Trying to Conceive: Does an Orgasm Help?
March 30, 2009 at 6:29 AM by Cafe Melisa - Comments (3)
Just say "O"
It's your means to an end, but baby-making sex can be complicated. You need to know when you're ovulating and how much nooky is necessary to get the job done. But what else will help?
A man must climax in order for conception to occur, but does it help if you do, too?
According to a sex-ed article on conceiveonline, here's what you need to know about "the big O."
While some may claim that uterine contractions, which can occur during orgasm, help propel the sperm into your fallopian tubes, an expert quoted in the piece says he "doesn't believe there's any scientific evidence that shows they do."
But it isn't gonna hurt, either (another doc notes that the big O won't interfere with implantation, which some couples have wondered.)
And in fact orgasm for a woman, while not essential, does play a helpful role in TTC sex -- it makes the deed more fun, which in turn makes you both more eager to keep doing it.
If you're TTC, how do you and your partner try keep things fun and relaxed, and keep the baby-making pressure off?

i heard that it also helps if you're really turned on. something about the pH of your insides when you get hot and bothered. i'm not phrasing this well. i can't remember exactly .... erg.
Stop trying! Everyone that I know that tried and then stopped got pregnant. I wasn't trying to get pregnant with either of my kids when I did but boy am I glad I did. There is a friend of mine who tried for 12 long years. Her doctors said she couldn't get pregnant and they adopted and decided that they didn't want anymore kids. Now she is 26 weeks pregnant.

an old friend of mine couldn't get pregnant for the love of budda! (not judging any god's here) but i don't believe its about the "O". i think its how healthy the both of the partners. I stopped drinking coffee to get my little crazy three year old.
