Most couples are not so lucky enough to achieve conception easily. If you are one of the couples who are experiencing difficulties on getting pregnant, do not directly jump to conclusion that you might be infertile. Why don't you put some planning behind your baby making and try again?
Listed below are the 5 effective tips that you may follow in order to conceive more quickly:
1. Stop using birth control pills - If you have been using birth control pills for a while, now is the time to quit if you want to get pregnant fast. Birth control pills control conception by stopping the ovulation. Some women who stop using birth control pills will ovulate right away after 1 or 2 weeks, however there are also some that do not ovulate in several months. When this happens, do not immediately jump to conclusion as this is only the side effect of using birth control pills.
2. Track your ovulation - According to survey, the highest chance for you to get pregnant fast is to have sex with your partner on your most fertile days or during your ovulation day. Ovulation only happens once a month; however you may know when it is coming by tracking your ovulation cycle. A natural way to monitor the ovulation cycle is to use the calendar method. In this method you begin counting your first day of your period as day 1 of your cycle. After tracking your cycle for a few months, you need to add up the number of days in each cycle. The average cycle lasts 28 days but it is normal to have 21 -35 cycles. Next, you have to subtract 14 days from your shortest and longest cycle. The answer would be your ovulation date. You can also use ovulation predictor kits, such as the basal body thermometer (BBT), which works easier than the calendar method. OPK simply detects a surge in luteinizing hormone 36 to 48 hours before you ovulate by measuring your temperature or through a urine test.
3. Try the best sex positions to get pregnant - Although there has been no medical evidence that shows sex positions have a causal effect to getting pregnant fast, there have been strong beliefs that certain positions can hasten pregnancy. Positions, such as man-on-top, hence as your partner ejaculates, the sperm can easily reach the fertilized egg.
4. Feed yourself with fertility boosters - Women who are in good health achieve conception more easily. Hence, eat the foods which are known and proven to prepare your body for pregnancy, such fresh fruits and vegetables that are rich in Vitamin A, B, C, and D, folic acid, anti-oxidants, amino acids, and proteins. Examples of these include whole grains, plant proteins, full-fat dairy products, and the right fats (i.e. monounsaturated, polysaturated, and omega-3 fatty acid).
5. Follow the don'ts in getting pregnant - Avoid the things that will hinder faster conception, such as your vices (i. e. drugs, alcohol, and smoke. Also avoid using lubes to give sperm a leg up. Wearing tight underwear (for men) is also a big NO-NO as it will keep testicles warm, thus affecting sperm production and motility.
