Fertility tips handed down from one generation to the next are like a teenager’s romance, either fickle or exaggerated. We spoon out the top five important facts about fertility from the several myths lurking in the sea
What’s the right position for conceiving?
There’s nothing like the ‘right position’; every woman’s body is different hence conception has nothing to do with posture. Research has no proof but certain angles and positions may have worked for certain couples by luck.
Tips: What could help is deep penetration coupled with maximum cervical contact.
Do men have a biological clock?
Ticking of the biological clock is associated with women, but researchers say that the biological clock also starts ticking for men. The chances for a man to bear fruit decrease with age. Plus the health of the sperm deteriorates, further reducing the chances to create a newborn.
Is ovulation the best phase for conceiving?
Timing is important; women need to know when they are most fertile in the month. There are six fertile days in a month, five before ovulation and one on the day of ovulation.
Tips: Research suggests that the chances are greater two days before ovulation.
How tight are your briefs?
They say tight fit briefs reduce sperm count, since the testicles are too close to the body – increasing the scrotal temperature. But researches believe that how tight your briefs are has no impact on your sperm count.
Tips: A healthy diet and lifestyle is what counts, it will improve your chances to have a child.
Is there an aphrodisiac diet to improve fertility?
The answer is no, but it is advised to reduce processed food consumption and increase fiber and take in the necessary nutrients. But the bottom line is eat healthy and exercise regularly.
Tips: Folic acids prevents defects and improves sperm count.
