Do you know that a proper understanding of the year’s months and fertility could help couples?
This is particular to regions that experience mild cold at certain periods of the year. Extremes could will have adverse effect.
In Nigeria for instance, the onset of rain – May and June – is a period that comes with cold.
What did we find about these months?
Are there months of the year that the chances of conception are high among couples?
Is there a chance that couples trying to conceive could hit target within a period of the year?
Well, there are few things about the months and fertility that we know. We want you to share from it.
Having a good knowledge of them could be a plus to every effort to bear children.
The month of May and June are two that we have identified to have relationship with fertility.
Are the things we are about to explain myths or mere coincidences?
Just continue reading and you will wonder why you do not know these all along.
Month Of May And Fertility
The month of May is the 5th month of the year and a period that rainfall sets in properly.
Rain in this month comes with cold breeze that often leaves us cold. The desire to get warm comes in this period of the year and coddling is higher.
We believe there is a reason for this.
The Hormones And Fertility
Most times, women feel cold more than men when it rains.
The hormones in women and men are entirely different. However, the sex hormones of both respond to cold weather.
This is one reason months and fertility could have a relationship and it is a significant topic.
For a woman, estrogen and progesterone are the sex hormones largely responsible for conception.
On the other hand, testosterone plays that role in a man. When there is cold, testosterone rises a bit in men (1).
Basically, there is an appreciable amount of these hormones level necessary in both sexes for conception to happen.
During ovulation, there is a rise in progesterone level and it hits its highest level when the egg is released.
This condition sort of remains the same when there is cold (2).
However, when a woman feels cold as a result of rainfall, there could be a corresponding rise in the level of estrogen hormone (3).
According to studies, a rise in estrogen makes a woman feel cold (4).
This surge in estrogen level during cold weather could result in a balance between progesterone and estrogen which is necessary for a healthy pregnancy to happen.
Couples could target ovulation window in the month of May for conception.
One more thing worthy of note is that women are less susceptible to flu that comes with cold because of the estrogen hormone (5).
For us, this is a shield, protecting a woman from falling ill in the rainy season where she is presumably most fertile. If she gets pregnant, flu could be an issue, but estrogen provides her a shield.
What Is In The Name May?
The month of May is named after the Greek goddess Maia. According to records, Maia is also associated with fertility and growth, particularly in Roman mythology.
It is not clear whether this is just mere coincidence or there is more to it. But the name triggers great thoughts about months and fertility.
The Month Of June And Fertility
Furthermore, the month of June follows the month of May. Also, it is a month of rain and cold.
First, let us consider the name June.
June is named after the Roman goddess Juno. This is the god of marriage and childbirth, and the wife of Jupiter, king of the gods.
Again, we find that there is something about months and fertility when we consider the name June.
Like the month of May, it is also a period of rain and cold that triggers sexual intercourse between couples.
Growth Time
Another thing about months and fertility is that these months are months of yields when it comes to vegetables farming.
As the rain sets in, the leaves become greener and more vegetables come for man to consume.
Vegetables hold appreciable amounts of nutrients for humans.

Their availability at this period speaks of the benefits they give to us all in rainy season.
The more of it people consume at this time, the higher the load of nutrients necessary for conception to happen (6).
Adequate consumption of vegetables, fish and whole grains in the rainy season boosts fertility for couples who are trying to conceive.
Vehemently, all of these require that a couple understand the ovulation window with little incline on the time the egg is released.
With the right knowledge and a healthy lifestyle, a couple’s chances of making a baby increase.
For everything there is a time and season.
As much as couples could make babies at every period of the year, we see some little chance of increase in result in months when cold is mild and favourable.
