It is a mistake to believe that success in such a “sensitive issue” as the successful conception of a child, for the most part, depends primarily on the woman. So, today it leaves no doubt that the health and the right psychological attitude, the state of the body and the quality of sperm and men also largely determines the success of the “enterprise” called “cloudless pregnancy”. The modern world is filled with all sorts of harmful factors of a completely different plan, which affect the man’s body, including his ability to conceive a child, and the ability to conceive a healthy and full-fledged child. That is why the preparation of a man for conceiving a child is equally as important as that of a woman. And, if I may say so, this preparation is “complex” and long enough - it is believed that ideally a man should be prepared for conception for at least 3 months.

Bad habits

It is 3 months before the planned conception that one should completely and completely abandon bad habits - drinking and smoking. Both alcohol and nicotine have a very negative effect on the male reproductive system, and, moreover, significantly increase the chances of conceiving an unhealthy child. Scientists have found that if the body is cleared of nicotine faster, then cleaning the body of alcohol is a longer process: it will take about 3 months to eliminate it. Approximately the same time it takes the body to recover from the disease, which was accompanied by medication.

Nutrition and Lifestyle

No less important for the safe conception of a child is the food of the future of the pope and the way of life in general. It is mandatory to have to give up fried food (carcinogens), all kinds of chips, crackers, fast food, and colored soda. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid the influence of chemical agents - evaporation of paint or varnish, salts of heavy metals, exposure to ionizing radiation or x-rays.

The question of the “right” is also important. temperature conditions: The testicles - the place of sperm formation - are located in the scrotum, the temperature of which is one and a half degrees below body temperature. And this is one of the main conditions for the normal formation of viable spermatozoa, and therefore, in preparation for conceiving, dad was advised to avoid warm pants and trousers, regular visits to the sauna or bath, long stay in a warm bath.

The preparation of a man for conception implies moderate physical exercise, the main thing is not to overzealize excessively: “overload” negatively affects the fertilizing ability of sperm. And highly traumatic sports (cycling, martial arts) can cause damage groin areathat is dangerous for childbearing function.

Surveys and analyzes

Well and, of course, not to manage in a question of preparation for conception without visiting the doctor. First of all, you should visit the urologist: a specialist will hold, prescribe the necessary tests and, if necessary, a spermatogram. It is advisable to be tested for the detection of genital infections (they adversely affect not only the health of the man, but also can lead to fetal abnormalities of the fetus, diseases of the newborn). However, be sure to undergo a blood test - determine the group and Rh factor, exclude the likelihood of hepatitis B and C, syphilis and.

Relationship in a pair

Of course, except that the best guarantee of a successful conception is not harmony in the relationship of future parents. Heat and tenderness will create a “platform” for further joint passage through pregnancy and childbirth. Joint pastime will open up a couple more to each other, will give the opportunity to even more “get used” to each other and teach each other to listen. Psychological comfort for men is also an important factor for successful conception: stresses, nervous tensions, and work overloads are better left in the past. Instead, it is better to enjoy life and sleep at the proper time (at least 8 hours a day).

With regard to sexual life: planning a child, intimate relationships will have to make some "rules". Thus, the most optimal interval between sexual intercourse is 2-3 days: this time is necessary for the “maturation” of spermatozoa, improvement of the quality and quantity of sperm.

Especially for  - Tatyana Argamakova

A woman who wants to become a mother should be aware of what constitutes preparation for conceiving a child. Childbirth will take place without complications, and the baby will probably be born healthy if the expectant mother and father take care of their health in a timely manner and know how to prepare for the conception of the child.

Medical statistics asserts that the highest chances of conceiving a strong and healthy child are among women aged 18-25. With age, there is a higher risk that the child will be born “problematic” and with congenital abnormalities. Avoid serious violations to young parents will help the proper planning of pregnancy and knowledge of how to prepare yourself to conceive a child.

The main goal of preparing for conception should be an increase in the fertility level of the future matter of the father. For this you need:

However, even with proper and complete planning, there is no one hundred percent guarantee that the pregnancy will develop normally, but the risks can be minimized.

