregnant women if reasonably consumed. According to them, a pregnant woman can have no more than two glasses of wine per week. Only the woman and her physician can decide for themselves which of the scientists are correct.
Can You Get Pregnant During Your Period?
Jul 24th
Yes you can get pregnant during your period, but your chances of getting pregnant
during your period are slim. The best time for a woman to get pregnant is around the middle of her cycle, close to ovulation. For the average woman this is around cycle day 12 to 16. However, it is possible to get pregnant during your period and there are several reasons why.
Sperm can live for up to 5 days
Normally sperm can survive inside a woman’s body for around two to three days. However, under the best conditions, sperm can sometimes survive for as long as five days. So if a woman had unprotected sex during her period and then ovulated four or five days after she had sex, she could get pregnant.Early ovulation
Typically a woman ovulates around 14 days before the start of her period. So if you have an average 28 day cycle, you would most likely ovulate on cycle day 14. A woman’s cycle, though, is not always predictable. Even women who normally have regular cycles can have an off cycle and ovulate earlier or later than normal. If you ovulate very early in your cycle, for example, on cycle day 10, it would be possible to conceive if you had intercourse while on your period.
Long periods or irregular bleeding
Some women have very long periods or irregular bleeding after their period. If a woman had a long period, say it lasted for 10 days, and she had unprotected sex while she was still bleeding, she might get pregnant. Even though a woman is bleeding or spotting, it doesn’t mean she is not fertile. It is possible for a woman approaching ovulation to still be on her period. In fact, some women will begin producing fertile cervical mucous during the last few days of their periods. If a woman ovulates shortly after her period ends or while she is spotting, she could get pregnant.
Ovulation Spotting
Ovulation spotting is bleeding that occurs close to ovulation. It is very fertile cervical fluid and it is sometimes mistake for a long or abnormal period. Some women will have brown or red spotting right before they ovulate. This type of spotting provides the ideal environment for sperm to live in. If a woman has sex while she is having ovulation spotting, there is a good chance she could get pregnant.
