To Get Pregnant Should I Stop The Sperm From Leaking Out
Jan 1st
After the ejaculation, the fluid that carries the sperm liquefies and most of it just runs out of your vagina. Your body can not use and does not need that seminal fluid, so it does has to run out at some eventually.
However you may be worried that you are losing this valuable sperm, but according to Doctor Michael Bohrer, MD, endocrinologist with the Reproductive Medical Associates of New Jersey and also a former director of the IVF program at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center, says that “The vagina does naturally slope backwards and the most of the ejaculate will be retained.”
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.

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.
Is It Possible To Get Pregnant After Ovulation?
Jun 26th

More and more couples who have been practicing birth control with the help of the rhythm method feel totally flummoxed when they suddenly find themselves heading towards unexpected parenthood!
Were they not led to believe that getting pregnant after ovulation was not feasible? Then how did this happen?
The answer is very simple. Each woman’s menstrual cycle is different from the other. So the released egg is very viable and has chances of getting fertilized within 12 to 48 hours if it comes in contact with a sperm. Of course, this does not happen with everybody since each woman is again different in this regard. So then, is getting pregnant after ovulation possible? Yes, it definitely is!
To explain this is in greater detail, let us take an example. The couple has indulged in sexual intercourse on a Sunday. The woman begins ovulating on Tuesday. Since sperms are able to survive in a woman’s body for up to five days, there is every possibility that if one of them were to come in contact with the egg (provided it is still viable), conception is going to occur.
So the sperm is the deciding factor where getting pregnant after ovulation is concerned! If the egg is not viable, this does not occur.
Earlier, women were advised to indulge in coupling just a few days prior to ovulation and continuing till the actual day of ovulation. Today, quite a few doctors express the opinion that sexual intercourse before, during and after ovulation will give positive results.
They even go as far as suggesting that three days of sexual intercourse during the week would ensure getting pregnant after ovulation! Going in for sex every alternate day is advised because the male body must have time to build up the supply of sperms.
Even medical experts have come forward with changed views. They believe that the period after ovulation is the best time to conceive. It is difficult to predict the exact date of ovulation and how long the egg is going to remain viable as each woman’s body is different. So getting pregnant after ovulation is a more believable theory today.
Another factor to be considered is that the time of ovulation can vary in the same woman’s body, month after month. She is not able to foretell the exact date of her menstrual cycle. Even women who have had systematic and regular periods all their lives might find their bodies misbehaving some time or the other!
This is because various factors come into play to delay the normal ovulation period-ill-health, excessive stress, indulgence in too much of physical activity and so on. Thus, there is hope for disappointed couples yet-getting pregnant after ovulation is a reality!

3 Fertility Secrets-How To Get Pregnant
Jun 23rd

I Know The Secret To Pregnancy
A healthy baby boy or girl is just not the result of egg meets sperm. There are three critical things that needed to happen for conceiving and to carry a healthy fetus to full term.
Secret No.1 Avoid old eggs and sperm Research indicates that to produce a healthy, viable fetus, you need freshly released egg and sperm. This means that you should avoid having sex a couple of days before ovulation is due, as sperm can last up to 3 days.
A three day old sperm may have degraded somewhat and be potentially defective. Likewise, you should avoid sex just after ovulation, when the egg is still viable (up to 24 hours after release) but again is aging and potentially defective.
The best approach is to have frequent intercourse during the peak fertile time, and stop when ovulation is over, so that a fresh sperm can meet a fresh egg. Ideally, live, fresh sperm should be lining the fallopian tube ready to fertilize an egg when it is released. The best way to do this is to have sex the day before you ovulate. This means that if you ovulate on Day 14, then you should have sex on Day 13 and 14 and then abstain on Day 15.
This will help ensure healthy sperm are present in your Fallopian tubes, ready for the egg to be released. You should also avoid having intercourse for 3-5 days prior to day 12, to build up a high sperm count. Continue to have intercourse every day or every other day until you are sure that ovulation has occurred. Once ovulation has occurred, again abstain for a couple of days. This reduces the risk of an aging (and potentially defective) egg being fertilized, which is likely to result in a miscarriage.
Secret No.2 Build up your Partners sperm count prior to getting Pregnant There are techniques that men can use to build up their sperm count, so that the day before you ovulate they are able to deliver the maximum number of healthy sperm. For men, this means 3-5 days of abstinence (sorry guys, no ejaculation at all). Any longer than this and you risk sperm ageing prior to ejaculation.
There is also some ancient yoga, or Tantric Sex practices that can build up sperm count even further. In the 3-5 days of abstinence, research shows that several sessions of extended foreplay, but with no ejaculation, can build up sperm levels (but beware of frustration levels!). Repeating this process over a period of time can increase sperm quality and quantity.
Secret No. 3 Don’t try to conceive if ovulation occurs on day 17th or later This is the most important part of the secret. Not applying this part of the Secret is a major cause of miscarriage. Once you understand it, you will be able to recognize which cycles would result in a viable fetus, and which cycles would result in a miscarriage. Temperature graphs can be used to determine the timing of ovulation. During your monthly cycle, basal (or body-at-rest) temperature changes and when you ovulate, the production of progesterone increases.
Progesterone is the hormone released by the corpus luteum, the “crater” left behind after an egg has been released. Progesterone production causes a small (0.5º Celsius or 1º Fahrenheit) rise in basal temperature. So you know that the day your basal temperature increases is probably the day you ovulated. However, ovulation could have occurred up to 3 days before the temperature increase.
The optimal time for ovulation is day 14 or earlier, when the chances of producing a viable fetus are about 90%. If you ovulate on day 15 or later, the chances fall to 43%.
This part of the secret was not very well known. Regular late ovulation decreases your chances of getting pregnant. You ovulate less, statistically, and the endometrial lining is not optimal anymore to allow implantation. Late ovulation also results in a higher risk of miscarriage, as the older egg may be defective, and the aging corpus luteum may not be able to produce enough progesterone, which is the hormone that prepares your uterus for pregnancy, and prevents you from getting your period.
I am quite sure that by following these three simple and easy secrets which are not known to most of the couples, the chances of getting pregnant will be quite higher.