General Medical Examination

Expectant mother and father must undergo a full medical examination. First of all, you should visit the therapist's office, which by suspecting and a simple examination will be able to suspect the deviation and indicate which specialists should be bypassed further, as well as which tests to pass.

A woman planning a pregnancy should see a dentist, as some infections can enter the body through the carious cavity. This specialist identifies dental pathology, then prescribes appropriate treatment.

The last stage is a visit to the gynecological clinic for a general gynecological examination, colposcopy and ultrasound examination.

What tests need to pass

Preparing the body for conception begins with the fact that the doctor recommends that the woman pass the following tests:

• complete blood count, urine and feces;
• analysis of the so-called TORCH infection;
• hormone research;
• coagulogram;
• blood group and Rh factor.

Potential risk for pregnancy and health of a newborn with positive rhesus is negative rhesus factor  mothers. If the mother is Rh-positive, Rh-conflict does not occur.

TORCH-complex is designed to detect antibodies to serious pathogens that threaten the fetus. The term “TORCH” is based on the abbreviation of the most common congenital infectious pathologies in capital letters of Latin names. The most common diseases such as toxoplasmosis, rubella, herpes. They adversely affect the nervous system of the baby. In addition, against the background of their development increases the risk of miscarriage. An infection test is required for both spouses.

With the help of the study of blood clotting specialist can find out how well the child will be provided with the necessary nutrients.

After receiving the test results, the doctor makes a decision about the relevance of the examination by a narrow specialist. If necessary, future parents are sent for consultation to the genetics or endocrinologist.

We determine favorable days

When a woman who wants to know how to properly prepare for the conception of a child, passes the first stage, including the delivery of tests, you can think about the following. At this stage it is important to determine the most appropriate time and. These include the day of ovulation, the day before and after it.

One of the most informative ways is rectal temperature measurement. This will require a medical thermometer. Rectal temperature is measured in the morning, immediately upon waking. The thermometer is inserted shallowly. Four to five centimeters will be enough. The data obtained are entered in a special schedule.

Also, a woman who wants to conceive can do a test. It is held at home, twice a day. It is advisable to carry out this manipulation 5-6 days before ovulation. Having received the 1st positive result, it is recommended to stop the study. At 16-28 hours after that, ovulation is observed.

Use of vitamins

A woman who wants pregnancy to come as soon as possible should take vitamins E, C, D, A, PP.

Vitamins E and C contribute to the establishment of an irregular cycle. Vitamin D contributes to the normal development of the skeleton. Against the background of the regular use of vitamin A, the body produces immunity to all kinds of viruses. Also this vitamin is responsible for vision. Vitamin PP is responsible for the functioning of the heart system. In addition, regular use of this vitamin helps to normalize the balance of the body of the expectant mother.

Trace elements are very important. The normal functioning of the female sex glands is ensured by manganese. This element should be in the body of the future mother at the planning stage of conception. The daily rate is 15 mg.

Equally important is the use of folic acid. Take her woman to the very first stage of planning conception. This element is responsible for the safe development of the fetus. The daily rate is 1 mg. You need to take folic acid for ninety days.

A reliable guarantee that the future child will be born healthy not only physically, but also mentally, is iodine. At the planning stage of conception, a woman is obliged to take vitamin complexes containing this useful microcell.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle

A woman who wants to know how to prepare the body for conception, must comply with the rules of healthy lifestyles. A woman should refuse:

• alcoholic beverages;
• drugs;
• cigarettes;
• caffeine;
• some medications.

Nicotine use by a woman contributes to the appearance of vascular spasms. This significantly complicates the pregnancy and often leads to premature birth. Also, the use of drugs by a woman can significantly slow down embryonic growth, then lead to fetal death. The greatest toxicity has marijuana. Once in the bloodstream, toxins are transmitted to the fetus. As a result of this, the child, as an adult, can also start taking drugs.

In smoking women, children appear prematurely, they are characterized by pain, small stature, frailty. Some smokers face miscarriages, infertility. The most terrible consequence of the abuse of tobacco products is sudden infant mortality syndrome.

Congenital anomalies are triggered by the use of alcohol. High-quality dry wine, if you drink it in moderation, does not harm. But the surrogate, as well as effervescent alcoholic cocktails are very harmful. A woman periodically retiring into binges, runs the risk of confronting fetal alcohol syndrome. An unborn child may grow poorly and be poorly mentally developed.

