Have sex three times a week.

Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.

2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

8. Have enjoyable sex.

Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

To get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released.

After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex. Tell your husband to ejaculate on his inward thrust so that the sperms will shoot deep inside.

After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up with a pillow under your buttocks so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.

Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 3 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

So you are preparing yourself to have a baby. Trying to conceive can sometimes be as simple as no task at all. But at times it can be very trying.

Fertility problems though mostly related to women, men cannot be totally exempted from it. After all it is a partnership act. So here are some tips on how the partners can conceive. A handful tips are certainly useful.


*Your Nutrition*

You are not the same lady before you got pregnant as pregnancy changes your entire metabolism. You should therefore ask your gynecologist on the amount of weight gain that should be attained. If you can exercise and what type of exercises? If you have to follow any particular nutritional diet?

Your doctor may advise you to take in prenatal vitamins and change your eating habits. This is to ensure not only the health of your baby but yours too.

If you are on drugs, indulge in smoking and drinking. You have to stop it immediately. These vices can harm your baby and you. You have to learn how to sought out your lifestyle issues to give your pregnancy duration your best.


*The change in diet*

Well, it can be quite demanding. But a change in diet is welcome 4 months before your conception. You should try to come off caffeine products like coffee, chocolates even soda. Give up smokes, even second hand smoking and hard liquor.

Diet should compulsorily include low fat and high fiber. Folic acid up to 400 mcg per day should be consumed. Your source for folic acid and vitamin B are the prenatal vitamins, dark leafy vegetables, oranges, grapefruits, other citrus fruits, nuts, wheat breads, beans, cereals etc. You should consider making them a part your daily diet.


*Why stop coffee?*

Well, studies have shown that coffee affects the ovulation process directly. And also the chances of conceiving. Hence a woman is recommended to keep her caffeine intake to a couple of cups only per day. Also be careful of hidden caffeine in aerated drinks and tablets. Read the contents carefully on purchased articles before consuming.


*Why are prenatal vitamins important?*

Your prenatal vitamins include great amounts of specific vitamins that are not provided by other vitamin tablets. If you tell your gynac that you are planning to conceive, they will get you on it immediately. The prenatal tablets consist of Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Thiamin, B6, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin E, Zinc, Copper, Panthothenic acid, Potassium, Vitamin A. These are very vital to save your baby from any birth disorders.


*Any particular food items?*

Well research does not provide any particular diet that helps to conceive. But oysters have been an all time good advice due to its high zinc content. But you should not limit yourself to one diet. Try to eat a variety. That will kill boredom. Breads, cereals include everything. An overall diet can aid healthiness and your doctor can tell you if there are any shortcomings.


*Birth control pills*

If you were on them, then it would take you some time to get back to normalcy. Your doctor would advice you to wait for your first period after stopping the pills and then try to conceive.

Your weight plays an important role in getting pregnant. If you are just right for your height and body then it is easier getting pregnant. Else being overweight or underweight can cause a delay.


*Your ovulation cycle*

You have to know your ovulation cycle if you want to conceive. If you miss the most fertile days then that can delay the entire process. Ovulation kits help know the onset of ovulation as they detect the hormones in the urine.


*A positive mind*

Depression and stress affects the fertility of a woman. Avoid them with stress management techniques like yoga and other relaxing exercises. Get yourself in the positive frame of mind to avoid any fertility problems.


*For the man*

He should give up all types of briefs and choose to wear boxers. It helps increase sperm count. Sex in the morning is the best as it contains the highest number of semen.


*A few positions for sex*

The missionary position i.e. the man over the woman is said to be the best as it helps navigate the sperms directly to the uterus. Also a pillow under the woman’s hip will help directing the semen. Standing, leaning, straddling should be avoided.


*Cervical mucus*

Before ovulation there can be little or no mucus. But during ovulation the mucus is highly fertile. Check with your fingertips. If the mucus stretches in your fingers for a few centimeters then it indicates high fertility. This is the best time to conceive.

So as you are on your way to maternal bliss use the above-mentioned if you are trying to have a baby, we wish you all the best :)
