The 5 Common Baby Making Mistakes

             The 5 Common Baby Making Mistakes

When you're trying to get pregnant, don't let these avoidable
mistakes affect your conception goals.

. 1: lack of Enough Sex

Of course you don't want to think you're doing anything wrong
when it comes to baby-making, but at least this mistake is fun to
fix! You may think that cutting down on sex to "save" your guy's
sperm — or only getting busy when you're ovulating — will make
getting pregnant easier. But many days of not having sex can
throw off conception. "It's easy to miss the fertile period if sex is
limited only to when you think you're ovulating because many
women believe they're ovulating when they actually aren't.

Have sex as often as you like, paying special attention to the few days before
ovulation.

 2: Too Much Sex

Some couples think they have conception all figured out: The more
sex you have, the easier and sooner you'll conceive. But more isn't
always better. Although having sex frequently won't decrease the
potency of a man's sperm, as many believe, it too often can
potentially cause problems, "If it's productive
purposes alone, having sex multiple times a day or even every
single day could cause 'burnout,' and the couple may begin to
view sex as little more than a pre-ovulatory chore," he explains.
Then, when that window of fertility is open, one or both of the
partners may not be interested, resulting in a missed opportunity.

 3: Sticking with one Position for long


You may have heard that missionary is the best position to get
pregnant, or that you should keep your hips elevated after sex.
Wrong. Whether you're on top, your guy is on top, or you're doing
a crazy new position you read about, the result is the same. "When
a man ejaculates, sperm swims out, goes directly into the cervical mucus and into the fallopian tubes

 4: Assuming that all the problem is caused by the lady

When a couple has a difficult time getting pregnant, many people
(couples included) automatically think it means something is
physically wrong with the woman. "Men are less likely to believe
or to want to believe something is wrong with them, "Because fluids will come out, whether there's sperm there or not, they assume it
means they're fertile," he adds. But that's not necessarily the
case.
"From day one, couples need to think it could be the woman, the
man, both, or simply unexplained infertility.
half of infertility issues have to do with the woman, 40 percent
with the man, and the other 10 percent is both or neither." The best
thing, she adds, is for both partners to be assessed from the
beginning to know for sure.

5:Making love the Day of Ovulation

If you have an ovulation predictor kit, or if you're charting your
basal body temperature or using the calendar method to try to
identify ovulation, you may think it makes sense to get physical
the day of ovulation , but that may be too late. After ovulation,
the egg can be fertilized for only about 24 hours. If you're wrong
about ovulation, you'll have to wait to try again the next month.
Because sperm can live for three to five days, having sex in the
few days leading up to ovulation will increase your chances of
getting pregnant, experts say.