Pregnancy can end in miscarriage if you abuse caffeine. Uncontrolled intake of medications contributes to unforeseen complications. Medicines  women should be appointed only by a gynecologist.

Also, a woman needs to make her body healthy, strong. For this, it is advisable for a woman to start performing aerobic exercises, attend fitness trainings, get rid of excess weight and strengthen muscles.

Dietary Features

The diet of a woman should be balanced. It is recommended to consume as much starchy carbohydrates as possible. Very useful pasta. It is also recommended to eat rice, boiled potatoes and bread. Fruits and vegetables a woman needs to eat 5 servings per day.

Great benefit to the body brings low-fat "milk". A woman needs to drink as much milk and kefir as possible, eat yogurts. Great if you can drink homemade milk.

Meat, fish and poultry should be thoroughly cultivated. It is advisable to bake or boil these foods. It is undesirable to fry them. The use of sweets to a woman should be limited. The same goes for fat. Water women need to drink a lot. On the day it is advisable to drink 6-8 glasses.

The future father should pay attention to the use of whole-grain products, fresh fruit. Meat woman preferably cooked in a double boiler or bake. This contributes to the quality of sperm. The representatives of the stronger sex, preferring such food, have the following indicators: 6,000,000,000 seed cells / 1 mm. sperm

A woman should eat more:

• seafood;
• fish;
• vegetables;
• legumes;
• olive oil.

All these products are preferably steamed.

By adhering to such a menu, future parents have every chance of a safe conception, carrying and the birth of offspring. A prepared woman's body ensures that the offspring will be healthy and strong.

According to modern researchers, a woman who wants to give birth to a son should eat 180 grams more. Food should be more high in calories. It is necessary to impose on the woman on meat, a potato. If you want to give birth to a daughter, then preference should be given to the bird, herbal products.

All about preparing men for conception.

Proper planning of pregnancy - the key to the birth of a strong and healthy baby. Both parents should plan a pregnancy: mom and dad. A man must begin preparation 3 months before the desired date of conception. It is during this time that the sperm is updated.

What kind of male doctor should I contact when planning a pregnancy?

Parents' good health plays one of the main roles in conceiving and giving birth to a child. Therefore, the first thing a man should go to the doctor. You can be examined in a public clinic and in private. In a public clinic, the process can last much longer than in a private clinic.

To begin, send the future dad to the urologist. Or better to the urologist-andrologist. Urology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that prevent conception. Andrologist is responsible for the reproductive health of men. In addition to the urologist you need to go to the therapist for a general health examination.

Usually men are reluctant to consult a doctor. It's connected with psychological reasons. Fear of inadequate, untenable greatly stresses the pride of men. If your man refuses to go to the doctor, try to convince him of the correctness of this decision.

Prepare for pregnancy should not only mom, but dad

Analyzes for men when planning pregnancy

The following tests are mandatory when planning a pregnancy:

Analysis of genital infections (STDs)

Important: Sexual infections in men most often occur in a latent form and are not externally manifested in any way. However, these infections adversely affect conception.

But even if conception occurred with an STD, the causative agents infectious diseases  can harm the fetus.

Be sure to conduct a study on the identification of pathogens of genital infections (chlamydia, Trichomonas, gonococcus, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, gardnelly). It is also necessary to be examined for the presence of oncogenic types of human papillomavirus.

There are several methods for testing STDs:

• PCR  - a smear is taken from the urethral mucosa (the method is considered the most accurate)
• ELISA  - is determined by the presence of antibodies in the blood to infectious pathogens
• Bakposev

Blood test for HIV, hepatitis C and B

Important: Doctors recommend testing for HIV to all people, regardless of pregnancy planning.

But if we are talking about the planning of a child by a man and a woman, then donation of blood for the detection of these diseases is essential. HIV and hepatitis C and B are destructive not only for the fetus, but also for the parents.

Blood tests for TORCH infection

TORCH infections include:

• rubella
• cytomegalovirus
• herpes
• toxoplasmosis

These infections are fraught with infection of the fetus in the womb of the mother, further damage to the systems and organs.

