Natural conception takes place when the sperm cells, after intercourse, swim up through the neck of the uterus and into the uterine tubes where they meet the egg and fertilise it. After the fertilisation of the egg in the uterine tube the egg cleaves, and after a couple of days the fertilised egg has moved down though the uterine tube and into the uterus. In the uterus the egg adheres to the endometrium and develops into a baby.
In order for this process to take place it is important that the woman produces mature eggs, has an ovulation, has passage through the uterine tubes, and that the man’s sperm quality is all right.
About 15 to 20% of all couples who try to conceive each month will get pregnant. There are numerous factors that play a role in whether a couple conceives, but some basic things that you can do to try and enhance natural conception include:
- Timing
- Sexual position
- Dietary modifications and exercise
- Lifestyle changes
- Use of lubricants
- Reduce stress
