Orgasme en zwanger worden: Is er een verband? - Verloskundigen PuurBegin in Kampen

Are you trying to conceive and wondering if an orgasm can help? Or maybe you are worried that not having an orgasm will reduce your chances. Midwives PuurBegin in Kampen we understand that there can be many questions and uncertainties surrounding this topic. That is why we have written this blog to provide you with clear and reliable information.

The quality of sex is more important than the quantity

It is a myth that you need to have sex as often as possible to get pregnant. Research shows that the quality of the sexual experience plays a bigger role. When both you and your partner are aroused, the chances of a successful pregnancy are higher fertilization bigger. This is because good blood flow and sufficient fluid help the sperm cells to reach the egg. It is therefore important that sex does not feel like an obligation, but as something that you both enjoy.

Does a female orgasm affect the chances of getting pregnant?

There have been several studies on the effect of a female orgasm on the chance of getting pregnant. A 2016 study showed that women who had an orgasm retained 15% more fluid than women who did not have an orgasm. This fluid contains sperm, which may cause the sperm to remain in the vagina longer. It is important to know that this study is not representative and that more research is needed to draw firm conclusions. It is certainly not the case that a woman must have an orgasm to get pregnant, but it can have a positive effect.

The role of muscle contractions

Another theory is that the muscle contractions of the vagina during and after an orgasm give the sperm a 'push' in the right direction. This would make it easier for the sperm to reach the cervix. After sex, it is therefore wise to lie down for a while, possibly with your legs up, to prevent the sperm from running out of the vagina immediately.

Don't have sex too often: quality over quantity

Although it can be tempting to have sex every day if you want to get pregnant, it is better not to overdo it. If a man has too many ejaculations, this can reduce the quality of his sperm. It is therefore better to have sex every other day around ovulation. Sperm cells can survive in the cervix for up to 4 days.

Myths Debunked: Facts and Fables About Orgasms and Getting Pregnant

There are many misconceptions about getting pregnant and orgasms. For example, it is a myth that the absence of a female orgasm has a negative effect on the chance of getting pregnant. Scientific studies show that the chance of pregnancy is higher if the woman has an orgasm after sex. The muscle contractions of the uterus can help the sperm cells to move in the right direction.

The importance of relaxation and fun

What is certain is that relaxation and fun are important when trying to get pregnant. Stress can have a negative effect on fertility. So try to enjoy sex and not make it a performance. Do things that make you both happy and focus on intimacy and connection with each other.

When is the right time to have sex?

To increase your chances of getting pregnant, it is important to have sex in the days around ovulation. Sperm cells can survive in the uterus for up to five days, so it is wise to start having sex before ovulation. There are several ways to determine your ovulation, for example with an ovulation test or by keeping track of your cycle.