General analysis of urine and blood

These tests reflect the general health of a man. The treatment of almost all diseases begins with the delivery of urine and blood.

Blood chemistry

The work of the liver, kidneys, spleen, etc. is determined. On the day of analysis it is important to eat nothing before drawing blood.

Examination of men when planning pregnancy

Important: If the couple as a result of long attempts fails to conceive a child, a man is recommended to undergo a more thorough examination.

Spermogram

This type of examination shows whether a man is able to conceive a child in a natural way. Sperm is examined under a microscope. Motility, quantity, sperm concentration is determined.

Prostate secretion test

Detection and treatment of inflammation in the prostate.

Blood test for hormones

The level of hormones important at conception is investigated: testosterone, also insulin and gonadotropic hormones.

Determination of blood type and Rh factor

Blood on the group and the definition of the Rh factor is not necessary if the man already knows this data. If you do not know, then you need to donate blood. According to the results, you can determine what type of blood the child will have.

Important: The Rh factor must be established, if it is negative for the future mother of the child. There is the likelihood of Rh-mother and fetus conflict, which can cause miscarriage.

If a man, like his darling, a negative Rh factor - rhesus conflict will not. In any case, the leading pregnancy physician must be aware and prepared.

Nutrition for men when planning pregnancy

1. Who wants to become a father should prefer meat, fish, herbs, fruits and vegetables, nuts
2. From sweet, flour products in large quantities, soda, fatty and spicy dishes should be abandoned

Good nutrition is a very important step on the path to procreation. Together with the products, the man receives nutrients that affect the quality of spermatozoa.

What vitamins to drink a man when planning pregnancy?

Vitamins from food may not be enough. The main vitamins that have a beneficial effect on conception are:

• Folic acid
• Selenium
• L-carnitine
• Vitamins C and E

Vitamin E for men when planning pregnancy

• Vitamin E affects male fertility. The higher the fertility, the more likely to create offspring
• Vitamin E improves motility and vitality of sperm.

Omega-3 for men when planning pregnancy

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids have a beneficial effect on the maturation of sperm. With a sufficient amount of these substances, spermatozoa become elastic and mobile, which increases the chances of getting pregnant.

Multivitamins for men when planning pregnancy

There are multivitamins for men that can help them become fathers. Here are the names of some of them:

1. Spermaktiv
2. Speroton
3. Ortomol
4. Spermstrong

Important: To select a multivitamin, you must consult a andrologist. This specialist deals with issues of the male reproductive system. Only a specialist will be able to determine in what dosage and which vitamins the body of a man needs.

Can a man when planning pregnancy drink alcohol?

Often, men are interested in the question - is it possible to drink alcohol when planning a child? The answer is categorical - not.

• Some men are sure that it is worth refusing only from strong alcoholic beverages. However, even alcoholic beverages with a low percentage of alcohol (for example, beer) can adversely affect the health of the fetus.
• In the sperm of a non-drinker, there are about a quarter of the damaged sperm. This is a lot, you think. But if a man consumes alcohol, the percentage of defective spermatozoa increases. Hence the risk of conceiving an unhealthy child.
• Smoking has the same negative effect. It is better to abandon addiction, because the health of the future baby is at stake

Important: Completely eliminate the alcohol should be three months before the desired conception. It is during this time that the sperm cells are fully updated.

A competent approach to conception is an indicator of the responsible attitude of a man to the forthcoming fatherhood. Such a man will be a loving and caring father. Support your man in an effort to continue a healthy race.

Maternal feelings can wake up long before the baby is born. There comes a time when a woman realizes: “I want to get pregnant, but I don’t know where to start.” A lot of recommendations can confuse, create a false idea about the stages of preparation.

If it is deliberate, responsible approach to this issue, “sorting everything out” will become much easier.

Start with him if you want to get pregnant

Every woman has a personal idea of ​​carrying a child, feels pregnant in its own way. On the way to the beautiful period should take into account specific principlesthat will help the future mother to prepare properly, efficiently.

To plan the conception of a child a married couple should be together.

If a woman wants to get pregnant, you should start with yourself, which will maximize the likelihood of having a healthy baby. Her state of health, general condition are fundamental to the planning.

