Fertility Cycle

Fertility is the capability to conceive or to capability to get pregnant through normal sexual activity.   Fertility rate is used to determine the number of children born per couple, person or populace. Fecundity is different from fertility rate, which is defined as the potential for reproduction. Infertility is deficient fertility.  It is the inability to conceive.  Human fertility depends on factors of nutrition, sexual behavior, culture, instinct, endocrinology, timing, economics, lifestyle, and emotions.

Men and women both have hormonal cycles which establish when a woman can be pregnant and when a man is most virile. The fertility cycle of the female is estimated to be twenty eight days long, but the male fertility cycle is changeable. At any time of the month, men can produce sperm and ejaculate, but their sperm quality dips irregularly, which scientists think that it has something to do with their internal cycle.  In addition to that, age also plays a role, especially for women.

A woman must ovulate to be able to conceive a child.   A mature egg must be discharged from one of her ovaries and her male partner must ejaculate millions of mature, fertile sperm. As the sperm passes through from the ovary to the uterus, the sperm must be reach and break through the egg. The fertilized egg should be able to divide numerous times, implant in the uterus, and form the placenta that is its lifeline until birth.

Even though women can be pregnant at any time during their menstrual cycle, fertility hits the highest point during just a few days of the cycle.  Usually it’s two days before and two days after the ovulation date. The window of fertility is different with every woman, just as the date of the ovulation frequently differs from cycle to cycle for the same woman. Usually the ovule is capable of being fertilized for up to forty eight hours after it is released from the ovary. Sperm continues to exist inside the uterus between the averages of forty eight to seventy two hours, with the maximum time being five days or one hundred twenty hours.
