    During ovulation period, sexual intercourse can improve the success rate of pregnancy by monitoring ovulation time, adjusting the frequency of intercourse, optimizing body position selection, improving living habits, and maintaining a relaxed mind.

    1. Monitor ovulation time

    Determine the day of ovulation through basal body temperature measurement, ovulation test strips or ultrasound monitoring. The probability of pregnancy is highest 1-2 days before and on the day of ovulation. When cervical mucus changes to an egg white-like texture, it indicates that ovulation is imminent.

    2. Adjust the frequency of intercourse

    Having intercourse every other day during the ovulation period can ensure the quality of sperm and avoid the decrease in sperm concentration caused by intercourse every day. Having sex 2-3 times a week during the non-ovulatory period can help maintain reproductive system health.

    3. Optimize body position selection

    The male-on-female position is beneficial to semen storage. After intercourse, the woman should elevate her buttocks for 20-30 minutes. Avoid using lubricants as they may affect sperm motility.

    4. Improve living habits

    Both parties need to quit smoking and drinking, the male should avoid high temperature environments, and the female should keep her BMI between 18.5-24. Supplement 400 micrograms of folic acid daily, and take in appropriate amounts of zinc, vitamin E and other nutrients.

    5. Keep a relaxed attitude

    Anxiety will inhibit the function of the hypothalamus, so it is recommended to reduce stress through meditation, yoga and other methods. If you are unable to conceive after 6 months of trying, you need to seek medical attention to evaluate factors such as fallopian tube patency and sperm quality.

    During pregnancy preparations, women should maintain a regular schedule to avoid overexertion. Women can briskly walk for 30 minutes a day to improve pelvic blood circulation. Pay attention to a balanced intake of high-quality protein and fresh vegetables and fruits, and limit caffeine intake. There is no need to rinse the vagina deliberately after intercourse, just clean the vulva normally. If you have irregular menstruation or polycystic ovary syndrome, it is recommended to conduct ovulation monitoring and fertility guidance under the guidance of a doctor.