The earlier the “revision” is carried out, the better, but not later than three months before the desired fertilization. Important events include:

• smoking cessation, alcohol;
• good nutrition;
• getting enough vitamins;
• an exception drugs;
• moderate exercise, to prepare the body, muscles for carrying, subsequent delivery.
• maintaining a normal weight, which will improve ovulation.

Although the main role in childbirth is given to a woman, the “creation” process involves both partnersand the lifestyle of the future father is of great importance.

It's about abstaining from alcohol,  smoking, about his rational nutrition. Men who are overweight, it is important to take care of their weight - it is proved that this factor affects the metabolism of the future baby.

The presence of diseases is a reason for examination, possible further treatment, but preventive visits to doctors are recommended to everyone.

Ovulation Calculation

Ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary) occurs approximately one and a half to two weeks from the first day of menstruation.

There are other signs of its approach:

• change of discharge;
• aching pain in the abdomen;
• breast tenderness;
• sexual desire;
• mood swings.

Relying on approximate dates, indirect symptoms, you can guess  because the nature of the cycle is different for everyone. The ideal period for fertilization is 5 days before ovulation plus 1 after. Daily basal temperature measurements will help determine positive dates.

Fixing indicators allows you to see a certain pattern of the cycle, the days of ovulation. Measure properly, for example, strictly after 3-6 hours of sleep, lying, at about the same time.

You can find out the ovulation period by applying special pharmacy tests.

Another way is to undergo an ultrasound every few days, from about 9-10 days of the menstrual cycle, following in a similar way the release of the egg into the uterus.

Conducting semen

So called semen research method to determine the ability to fertilize.

It is advisable to pass the analysis to a man at the preparation stage., to assess the activity, the quality of sperm.

If you find any deviations from the norm, you must retake the spermogram after 1-2 weeks, visit the andrologist (specialist in diseases of the male genitalia).

Features of intercourse

The period "before pregnancy" logically ends with the successful fertilization of the egg, therefore the process of conception itself, the actions before and after it are also worthy of attention.

Postures should facilitate the simplest, closest sperm to the uterus. The following poses are considered to be successful:  "She is down - he is on top" ("missionary"), "she is lying on her side - he is behind", "she is kneeling - he is behind."

At the time of conception, the main thing is to ensure close bodily contact, to have fun without getting hung up on the result. For greater effectiveness, after the act of the partner, you should put a pillow under the buttocks, raise the pelvis high, legs (“birch” pose), just lie on your side.

Psychological setting

A woman's mood determines her behavior, which means she can be a great helper during the preparation period.

It happens that the couple is not easy to quickly achieve the goal, therefore psychological aspect is very important. Partner support is also needed during pregnancy.

Since the representatives of the stronger sex, by their nature, do not understand the feeling of being pregnant, it is worth sharing their emotions, feelings, and helping them to feel their involvement.

Interesting fact!  Women are inspired by the mass of national signs that you want to believe. Ficus, willow branches, prolific fish, every kind of contact with those who are already in an “interesting position” - all this will help to get pregnant soon, according to such beliefs.

Some closer ethnoscience,   offering its own ways of successful development of events, which is confirmed by positive results.

You can begin to take infusions of herbs that help the ovaries work better, prepare the uterus for future genera, clean inflammatory processes. The most famous borovaya (forest) uterus, red brush are effective.

Attending doctors and testing

Preparing to become a mother, you should undergo a comprehensive examination of the body.

it   will help to identify problems in a timely manner, exempt from numerous visits while waiting for a child:

Note! A visit to the doctors, examinations show the future mother her ability, willingness to conceive, bear, give birth to the baby. Sometimes, even with a healthy woman or a successful treatment, it is impossible to get pregnant.

The fact that some couples succeed in achieving the goal at once, speaks of the successful coincidence of all the favorable factors. The lack of results for 6 months is considered the norm, so you should just continue your efforts.

The best age for conception

The well-known concept of "childbearing age" is conventionally considered as the period of a girl's life, a woman when she is able to conceive, give birth, that is, with the arrival of the first menstrual periods until menopause.

