So today my focus was on the guy's end of baby making. Today's research was to see what my husband can do to help increase our chances of conception so we can be ready for the time we have planned. I realize that the chances of us actually getting pregnant the first time we try is a slim chance, but if there is anything we can do to strengthen that chance, I want to do it. To sum up what I've learned today; both my husband and I need to be in good health, eat right, and keep our stress levels low in order to have the best chances. But let's face it; eating right and keeping stress levels low during the holidays...[insert Mission Impossible theme song here]...
A few funny things I learned though: apparently, if a guy wants his swimmers to be Olympic gold medalists, he has to keep his dangly bits nice and cool. This includes having cool showers, and in some cases, using an ice pack to cool things down. Yikes! I don't even know what it's like to have that anatomy and it even makes ME cringe! Putting his boys on ice?!....they've got to be kidding right?
Also, apparently having even just one cup of coffee can knock our chances down by 50%! I'd hate to see what an extra large energy drink would do! His swimmers would be so buzzed with caffeine, they'd be too busy headbutting each other then swimming towards the prize.
But aside from eating healthy, staying relaxed, and staying cool while swinging fancy free...it seems the guys have it pretty easy even from the beginning. The hardest for the guys (and honestly it'll be hard for myself) is trying to limit sex to every other day rather than every day. When the guy gets a day off in between the fun part of baby-making, he gets a chance to rally more troops and therefore increasing the chances of conception.
So there you have it; a few tips on how a guy can help beat the odds. Pickle Popsicle anyone?
