Suggestions to improve your fertility

These are general considerations and suggestions. You are encouraged to ask medical doctors informations about health problems eventually reducing fertility. If the suggestions here below do not work or you feel uncomfortable with them, keep in mind nowadays there are sophisticated techniques to help people to procreate: the sooner you try, the more chances of success you have.

His Body

1) Testicles are situated outside because their job requires a lower temperature. So there is a fertility problem for men working close to intense sources of heat: they need special clothes. However for everybody it is not a good idea to take hot baths: lower the temperature. Also do not wear too tight clothes.
2) A period of abstinence improves the quality of sperm, but the ideal period it seems to be just 1 to 2 days (one intercourse a day or every other day).

Her Body

1) Normally vagina is too acid for spermatozoa to survive. With sexual excitement vagina gets to be naturally lubricated and suitable for them. It is important to reach a high level of excitement before penetration. This can be done with the help of the partner or she can stimulate herself even, for example, in the bathroom before joining the partner in the bedroom. There exist also special lubricants for fertility you can buy on the internet. If the environment of vagina is not good at the moment of ejaculation, all spermatozoa die immediately. If you cannot get a good lubrication anyway, search for artificial insemination specialists without waiting: they will arrange a meeting between spermatozoa and ovum some else way.
2) Detect the day of ovulation measuring basal temperature every morning: it is the day of the minimum temperature. The conception is possible for intercourses up to four days before and two days later. The best day is the day before ovulation (day: -1), the second best day is the ovulation day (day: 0), at third place days -2 and +1, other days are less probable. You have to make your own plan, combining what said before about abstinence, to have intercourses especially in best days, without making sex a stressing duty for your natural pace. Consider also that cycles are not always regular and be prepared to add intercourses if the ovulation is late. It can take months to have a good diagram of cycle, but start trying from the first!
3) During these days the position of her being on top is not indicated at the moment of ejaculation because of the risk for semen to fall. After ejaculation he should exit soon from vagina for not removing semen while moving inside. Then she should lie on the bed (not going to the bathroom) with her pelvis lifted a bit, maybe using a pillow, to keep semen deep in vagina. Meanwhile, the uterus retakes his rest position, as before excitement, with the neck easier to be reached by spermatozoa. If she has not had an orgasm it happens slower, otherwise faster (and it has been reported that only with the orgasm the orifice of cervix opens a bit for 20-30 minutes helping spermatozoa). How long to stay? Sperm helps to keep low the acidity in vagina so spermatozoa arrived alive can survive for hours. Consider that good spermatozoa after 3 hours are almost the same percentage as just after the ejaculation, but the ones that would pass the cervix probably pass at the beginning. There are many opinions, but we think at least 60 minutes.