Still, the best reproductive time is between 20 and 35 years  which is explained by simple physiology. Up to this point, hormonal background is still, and after - already unstable. And the firstborn doctors advise to give birth before 25-27 years.

Too early or   late pregnancy can cause complications in mom. For a baby, it is fraught with various negative consequences in terms of physical, mental, social, mental development. However, everything is individual, with which it is difficult to argue, knowing the experience of very young and already adult mothers.

The existing age range does not scare many women who really want to get pregnant and begin to prepare for it.

The decision is usually made consciously, for various reasons.

Some were not ready before, others tried unsuccessfully to conceive or underwent a long course of treatment, others simply love children, want to create a large family - each has its own motives.  This desire is quite feasible even after 40.

The reproductive age of men is much greater  it is determined by the body's ability to reproduce sperm. However, gradually their quality, mobility deteriorates, so the most favorable "male" age is up to 35-40 years.

Risk factors

Studying the necessary information, prospective parents should know the circumstances that could adversely affect the planned pregnancy.

Risk factors other than age are:

• genetic diseases  - the presence of hereditary pathologies in both partners, their parents, close relatives, are detected after certain tests;
• features of sex life  - promiscuous sex before conception, as a result - various infections that require long, careful treatment;
• obstetric and gynecological history - the quantity, quality, course of all previous pregnancies, childbirth, diseases of the genital organs, tumors;
• chronic infections of all body systems, diseases of various organs;
• working conditions  ("Occupational hazard") - constant physical stress, pathogenic factors such as dust, toxic substances, various kinds of radiation, microbes, viruses;
• stress, emotional stress  - can cause unsuccessful attempts to conceive a child, contribute to unstable development of the fetus;
• bad habits, "Unhealthy" food, strong drugs - can cause irreparable harm to the unborn baby, getting into the mother's body after fertilization. The most dangerous period is the first trimester;
• diets- you should refrain from trying to reduce your weight as much as possible, you just need to eat right.

Group the degree of risk of a specific pregnancy is determined by the gynecologist  after finding out the entire medical history of the woman.

What vitamins to stock up

Developing in the womb very quickly, all the necessary baby takes from the mother.

The life support of the fetus can negatively affect the general condition,  appearance of the pregnant. Lack of vitamins, minerals provokes hair loss, destruction of tooth enamel, the appearance of fatigue, lethargy, heart ailments, vascular disorders, neuroses - the list is rather big.

If a woman wants to get pregnant, it is worth planning to take vitamins in advance  or already start taking them, which will bring good results. The main are folic acid, iodine - they are especially important at the initial stage. Calcium, iron, magnesium, omega 3 are often prescribed.

Rest   vitamins, trace elements can be obtained from food,   vegetables, fruits, if there is no obvious deficiency. These are vitamins of group B, vitamin A, C, D (it is useful to walk under the sun), E, ​​zinc.

Caution!  What vitamins to take, their amount - it is better to find out, after consulting with your supervising doctor, especially during gestation. He sees the "complete picture", can assess the patient's condition, based on the results of tests.

Self assignment vitamin complexes  is fraught with a violation of intrauterine development.

Having dealt with the nuances of preparation, a woman can conclude: “I want to get pregnant and know where to start!”. Starting to implement its plans, after some time she will fully experience the joy of motherhood.

This video will tell you how a man should prepare to conceive a child:

About planning a pregnancy, find out from this video:

This video tells how to prepare for the conception of a baby:

Unbeknownst to himself, man came to believe that children should not be born on their own. There was the science of family planning, which found answers to how a man can prepare for conception, and whether the female body needs special conditions  in order to perform maternal functions.

A hundred years ago, such a question did not arise in the representatives of the human race. We had to think about it when married couples were faced with the fact that it was impossible to produce offspring. Why did so many children be born before families, and now a woman is not able to become pregnant and bear even one?
  The causes of infertility man created for himself, affecting the environment, making significant changes in their lifestyle, nutrition system. The body immediately responded to everything that happens, putting forward its own system of protection - in the absence of optimal conditions, pregnancy does not occur. Before medicine, the task was set: to provide all possible assistance so that a healthy baby would appear in every family.
  The solution of the problem led to the fact that couples should not hope for the good of fate, but it is necessary to consciously take steps in this direction. It turned out that the preparation for conception is not so difficult, and the reward for parents is the completion of their family with a new member.

