My husband is in the army and he deploys to iraq soon, We have been back and forth with intercourse cause we both been busy with work. We recently started this every other day lets have sex kinda plan. And I tried the elevate your pelvis with a pillow for 15-30 minutes after sex. I just wanna know if there is a faster way to get pregnant. Can I still get pregnant even if we barely have sex?! Or do we have to have sex every day!? And stress might be the case too...Since he is deploying and all. I dont feel stressed. Anyone have answers?

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.

My husband was in the Navy. In March of 1998 we were only able to spend one week together before he went out to see for six months. With a blood test I knew just be for he left I was pregnant with our first child.
Now I don't want to sound mean but since he is going to a war zone, and if this were myself and my husband, I would have some of his sperm frozen. My husband was aboard the USS Cole when she was attacked in Aden, Yemen 10/12/2000, thankfully at that time we had two children already, but you just don't know. I never believed his ship could be attacked when we weren't a war.

Infertility can be caused by a huge number of factors: hormone imbalance, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Endometriosis, Anovulatory Cycles, physical blockage, inadequate hormone production, short luteal phase, lack of lutenizing hormone, high levels or prolactin, and many others.

Poor nutrition often plays a major role, as does exposure to toxins. Age plays less of a role before menopause than was originally thought. While there are many wonderful naturally minded fertility specialists out there, in many cases it is not possible for them to test for and address any of these possible underlying issues.

I think what your doing is ideal, just have sex as often as possible and keep your legs up afterward for a few min or as long as you can.
My husband and i got pregnant within a month or two so it's possible. Don't stress just go with the flow and if it happens than it happens:)

You should have sex during the times you are ovulating. Either that or it is really easy to get pregnant when he is home on mid tour (it was easy for half of the people I know!) I myself had to wait until my husband came home form Iraq. I liked it better that way anyways so he could be here with me the whole time.....the bad part is we just had our baby and he will be deploying again in a couple months :(

Chart your ovulation on babyzone.com or the First Response website. I suggest both b/c the days are slightly different. Baby Zone is a great place for advice, too.

I have 2 and 1 one the way and the #2 and #3 were much easier to plan b/c I learned to chart instead of guessing.

You need to know how long your cylce lasts and the first day of your last period. The site then estimates your fertile period.

Good luck!

Stress is a major factor. Having sex every other day is your best bet. It takes most couples 8 months to a year to get pregnant so trying just before he leaves, you most likely won't get pregnant that fast, sorry :(

I feel for you, it's tough to wait for a pregnancy to happen, but remember it's not always a woman's physical malfunction if pregnancy doesn't happen soon enough. This might sound a bit funny, but make sure his pants or underwear is not too tight and that he's not too stress out himself, it's 50/50 between man and woman.

what i think you should do is relax a bit more, So much tension in your body wanting to get pregnant and knowing he will be away may not help at all. Tension, stress and anxiety have lots to do with pregnancy. You should go see you Doctor he might suggest different things you guys can try in order to conceive...or maybe its just not good timig right now.....Hope I helped!!!!

1. Start by taking your bbt every day so that you can know when your ovulating. Chart it.
2. If that doesn't work then talk to your ob/gyn about starting you on meds that will push you along.
3. Do the obvious and just relax and have fun.

Good luck & baby dust to you. xo
