What causes pregnancy?

Scientifically, it is the union of sperm and egg, but in reality, it is the start of 18 years of sleepless nights and empty pockets! Joking aside, it is a natural biological process, but make sure you are physically and mentally ready before embarking on this long journey.

It basically happens when a sperm meets an egg during ovulation after unprotected sex. If you are trying to avoid it, always use protection like condoms or birth control pills because even pre-cum can sometimes cause pregnancy.

Well, biologically it is the sperm-meets-egg story, but practically it is caused by romantic dates and forgetting to buy protection! Don't panic, if you are unsure, just get a simple home pregnancy test kit from any pharmacy to clear your mind.

Pregnancy is the result of fertilization of an ovum by a sperm, typically occurring within a few days of ovulation. If you are planning a pregnancy or having trouble conceiving, it is best to consult a gynecologist who can guide you on tracking your ovulation cycle properly.

I can only speak from my own journey, but tracking my monthly cycle and knowing my exact ovulation dates was what worked for us. It helps to understand your own body's signals, though everyone's reproductive health and timing can be slightly different.

Me and my wife were tracking her ovulation days using a simple calendar app when we wanted to conceive. It is all about timing the intercourse around the ovulation window when the egg is released. If you don't want a pregnancy, don't take any chances and use protection.
