Sperm only have a limited life span. Unfortunately, this can make it difficult for a woman to become pregnant if the sperm is swimming slowly. The issue with slow swimming sperm is that it may not have the time that it needs to reach the egg. However, there are ways that a woman can improve her chances of becoming pregnant.

The first thing that is important is that a woman tracks her ovulation cycle. There are a couple of ways that this is possible. Both ovulation predictor kitsand a basal thermometer are extremely helpful when a woman is trying to determine when she is most fertile.

When a woman is fertile, it is also important that she and her partner have intercourse in a way that will allow for deep penetration. This is helpful because it allows for the sperm to be closer to the egg when it is released. This will mean that it will have a shorter distance to swim before it reaches the egg.

Having intercourse every other day during the time of ovulation is the best way to increase a woman’s chances of conceiving. Since sperm can live in the body for several days, this is the best way to improve the chances that the egg will become fertilized.
