The best time of day and year to get pregnant
We know that the best time for conception coincides with the fertile period of the woman, whose calculation depends on the phases of the menstrual cycle and is concentrated in the days of ovulation, yet, it seems that there are times of the day and of the year that , more than others, could multiply the chances of a possible conception.
All this seems to have a scientific basis: some researchers from the University of Zurich in Switzerland have in fact conducted studies that would confirm it. In particular, it seems that there is a precise moment of the day that would facilitate conception, but not only that, the chances would increase. in a certain period of the year which coincides with one of the most popular seasons. Are you curious to find out what they are? Here are the answers below!
What is the best time of the day?
Early in the morning would be the best time to maximize the chances of having a child, especially before 7.30am. This is because the quality of the sperm would be optimal. To reach these conclusions, the researchers analyzed 12,245 sperm samples from 7,068 men, collected between 1994 and 2015.
Taking into consideration a series of factors, including the concentration of spermatozoa, the total number, their motility and morphology, it emerged that the same spermatozoa have their own biological clock of 24 hours and therefore would follow the normal Cicardian rhythms. This suggests that they would have a greater chance of success early in the day. Specifically, as claimed by Brigitte Leeners, the professor who conducted the study, "The seminal samples taken early in the morning, and precisely before 7:30 am, are those that contain the morphologically most suitable spermatozoa for the purpose of reaching the" ovum ".
And of the year?
If early in the morning is the best time of day to try to get pregnant, you must also consider what time of year you are. That's right: it seems that spring is the ideal season to increase the chances of getting pregnant. claims Brigitte Leeners, "in the spring a significant increase in the total number of spermatozoa was observed and in the summer, on the contrary, there were significant decreases in this same variable." Specifically, March, April and May are the months in which semen quality would be the best.
At the same time, however, an alarming fact arrives: according to a study published in 2017 in the journal Human Reproduction Update, the sperm of Westerners is progressively deteriorating. In forty "years, the number of spermatozoa would have even decreased by almost 60%. A worrying phenomenon that could be linked to endocrine disruptors, considered harmful to health and, apparently, also to fertility.
