Young people nowadays plan to have children, and they need to go through a pregnancy preparation stage first. However, pregnancy preparation not only requires women to pay attention in their daily lives, but also requires men to pay attention.

So, can men take medicine during the pregnancy preparation period?

Can men take pills when trying to conceive?

From the perspective of eugenics, men taking medications will have a certain impact on conception, but it depends on what medications they take. Under normal circumstances, the quality of a man's sperm determines whether the fetus is healthy. In addition to medications that can harm sperm, bad living habits can also harm sperm.

1. Smoking and drinking

Many people know that smoking and drinking can damage sperm quality, but habits are "easy to form but hard to break." Long-term smoking and drinking will not only reduce sperm quality, but also damage the spermatogenesis function of the testicles.

2. High temperature environment

Sperm is very sensitive to testicular temperature. To produce sufficient quantity and quality of sperm, the testicular temperature needs to be 1-2°C lower than normal body temperature. Some men's daily habits, such as wearing tight underwear, frequent hot springs or saunas, will affect sperm motility.

3. Unhealthy fatty acids

Saturated fatty acids (commonly found in animal fats) and trans fatty acids (commonly found in processed foods) are unhealthy fatty acids that not only cause serious damage to the cardiovascular system, but also have a certain inhibitory effect on the secretion of male hormones by the testicles.

Common foods such as fried foods, grilled skewers, desserts, cream, milk tea, etc. contain more unhealthy fatty acids. Men who like these foods should be careful.

4. Overweight and obesity

Overweight and obese men generally have lower sperm quality and are at increased risk of high blood pressure and diabetes, both of which can harm fragile sperm.

When is the best time to get pregnant?

Women have the highest chance of getting pregnant during their ovulation period. 5-7 pm is the best time of the day for conception, when the quantity and quality of sperm are at their peak. If women have sex during this time, their chances of getting pregnant will be greatly increased.

1. It is easiest to conceive during the ovulation period. Normal women of childbearing age have menstruation once a month. The period from the beginning of this menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation is called a menstrual cycle. Women usually ovulate about 14 days before the next menstruation. For the sake of safety, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period. After the sperm enters the female reproductive tract, the life span is 1 to 3 days. The best time to conceive is 24 to 48 hours after ovulation.

2. Men aged 30-35 give birth to the best offspring. When is it easiest for women to get pregnant? The quality of male sperm reaches its peak at the age of 30, and then can maintain high quality for 5 years. Physiologists generally agree that the best age for women to give birth is between 23 and 28 years old.

3. The best time to have sex is between 5pm and 7pm. Studies have found that both the quantity and quality of sperm vary greatly throughout the day, reaching a peak in the late afternoon - which is also when women are most likely to conceive.