The most important stage - to be examined

A man, like a woman, needs to be examined in order to have information about how great is the risk to remain childless or to conceive an inferior child.
  The danger may lie in the genetic and physiological abnormalities that the body hides, asymptomatic diseases. They do not declare themselves until the moment when the couple fails to achieve pregnancy within a year or a longer period of time. If, through one of the spouses, there were cases of birth of children with serious pathologies, a visit to a gynecologist, andrologist, genetics, specialized specialists will ensure the conception of healthy offspring. Full and detailed examination in this situation will be the key to success.
Recommendations of doctors and carrying out the necessary corrective and therapeutic measures are carried out in advance of the planned pregnancy. Having taken care of their own health, the spouses lay a solid foundation so that nothing threatens their child.

Ovulation, its timing and role for conception

The female body is designed so that pregnancy occurs on a single day in the menstrual cycle. Asking how to prepare for conception, you should know what time to pay special attention so as not to miss an exceptional opportunity.
  Day "X" is located approximately in the middle of the cycle and makes itself felt by certain symptoms: the basal temperature rises, a large number of female hormones are produced, the character changes vaginal discharge. They acquire a texture reminiscent of egg white (of course, raw), and become more viscous and transparent than usual.
  The most convenient way to determine ovulation with a special test, sold in pharmacies. Before you hold it, it is enough that a woman’s urine gets on the paper. Two strips appearing on it with the same intensity of staining indicate that the organism is ready to meet with spermatozoa.

Preparing a man for conceiving a child

A baby embryo has an equal number of chromosomes that it receives from parents, therefore, the child’s health depends on his father in half. Spermatozoa are updated in 72-75 days, which makes it necessary for a man to take care of his health before conceiving in about 3 months.
  The fertility of a man is reflected in the development of high-quality spermatozoa with a high degree of activity and without the presence of pathologies. This promotes a healthy lifestyle, in which there is no place for bad habits. They should replace a balanced diet. In the food must be the presence of all types of products (preferably of natural origin), vitamins of group B and folic acid.

A positive effect on the reproductive ability of maintaining in the testicles temperature 2-3 degrees below body temperature. To ensure this condition will help the rejection of:
  • hot tubs;
  • visits to saunas;
  • cycling;
  • wearing tight underwear.
  It does not hurt to be screened for the detection of infectious and other diseases, to pass blood tests and semen. If necessary, follow all the recommendations of the doctors.

How to behave a woman before pregnancy

Regardless of when conception is planned, the female body begins to prepare for it even in the womb. The girl at the time of birth formed eggs, which will begin to mature in the reproductive period. In this regard, a woman care about future offspring is more laborious than preparing a man for conceiving a child. She always has to remember her purpose and not pose a threat to this process.
  In addition to giving up bad habits, you should take care of losing excess weight, in which effective exercise will be provided by playing sports, maintaining an active lifestyle. A special role is assigned nutritionwhere any diets are unacceptable (unless they are prescribed by a doctor), but the presence of vitamins is obligatory.
  Remove the IUD, the use of hormonal contraceptives ceased. They are completely discarded or replaced with condoms. If there is no protection, then the possibility of conception in the first month of the twins is great, which then decreases significantly.

Some recommendations apply to both men and women. Examination of the body before pregnancy is a guarantee of the birth of a healthy baby, but there are some prohibitions. So, passage of radiological examination is inadmissible. The dose of radiation received by one of the parents can cause an ectopic pregnancy, fetal death, miscarriage, and the birth of a child with incurable pathologies.
  It is necessary to stop taking drugs - analgesics, antiviral and others. All diseases associated with them are treated before they plan to conceive a child. For this purpose, a survey of spouses is carried out in order to save their body from possible infections and chronic ailments.
  Negative impact of carrying mobile phones in the immediate vicinity of the reproductive organs. Harmful is considered to be a long stay in front of the screens of televisions and monitors in the sector of the rays coming from the microwave ovens.
  The main element of the preparation is mutual love, which gives the relationship a special strength. Under her influence, all canons are crumbling, opening up the possibility of creating a new person.
