14 DAY TRIAL // When it comes to conceiving a child, women must remember that timing is indeed critical. The menstrual cycle features several critically-important days, during which fertility peaks, and a pregnancy can set in, problem-free.
A new study of 204 infertile Australian women revealed that most of them had no ideas about which days were proper for conception. Only around 1-in-6 of them was able to identify the correct times.
“This study found a majority of the women seeking fertility treatment had insufficient knowledge of when to time intercourse to optimize natural conception,” Monash University scientist Kerry Hampton said, quoted by Science Blog.
For the record, women trying to have a baby should attempt conception starting three days before ovulation. The latter usually starts around 14 days after the period.
