How to get Pregnant Faster – Top Ten Tips

1. 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.

Answer 2

Many women are surprised when they do not become pregnant the first month they are trying. There's no reason to be concerned, though. That's because it usually takes several months to become pregnant.

For couples having unprotected intercourse:

50% will be pregnant in 4 months
75% will be pregnant in 8 months
90% will be pregnant in 1 year

Plan on the process taking several months, relax, and enjoy.

If you and your partner have been trying for more than a year without success, it is a sign that there may be a problem. You should make an appointment with a gynecologist or an infertility specialist for a complete exam and testing. Many problems are easily treated once they are identified.

Answer 3

I have four boys and had no problem conceiving right away.The first one I wasn't on birth control and got pregnant right away. The second one, I went off birth control and within less than a month I was pregnant. The third one, I was on birth control and still got pregnant (I didn't miss any pills either). The fourth one, I was on birth control, but I know or at least I think I missed a couple pills (I was so stressed at that point in my life). to make a long story short, I'm like my mother and we classify ourselves as "Fertile Myrtle".

Answer 4

Hey, I'm 22, my husband is 21. it took us 4-5 months to get pregnant. I have never been on birth control before so maybe that's why.
My sister was also 21 when she got pregnant and had never been on birth control ( rather the withdrawl method). she became pregnant the first time a male ever came in her.

Answer 5

I was on birth control for 6 years and it took 3 months to get pregnant (tracked my cycle).

I got on birth control again for 2 years and it took longer, 7 months to get pregnant. I didn't have a cycle for 4 months and finally was able to start tracking for 3 months before we got it right.

We are both in our late 20's.

Answer 6

It took me 2 weeks after 6 months of birth control. Everyone is different.

Answer 7

Sometimes it can take up to a year after birth control. Don't worry it will happen in time. For us, my husband looks at me wrong and I am pregnant.

Answer 8

I'm 37 now. Was 35 when I conceived. I got pregnant the first month after my first period off the pill. Take a look at your diet. Get him in some boxers.

Answer 9
