Are Saturdays Really the Best Day to Get Pregnant?
It may seem like Saturday’s should be a great day to get pregnant since you may find that you have more time to available for sex than most any other days of the week, although I have always found Sundays to be nice lounging days as well. Unfortunately, it’s a bit more challenging than that to pick the best day to get pregnant, although consuming your free time with lots of unprotected, yet safe sex certainly will increase the odds (unprotected, safe sex means that you, as well as your partner, are monogamous and have been examined by a doctor to prove that you are both clear of any sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). This is important. It is easier to contract a life impacting STD than it is to get pregnant!) Picking the best day to get pregnant all has to do with understanding your body and knowing your menstrual cycle.
Think about it this way, the menstrual cycle is all about cleansing. It is your body naturally cleaning and removing the unfertilized egg and the fluids that go along with it. If you have no desire to get pregnant, right before, during or right after your period are great days for safe, unprotected sex! The further after or before your period the greater the chance that you will become pregnant. The odds of getting pregnant in the first 5-7 days during and after your period are about 1% and rise dramatically peaking at the 14th day and then dropping off again until you start all over with your new period. Simple, isn’t it? All you need to do is find that elusive 14th day.
Here’s the process. Half way between two periods, your ovary releases the ovum (a mature egg) to be fertilized. An ovum’s life cycle could be as long as 24 hours, therefore you have about one optimal day during each month to get pregnant. The key is to find that one day. Actually, since sperm have a about a 72 hour lifespan (3 days), they can be swimming around waiting for the mature egg, so you really have about 3-5 days, during the middle of your menstruation cycle, that are prime for getting pregnant.
A woman typically has a 28 day cycle between periods. So what you need to do is get out a calendar, mark down when you start your period and check each day until you get to the 14th day. It is important to note however, that the menstrual cycle is different in all women and could be as low as 23 days or as high as 35 days. To be even more accurate, count the days between your periods and divide that number by two in order to arrive at your personal best day to get pregnant. This is the day that your body is now releasing the mature egg through the fallopian tube and into the uterus. The closer you are to the mid-range of your next and last periods the better the chances of getting pregnant.
During ovulation, your body is releasing hormones to prepare for conception and is naturally doing everything it can to get that egg fertilized by the sperm. As a consequence, you may experience a higher libido than normal, be a little more moody or emotional, your breasts may feel bigger and more sensitive and you may even experience some pain or spasms as the egg is released from the ovary. Keep an eye out for these signs during the middle of month and you will have an even better chance of picking “your day”.
Without understanding your menstrual cycle, on average, the likelihood of unprotected sex leading to pregnancy is about 3-5%. However, if you know your menstrual cycle, have kept track of your periods, listen to your body and are sensitive to the changes it is experiencing, then you will be able to pick the best day to get pregnant. If you pick the right day, and you are ovulating, unprotected sex will lead to pregnancy 30% of the time. Who knows, maybe Saturday will be your best day to get pregnant.
