Why can’t I get pregnant even though I ovulate?

Everyone knows that the first prerequisite for a successful pregnancy is that both men and women must have healthy physiological systems, and secondly, women must be in their ovulation period. Many women know their ovulation period very well, which can help women solve many troubles during their menstrual period. However, many married women have symptoms of ovulation but cannot get pregnant? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

1. Having sex on the day of ovulation does not necessarily guarantee pregnancy

Under normal circumstances, a woman's mature eggs are released once a month, and the time of ovulation is in the middle of the menstrual cycle. [Click to use the ovulation day calculator] If you have sex at this time, the sperm and the mature egg are likely to meet in the ampulla of the fallopian tube and complete the fertilization process. This is the ideal pregnancy situation. Despite this, having sex on the day of ovulation is not always successful.

2. Psychological factors can affect pregnancy

In addition to the necessary conditions of mature sperm and eggs, psychological factors are also likely to affect conception. This is because pregnancy is a complex physiological process in nature, and some couples deliberately intervene artificially. The more anxious they are, the more likely they are to reduce the chance of conception. In fact, if you keep a close eye on the ovulation period, not only will women be affected by negative emotions during ovulation, but men are particularly sensitive in this regard, because after repeated failed attempts, the psychological pressure will suddenly increase, affecting male sexual function and sperm quality.

3. How to improve pregnancy rate

Generally speaking, after sperm is discharged from the body, it can survive in the woman's fallopian tube and cervix for 48 hours, and in the vagina for about 0.5-2.5 hours. After the egg is released from the ovary, it survives in the fallopian tube for between 12 and 16 hours. Conception occurs in or near the cumulus of the fallopian tube. Since sperm survives longer than eggs, if sperm escapes after ovulation, the chance of conception is likely to be lost. If you are planning to get pregnant, you might as well have sex every two days a week before ovulation, so that the sperm can wait in the fallopian tube for conception in advance, and wait for the egg to be released from the ovary to successfully complete conception.
