Having sex in the morning may be the key to providing enough sperm to ensure fertilization. Knowing what days in a cycle to have sex is usually not the problem for many couples. Actually having sex on those days seems to be the obstacle that must be overcome. Work schedules, family responsibilities, and social obligations can put a damper on even the best of sex lives. The anxiety of having to perform on a particular day may create tension between the couple and add unnecessary stress to the situation.
Stress can prevent pregnancy from occurring .
The hypothalamus, the gland that controls the flow and timing of all your reproductive hormones, is sensitive to both emotional and physical tensions. A couple must take time to examine their lives and eliminate stressful situations, be they major or minor stresses. Couples should also incorporate relaxing activities, such as exercise, reading, or gardening, into their schedules to keep the stress level in check at all times, but especially before trying to conceive. After determining the best time to have sexual intercourse, couples must also examine how they have sex to ensure their practices encourage conception. Although some sexual positions heighten arousal, encourage sexual stimulation, and are preferred for achieving orgasms by one or both partners, many of these positions do not allow proper positioning of the vagina.
