No matter if you’re a man or a woman, a climax certainly feels great and is very beneficial for emotional and physical wellbeing. However, although a woman’s climax is not essential for conception to occur, many people question if the a woman’s orgasm increase pregnancy chances?
How does an orgasm increase pregnancy chances?
What is the involvement of the female climax in conception? Here a 3 points on explaining how it can increase pregnancy chances;
#1: As a transport method
Following intercourse, semen enters the female reproductive tract at the highest part of the uterine canal, where the cervix sits. This happens because it’s easier for semen to pool in the posterior fornix of the canal. The shape of the fornix is designed to retain semen so it’s close to the cervix. There’s no need for accessibility guidelines for those swimmers if they’re left at the entrance.
Once retention happens at the entrance of the cervix, the cervical mucus will help the semen travel up through the cervical canal to meet the egg. This journey will be very positively influenced by the female climax. The ‘upsuck theory’ is popular among some experts, who believe that uterine contractions resulting from a woman’s climax actually assists the journey to the egg.
The upsuck theory is about the climatic contractions getting the semen higher up in the uterus, and up to the tubes, to bring them closer to the egg. The upsuck theory has been proven correct by research. It shows how some absorbable particles deliberately left in the posterior fornix appeared to have travelled as far as the uterine tubes following the woman’s climax.
Certain positions might also help to increase your chances of getting pregnant, due to the anatomy of the reproductive tract. Some positions will help with semen retention or facilitate more semen to travel up the cervix, aided by the cervical mucus.
Research done over many decades has proved that it’s actually the egg that chooses the semen that fertilizes it. Studies are being carried out to learn more about the relevance of the female climax in achieving pregnancy more easily.
#2: As a hormonal boost
A woman’s climax boost her chances of getting pregnant in more ways than one. Oxytocin is the number one hormone involved in a successful and harmonious life. Human beings secrete oxytocin in all their intimate experiences, whether it is physical, giving birth, or breastfeeding their children but, we only secrete this hormone whenever we feel well and loved – for example, when we’re having a meal or a good time with friends.
From intimacy to breastfeeding and raising our children, the presence of oxytocin plays a very important role in our lives. The more of this hormone that is produced, the better. Climax is the life experience where oxytocin release is second highest dose. If you’re wondering which experience produces the most oxytocin, it’s giving birth naturally (and the hour following this).
Female climax’s are therefore very important for those women who are trying to conceive. When the oxytocin hormone production is high, the chances of conception increase considerably. Research shows that pregnancy rates increase in those women who climax frequently.
#3: As a reproductive call
“There are several benefits to females that assist with conception – specifically the increased blood supply and hormone production, which increase the chances of pregnancy. An embryo needs a blood supply to live.
Intimacy and climax ensures there is sufficient blood flow into the pelvis.
The hormones oxytocin and prostaglandin are released to assist implantation further. We also know that intimacy helps to regulate the menstrual cycle in much the same way as semen might actually help trigger ovulation. The female reproductive system might release an egg in the presence of viable male.
Therefore a climax may help women conceive as everything is focused on the miracle of conception. For any beings, their biological purpose in life is to reproduce. Leaving offspring behind is the ultimate function life.
When a woman reaches her peak her body understands what it needs to do. When a female climax’s her body understands to start the process of getting pregnant but, is there a follicle ready to release an egg? The uterine contractions of intimacy might trigger ovulation to happen while at the same time might propel semen closer to the egg to increase the chances of conception.
Additional ways to increase your chances of conception
Other ways you may increase your chances of conception include charting your cycle, observing your cervical mucus, and being more informed and active on your most fertile days.
It is very important to be conscious of maintaining connection and intimacy in your relationship. Avoid turning loving, nurturing intimacy into a baby making objective. Be informed, but don’t let your cycle rule your life or it will no doubt become stressful and build resentment, which is counteractive and acts like a contraceptive. So let your instinct lead, relax, and, above all, enjoy it.
Although female climax is important and increases the chances of conception, make sure you’re both looking for ways to connect with each other. Too much pressure to perform can result in no one enjoying themselves and the last thing you want is to put up a brick wall between you.
Fertility is more about connection at a deep level than about the mechanical process.
Does female onanism increase fertility?
A healthy intimate life doesn’t always have to be about making babies. Fertile women, reaching climax helps with their fertility. The uterine peristalsis (contractions and movements of the uterus), the hormonal flow and the increased blood flow that frequent climax produce will greatly increase a woman’s chances of becoming pregnant.
When you’re trying to get pregnant, it’s always a good idea, you keep in sync with your partner. Talk to your partner about how important this is when you’re trying to conceive. Even if you’re not trying to get pregnant, having an awareness is very important for your health. If you’re having problems, make sure you talk to your health care provider and seek assistance.
Does female onanism affect ovulation?
It aids the right flow of hormones and blood to the areas needed. Having oxytocin flowing in your body in big quantities helps you reach your optimal potential. Anything forced, like timed intimacy every time, will not help you conceive.
Oxytocin, hormones, and love need to flow freely. When making a baby is at stake, any unwelcome pressure changes the normal flow we’re so much trying to achieve.
Does abstinence increase chances of pregnancy?
Intimate activity is really good for our health – not only when we’re trying to conceive but in general. Oxytocin flowing through our bodies makes us feel good. We know how well we feel after an oxytocin boost.
Abstinence is good for conception only if it’s part of a strategy between both partners. To avoid intimacy could decrease fertility instead of helping you with conception.
Can an climax cause a miscarriage?
Orgasms are healthy! There isn’t any pathology associated with male or female climax. Reproductive medicine takes care of both male and female reproductive conditions.
If you’re pregnant and you bleed after having intercourse it’s very unlikely that the blood has come from inside the uterus; once pregnancy is achieved, the cervical canal is blocked by a cervical mucus plug.
Bleeding following intercourse is usually associated with a small rupture of a capillary blood vessel. However, if you suspect you’re pregnant and you see fresh blood, contact your midwife or your ob-gyn doctor who will be able to provide advice about the steps to follow.
If the bleeding has been caused just by rough sex you might want to read Pregnancy Positions – 7 Ideas For Pregnant Couples.
If a woman starts to bleed after intercourse and the bleeding has caused a miscarriage. Uterine contractions might start to expel the baby but the miscarriage was already happening.
Why am I not getting pregnant even though I’m ovulating?
Knowing your menstrual cycle and being aware of your ovulation is a very good form of self-care. Many women can actually feel when they ovulate. Some can also feel their dominant ovary from which ovulation has occurred.
Although ovulation is definitely necessary for pregnancy to happen, it’s not the only thing that needs to happen for conception to take place.
Getting pregnant might be more difficult for some women, even when ovulation takes place. There can be a problem with her fallopian tubes causing infertility. Women usually tend to blame themselves when they can’t become pregnant after a few months of trying. If there’s a fertility problem, it could be in both partners.
Alternatively, just one partner could have a problem while the other is perfectly fertile. Sometimes the cause of infertility is not in the woman but in her partner. There might be a problem with his semen counts.
If you’ve been trying to get pregnant for a few months without success, it might be a good idea to talk to your health care provider, who will then be able to refer you to a fertility expert to find out what the issue is and help you conceive a baby.
For the vast majority of couples who are struggling with fertility, there isn’t a physical impediment. Finding the right professional will put you both on the right track to optimize your fertility and conceive that so much wanted baby in no time.
Where there isn’t a physical impediment in either partner to achieving a pregnancy, applied psychology is usually the number 1 treatment. Getting pregnant might prove more difficult than expected, especially if intimacy becomes a controlled baby making activity.
