Christmas holidays are a good time to conceive

If you are thinking of enlarging the family, maybe Christmas holidays are a good time to conceive.

Stress is one of the enemies of fertility and strongly influences when looking for a pregnancy, so cutting a few days with the frantic routine of the rest of the year and reducing the level of daily stress, can contribute to improving natural fertility in men and women. On the other hand, there are studies that indicate that during the winter period semen quality increases.

Stress, fatigue and anxiety affect both men and women. In women, they can alter female cycles and make pregnancy difficult, while in men, they can alter sperm concentration, mobility and morphology.

On the other hand, scrotal hyperthermia (increase in temperature in the scrotum) affects male fertility, so the hottest times of the year would not be the most favorable for conceiving. Instead, winter is related to an increase in pregnancy.

According to scientific studies, in winter and early spring the speed of movement of sperm is faster and there are fewer abnormalities in sperm. But as spring progresses, quality decreases.

If we ignore the family stress that these dates usually cause, everything seems to indicate that Christmas holidays are a good time to conceive. The most suitable circumstances can be given both for the quality of the semen and for the reduction of stress levels.
