Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant right
away. Well, duh, right? No really. Some couples try to time everything
perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not
ovulating. However, women do not always ovulate when they think they will,
making love three times a week, or every other day, will cover all bases and
keep you from missing an opportunity to get pregnant.
Men should also try to ejaculate at least once every two to
three days throughout the month to keep up their sperm supply.
Tip # 2: To get pregnant faster use an ovulation prediction
kit or fertility monitor.
Using an ovulation kit or fertility monitor will improve
your chances of getting pregnant. Ovulation varies dramatically from woman to
woman, occurring as early as day 6 and as late as day 21 of a cycle. Ovulation
prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation and leave out the
guess work that other charting methods create.
Tip # 3: To get pregnant faster make love before ovulation
(not after).
After a woman ovulates the egg will live about 24 hours.
But, Sperm live for up to three to five days. Making love two to three days
before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant.
Tip # 4: Before you start trying to get pregnant see your
doctor.
Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor
health can affect your chances of getting pregnant, so it's good to see a
doctor and start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.
Some researchers believe that having an orgasm 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. Some experts say that if a woman is highly aroused while she's
having sex, the sperm has a better chance of fertilizing her egg. Others say it
makes absolutely no difference. Some researchers have found that a suction
effect is created when the female partner achieves orgasm, something that
causes the cervix to draw sperm into the vagina more efficiently. It definitely
won't hurt and may even help in boosting your libido and killing that awkward
feeling of having sex for pregnancy.
Tip # 6: Make love in positions that keep sperm inside the
vagina longer.
The missionary position is a good position to use when trying
to get pregnant, but not the only position that is good, try to avoid positions
where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these
positions.
Tip #7: Lose weight
Aside from the other risks it poses to your health, excess
body fat can lead to an overproduction of certain hormones that disrupt
ovulation. Your cycles may be less regular, you may ovulate less often, and you
lower your chances of getting pregnant. Studies show that women whose body mass
index (BMI) is below 20 or above 30 have a harder time getting pregnant
Stress and depression may hamper your fertility. Experts
suspect that stress may throw off your body's hormone production, making your
menstrual cycle less reliable.
Tip #9: Increase the Odds
If you find that your cervical mucus is not as conducive of
getting pregnant as it should be, you may want to try a specific type of
lubricant. Pre-Seed lubricant is the sperm friendly choice of many people
trying to get pregnant. Some believe that any other lubricant can actually act
as a mild spermicide.
Tip # 10: Remember that conception is a numbers game.
You can do everything "right," but still not
manage to conceive the first time around. Twenty to 22 percent will get
pregnant within the first month of trying. But, studies have shown that it
takes normal, fertile couples an average of six months to conceive, and most
doctors consider anything up to one year to be well within the range of normal.




This is helpful in some ways and detrimental in other ways. Even if you do everything "right" that doesn't mean you'll conceive. Having sex 3 times a week isn't always possible and should never be forced. When you're actively trying to have a baby and you're on your 5th, 9th, 14th, 17th month...sex turns more into a to-do list instead of fun and passionate. If it becomes more of a to-do or a chore, it's time to reevaluate!

ReplyDeleteI know of your struggle and I fear the same for me in the future, but I wrote this based on my just starting this thing viewpoint. I am not trying to discourage anyone. I agree that if it becomes tedious then it should be reevaluated, thus my last paragraph.
