💥Myth №1. The s*x of a baby can be planned if you have s*x on certain days of the cycle.
⠀
When a woman plans her pregnancy, she often looks for the information on how to conceive a boy or a girl. In fact, the s*x of a future child depends on which male chromosome will merge with the female X chromosome. There are two types of s***matozoa in the ej*****te – X and Y. In order to conceive a boy, you need a Y-s***matozoon to fertilize an egg, and to conceive a girl you need an X-s***matozoon to fertilize an egg. This is a lottery, the result of which cannot be influenced without the help of the latest assisted reproductive technologies. After all, during IVF you can do preimplantation genetic testing of an embryo (PGT) and select the embryo of the required s*x for transfer.
⠀
💥Myth №2. Conception of a child can occur only on the day of ovulation.
⠀
The surge of hormones occurs before the egg leaves the o***y. That is why, in order to get pregnant, s*xual in*******se must take place a few days before ovulation, and not necessarily during it. Spermatozoa can live in a woman's uterus from 3 to 5 days, during which there will be a high chance of conceiving a child. If you wait until ovulation occurs, you can miss the cherished moment of ovulation.
⠀
💥Myth №3. The frequency of s*x increases the chances of conception.
⠀
If s*x does not coincide with the "ovulation window", it does not lead to conception. In addition, the more often a man has or**sm, the fewer s***matozoa his semen contains. At the same time, s***matozoa can remain active in the cervical fluid for several days, so it is enough to have s*x every 2-3 days to conceive a child.
⠀
💥Myth №4. Some poses during or after s*x increase the chances of conception.
⠀
Yes, there is a myth that the chances of conceiving a child increase if you have s*x in a missionary position or you have a shoulderstand pose after. But there is no scientific evidence for the effectiveness of such methods.
⠀
💥Myth №5. A man cannot be infertile if he already has children.
⠀
Conceiving a child in the past, unfortunately, is not a guarantee of high male fertility today. Problems with the reproductive system can arise and develop quite quickly. Bad habits, various diseases and treatments, unhealthy diet, stress and even environmental issues can lead to the reduce of s***m quality. But don’t confuse the decrease in the number and motility of s***m and potency, the presence of which does not indicate the absence of fertility problems.
It is impossible to find out this problem according to the external signs.
⠀
✅ In order to determine a man's ability to conceive, it is necessary to a**lyze the ej*****te – to do a s***mogram.
