Top Tips For Conceiving

Finally, you have decided to have a baby! The next question that hits your mind is how soon can I get pregnant? Most people think that the best way to get pregnant is just to have a lot of sex and it wouldn’t take that long. However, the truth is there are only a limited number of days in a month that a woman is fertile and can conceive. The most critical factor in conception is timing. Apart from that, all you need to do is relax and enjoy the sex and intimacy with your partner. Want to know more? Read through the following to explore the top tips for conceiving and getting pregnant at the earliest.

 

 

The best way to conceive is to have sex on a regular basis. Women do not always ovulate when they think they will, so having sex three times a week will help cover up all the bases and you will not miss an opportunity to get pregnant. However, make sure to enjoy the togetherness and not worry about conception all the time.

 

Often, couples are confused about the best time to have sex, in relation to ovulation. There is a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates, the egg will survive approximately 24 hours, while the sperm can live up to 3 to 5 days. To increase your chances of getting pregnant, have sex 2 to 3 days before ovulation.

 

Most of you must have heard that it is good to have sex around 14^th day of your cycle. You rely on the calendar and assume that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. This is not an accurate way to predict ovulation and women do not necessarily ovulate on day fourteen. Know precisely when you ovulate, as this will help you plan intercourse better.

 

Have a regular check-up from your medical provider and make sure that you are in good health. Untreated infection, sexually transmitted diseases or poor health can affect your chances of conceiving. Start taking prenatal vitamins even before you try to conceive.

 

Smoking, drinking and drugs largely affect your fertility and later, your unborn child as well. So, stop smoking, taking drugs or consuming alcohol even before you start making efforts to get pregnant.

 

Sex usually becomes a job or function of reproduction, when couples are trying to conceive. Plan a romantic evening or do something to spice up things. Studies reveal that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of conceiving. The spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus in women and in men, a better orgasm will increase the sperm count.

 

When trying to get pregnant, the missionary position is the best one. You should try to avoid positions where the woman is on top. You can also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt pelvis and keep your sperm in longer. Do not get up right after sex, try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina for as long as possible.

 

Consume aloe vera gel drink as it contains folic acid. Reduce your caffeine intake. The man should take zinc supplements to increase the strength and number of sperm. He should also drink milk to increase Vitamin D intake. Avoid wearing tight underwear and tight jeans. Try boxer shorts, as they help the testicles to stay away from the body and remain cooler.
