If you're trying to get pregnant, but haven't been able to do so yet, perhaps you should try a couple of different techniques to improve your chances.
One of the biggest factors in getting pregnant is the time of the month that you try to conceive. Knowing and understanding your menstrual cycle and, most importantly, at what point in the cycle you are most fertile, is essential.
Despite what some friends might have told you, it isn't possible to become pregnant at any time. You must be inseminated at least 2-3 days before ovulating in order to get pregnant.
So, how do you know when you will ovulate? Amongst the various methods available to help you find this out, the best are either a special pregnancy kit (available from most pharmacies) or consultation with a fertility specialist.
Your natural degree of fertility also has a large bearing on how quickly you can conceive. Some women are not fertile at all and can fail to conceive after even years of trying to get pregnant, whereas others are almost certain to become pregnant every time that they have unprotected sex prior to ovulation.
Their are certain types of drugs available for women who do not have a high level of fertility. A couple of the most popular ones, gonadotropins and clomiphene, are prescribed to over a hundred thousand women each year for this purpose.
Prior to using fertility drugs though, you should be aware that they significantly increase the likelihood of you giving birth to more than one child from a single pregnancy. It is thought that around 10% of women taking such drugs will give birth to either twins or triplets.
This is great for women who would like to have a multiple birth, but there are drawbacks. The most notable problem is that the odds of premature birth and miscarriage increase if you are carrying more than one baby.
In-vitro fertilization can be an option if the above options still don't see you succeed whilst trying to get pregnant. This may be a little expensive, but it is an extremely effective method when all else fails.
