Some women have been preparing to become pregnant for a year, but there is still no movement in their belly; while some little sisters are pregnant silently. Expectant mothers who are unable to conceive should not be too busy complaining. You should reflect on it first. Have you mastered your ovulation period? Do you know the best time of day to conceive?
In the process of human reproduction, the timing of conception is crucial to successful pregnancy. When many couples are planning for pregnancy, they often consider having sex at night, because then both parties are not under work pressure and have enough time and energy to devote to this intimate act. In addition, there is also a view that morning is the time when male sperm is most active, so having sex in the morning can help conception. 
From a physiological point of view, there are indeed circadian rhythm changes in various functions and hormone secretion of the human body. In the morning, especially between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m., testosterone levels in men reach their peak, which may lead to increased sexual drive and sperm activity in men. At the same time, before and after ovulation, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in a woman\’s body change due to follicle rupture and ovulation, which will also affect a woman\’s sexual desire and physical condition.
However, it is not enough to determine the optimal time for conception based solely on hormone levels. While men may have relatively high sperm counts in the morning, sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for days, not just hours. In addition, a woman\’s ovulation period is usually about 14 days before the next menstrual period. Fertilization is possible on the ovulation day and the 5 days before and 1 day after it. This means that even if you have sex after 5 pm on the day of ovulation, as long as the woman is ovulating, the chance of pregnancy still exists.
In fact, a study conducted by Italian scientists showed that around 5 pm is the time when the rate of natural conception is highest. This finding is related to the body\’s biological clock and sex hormone secretion patterns. In the late afternoon, a woman\’s body temperature rises slightly and the cervical mucus becomes thinner, which facilitates sperm passing through the cervix and into the uterine cavity, increasing the chance of meeting the egg.
To sum up, although both morning and evening are feasible times for conception, according to current scientific research, around 5 pm may be the best time for natural conception. Of course, this is not an absolute rule, as each couple\’s physical condition and lifestyle habits are different, which may affect their optimal time to conceive. Most importantly, couples should maintain good physical health, reduce stress, and seek professional medical advice when appropriate. At the same time, by monitoring women’s basal body temperature, ovulation test strips and other methods can more accurately determine the ovulation period, so as to choose the most suitable time for conception.
