In other Religions ‘The Wages of Sin is Death’
But in Indian philosophy, ‘The wages of Sin is Birth’ for without Birth there is no Death and one has to experience the results of the actions performed by him and this is made possible by one being born.
Hence of the Forty Samskaras, Garbha Dhaanam-The Rite to Beget Good Children is the first Samskara.
This is normally performed on the day of the marriage before consummating it.
This is possibly a few of the Homas that are performed after Sunset.
While describing the procedure for Garbha Dhaana , the Satras make some interesting observations on Fertility Days,Time to have inter course,
All these observations are being proved by Science now.
Some Observations.
1.Women conceive in the first 16 Days from the day of last Menstruation Date.
2.If the inter course is on Even days from the Date of last Menstruation.the Child will be Male.If on Odd Days, it shall be Female.
3.Of these Sixteen Days on the following Days, no intercourse is recommended.
-First Four Days

-Eighth,Eleventh,Twelfth, Fourteenth Day from the Day of new Moon /Full Moon.(Ashtami,Ejadasi,Dwadasi,Chaturdasi)
Birth Day based on The Star in which one is born is to be avoided.(Janma Nakshatram of Husband)
Also The Sankramana Days are not recommended.
As per hindu mythology, The sun orbits twelve zodiac sign in a period of 1year. So when our sun orbits from one zodiac to other zodiac it is known as Sankramanam.
