Article : Fertility can affect your chances of getting pregnant.

If you are interested in the topic "get pregnant fertility", you might find some useful information in the following paragraphs.

If a woman wants to get pregnant, male sperms have to fertilize the female egg cell which is only possible during her fertile days. With a regular cycle of 28 days, the ovulation should take place on the 14th day after the first day of the last period. The egg cell normally can be fertilized over a period of 12 to max. 24 hours. The male sperms do have a life expectancy of 2-3 days (sometimes up to 5 days). Therefore, the fertile days are normally between the 10th and 16th days after the beginning of the period, i.e. these are the days of the "get pregnant fertility".

The fertility of a woman is dependent on a lot of factors:

1.) Age
With the increasing age of a woman, her fertility decreases. Whereas a healthy woman at the age of 20 normally only has to wait 2 1/2 months to get pregnant, a 40-year old woman sometimes has to wait up to 2 years to conceive. However, a decreasing quantity and quality of their sperms can also be observed in older men.

2.) Health and nutrition
The health of the woman who would like to get pregnant is also a decisive factor for "get pregnant fertility". If a woman, for example, is suffering from an illness and has to take a special type of medication, this may prevent the woman from being fertile for a period of time. Furthermore, a healthy nutrition is also essential for the fertility of a woman. A woman who would like to get pregnant should also take care that she is neither overweight nor underweight.
