Roles and Responsibilities
Using Birth Control
Back-It-Up
During her first cycle of natural birth control, use protection (like a condom) until she has ovulated, to give her a chance to fully understand her cycle. Then, table sex or use a back-up method of birth control during fertile days.
Get Involved
Don’t be afraid to get involved. Ova Ova’s fertility charts are super easy to understand. Green means potentially fertile, blue means infertile, and if you forget, the fertility status is even clearly displayed in the top right hand corner of her chart. Feel free to log into your partner’s account and check out her fertility status so you can both be on the same page as to whether you should have protected or unprotected sex.
Acheiving Pregnancy
Quite the Production
Avoid medications and substances that can interfere with sperm production, including excessive alcohol or drug use. Talk to your doctor about any specific medications you are taking.
Keep It Cool
Overheated testicles can also affect fertility. Hot tubs, very hot showers, heating pads, even tight underwear can all lead to poor sperm quality.
Seek Help
If your partner tracked over six cycles and you timed sex correctly, but still haven’t achieved a pregnancy, it may be time to see the doctor. Keep in mind that half of all fertility problems are related to the man.
