The frequency of intercourse during pregnancy is a problem that plagues many pregnant couples, but this problem is more difficult to talk about, and it is always embarrassing to ask others. If the frequency of intercourse during pregnancy is high, the husband is often prone to lack of energy and it is difficult to ensure the quality of sperm; if the frequency of intercourse is too low, he is afraid of missing the ovulation period - you know, sperm and eggs have their own survival time, waiting to meet The time is not long, if you miss the best time to conceive, you will have to wait another cycle.
Many sisters are about to ask, since this is the case, what is the scientific way to arrange the timing of pregnancy and intercourse? How often should you have intercourse during pregnancy?
There is no accepted standard for the frequency of intercourse during pregnancy.
Regarding the frequency of intercourse, there is no generally accepted standard. However, American sexology experts announced a sex formula on a sexology forum organized in China: "Sex frequency = the first digit of age × 9".
According to this formula, a person in the twenties (20 to 29 years old), his (her) sex formula is 2 × 9 = 18, 18 can be regarded as a combination of 10 and 8, that is to say The frequency of sex that suits him (her) is 8 times in 10 days; a person in the age group of 30 (30 to 39 years old), his (her) sex formula is 3×9=27, that is, he ( she) is suitable for having sex 7 times in 20 days.
Does your intercourse frequency fit this formula? My guess is that most people don't. In fact, for people in the 20-29 age group, 8 times in 10 days is actually an exaggeration. To put it another way, 30-year-olds in their thirties and 29-year-olds in their twenties are not much different in age, but the frequency is far different, which is obviously unreasonable.
Besides, if the wife is in the twenties and the husband is in the thirties, who will prevail? Suppose the wife is 28 years old and the husband is 32 years old, then the wife has to have sex 8 times in 10 days, and the husband has sex 7 times in 20 days. Isn't the wife very embarrassed? Is this to cheat people?
Intercourse during pregnancy
From the above content we can know that the frequency of sex life follows the formula is no doubt.
In order to get pregnant, it is definitely not good to have sex every day. According to traditional Chinese theory, people will lose their blood and essence during intercourse. A person's blood essence is limited and needs to be maintained. Therefore, husband and wife need to be restrained when they have the same room, so many husbands also need to maintain "essence".
Of course, you can't be too restrained. If you pay too much attention to "refreshing your energy", it is not advisable, because on the other hand, too few intercourse is not conducive to conception. Too few times of intercourse will make the sperm stay in the testis for too long, which is easy to make the sperm age, thereby reducing the vitality, resulting in the formation of fertilized eggs of low quality, and it is not easy to give birth to healthy and smart children.
So in general, in the non-ovulation period, 1-2 times a week is almost enough, and during the ovulation period, it can be a little more frequent depending on the situation. Therefore, it is very important to detect ovulation period.
Recommended frequency of intercourse during ovulation: once every 2 days during ovulation
After the egg is released, it can only survive for 12 to 24 hours, and the sperm in the female reproductive tract usually only survives for 1 to 3 days.
If the sperm starts early, that is, 1 week before ovulation, intercourse once every 2 days, so that on the premise of ensuring the quality of the sperm, it can reach the fallopian tube in advance or on time, and meet with the egg to form a fertilized egg.
Therefore, the best time for intercourse during ovulation is to have intercourse every other day after the start of ovulation to ensure sperm quality and maximize the chance of conception. After intercourse, women should lie on their back for a while to promote conception.
When does ovulation have intercourse?
There are many "people who have come here" who say that it is easier to conceive when the ovulation test strip is strong and yang becomes weak. "The ovulation test paper is strong and weak" has therefore become the best time to conceive in the eyes of many people.
Many sisters don't know how the ovulation test strips become weak and strong. If the ovulation test strips are used correctly, look at the ovulation test strips to predict ovulation, and find that the ovulation test strips become weak and strong, and have sex as soon as possible. There are many factors that affect the basal body temperature. When it is found that the basal body temperature has risen and ovulation has occurred, it may be too late for intercourse. If it is found that the ovulation test strip is strong and weak for many times, it is necessary to combine the basal body temperature. After the ovulation test strip becomes weak, the body temperature rises, indicating ovulation.
Theoretically, sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to 72 hours, so having intercourse 2 days before ovulation, it is theoretically possible to conceive, but in fact, the survival time of sperm in the female reproductive tract depends on the environment in the female reproductive tract. If there is cervicitis, vaginitis, etc., it may affect the sperm motility and survival time, and then affect the fertilization ability. Ovulation generally occurs after the LH peak, so many people also recommend intercourse after the ovulation test strip becomes weak.
Therefore, in theory, it seems that it is easier to conceive when the ovulation test paper is strong and weak. However, the editor is not very agree with the accuracy of intercourse to a certain minute and a certain second of a certain time. As long as it is during the ovulation period, if you feel that you have the same room, you don't have to worry too much.
Why do some people have sex during ovulation and don't get pregnant?
Generally speaking, the causes of infertility during ovulation are as follows:
1. Tubal factors: Tubal obstruction has always been the main cause of female infertility. When the fallopian tube is inflamed, the secretion of the mucous membrane is reduced, the lumen is adhered, and the peristalsis of the entire fallopian tube is weakened, which can not only lead to infertility, but also induce ectopic pregnancy. When suffering from pelvic endometriosis, it can also distort the fallopian tubes and cause infertility.
2. Vulva and vaginal factors: For example, deformities such as imperforate hymen, vaginal diaphragm, congenital absence of vagina can hinder sexual life; or when suffering from severe vaginitis, a large number of pathogenic microorganisms and white blood cells phagocytose sperm and cause infertility.
3. Ovarian factors: congenital absence of ovaries, immature ovaries, polycystic ovaries or premature ovarian failure, oophoritis, etc., can affect ovarian ovulation and infertility.
4. Uterine factors: The normal position of the uterus is forward leaning and forward bending, the cervix is backward, and the cervix is soaked in the semen pool after sexual intercourse and ejaculation, which is conducive to conception. If the uterus is in a retroverted and retroflexed position, the cervix will be forward and upward, which can affect the entry of sperm into the uterine cavity and cause infertility.
5. Cervical factors: During ovulation, the cervix opens from 1 mm to 3 mm in diameter after menstruation. The cervical mucus is clear and transparent, with a pH value of 7.0-8.2, which neutralizes the acidity of the vagina and facilitates the passage of sperm. If you suffer from chronic cervicitis or low estrogen levels, the cervical mucus can contain a large number of white blood cells or be thick and affect pregnancy. Cervical polyps can prevent sperm from passing through.
6. Immune factors: In a few couples, no obvious cause of infertility was found by both parties, but the infertility was caused by anti-sperm antibodies in the serum of infertile women.
7. Mentality is also very important: during the ovulation period, don’t be too nervous, take it easy, let the flow take its course, and don’t try too hard to pursue the easy-to-fertilize postures mentioned on the Internet.
