Sex For Conceiving

One can easily get pregnant by having sex once in the fertile window. Couples who want to have a baby should go for intercourse once or every day during the fertile window. A woman’s highest chances of getting pregnant are during two days before ovulation or on the very day of ovulation.

Cervix As A Door!

Interestingly, the cervix is supposed to be the door to the uterus. it remains shut for most of the time that means the sperms can’t enter the uterus. But at the time of ovulation or the period nearing it, the cervix opens up that lets the sperms in.

Contraceptives!

On the other hand, if you are not willing to have a baby then use contraceptives while getting physically intimate during the fertile window. One can go for condoms if having nothing in hand but if you can afford some other contraceptive methods, choose them. You can take help of your doctors or health care provider in choosing your option.

Fertilization Of Egg

If the egg gets fertilized, the cells began to divide it into two cells. It keeps on dividing till it turns into a 100-cell blastocyst. One point to keep in mind is that it should be implanted properly in the uterus for pregnancy to succeed further. Thereafter, Estrogen and progesterone, these two hormones starts thickening uterine lining. Furthermore, these hormones transmit signals to the brain so that it does not shed lining. It is done to let the embryo develop into a fetus.

Unfertilized Egg

In any case, if the sperms fail to fertilize eggs, they break down. Again, hormones send the signal to the body to let go of the uterine lining. The lining comes out in a menstrual period that stretches up to two and seven days.

Choosy Egg

All the way we have been told that it is the sperms that have to struggle to enter egg but did you know that this fluid can’t get inside without the consent of egg. Yeah, the egg plays an equally important part. It is it that decides which of the sperm would get inside it, that is what a recent study states. And how do they choose? Well, the eggs give preferences to unbroken sperms.
