Tips on How to Get Pregnant
Some couple gets frustrated when they have difficulty conceiving a baby and getting pregnant. There are many factors can cause the delay of being pregnant. Too much work can delay pregnancy because of the stress brought about it. Infertility on either part of the couple would certainly inhibit them from having a baby of their own in a natural way. In cases like this, artificial insemination can be a solution. But for others who do not have any problems, timing is just off. Here are some tips on how to get pregnant faster.
Have sex regularly. Having sex regularly is the best and easiest way to get pregnant. Three times a week of sex is advisable. Most couples try to time their sex during ovulation but miss it. So having sex thrice a week should cover all the times of ovulation.
Having sex before ovulation and not after ovulation is best. People have the misconception that it is best to conceive after ovulation, the woman’s egg only survives for about 24 hours while the sperm can survive up to three days. So having sex before ovulation is best and do not wait anymore for the exact time of ovulation.
Do not rely on the calendar method. Assuming that a woman’s cycle is regular; couples usually time their sex on the fourteenth day of the cycle. However, this is not the case for many women. Not all women ovulate on the fourteenth day. Charting is also inaccurate. It is good to chart because it can give women an accurate time of ovulation. But by the time some women look at the chart, their ovulation has past.
Stop smoking, drinking and using drugs. Smoking, drinking and abusing drugs affect the fertility of women. These will also affect the health of the unborn child. Some studies show that these, especially drug abuse, will often lead to some degree of slow mental development and even retardation. Do not stop only when you find out that you are pregnant; stop these things if you are trying to get pregnant.
Try to have a good position when having sex. When having sex, try positions that would keep the sperm inside the vagina longer. Woman on top is not the best position if you are trying to get pregnant because sperm will tend to leak out because of gravity. The missionary position is best and putting a pillow under the pelvis would even be better if you are aiming for a baby. Also do not stand up at once, keep the sperm inside as long as possible.
