Tips To Get Pregnant Faster
Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant right away. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help a woman to cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.You are ready to get pregnant. Now. Of course, you want to attack this task with the same fervor as you did your career and everything else that has ever been on your to-do list. Now that you are ready to start a family, waiting is not an option.
"The overarching message is don't get into the 'it has to happen right now' thing," stresses Paula Hillard, MD, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford University School of Medicine in Palo Alto, Calif. "This is the first time that many women are up against the concept that they can't control everything."When it comes to getting pregnant fast, not all positions are created equal. Having your man on top is best for conception for the simple reason that sperm is helped by gravity to find its way to the cervix. Immediately after sex, you may consider propping up your hips with the support of a small pillow to help the sperm rest in the cervix for a short period of time.In this day and age, it should really go without saying that you should avoid smoking or drinking alcohol while trying to conceive. But many people often overlook a few other no-nos that can also negatively impact your chances of getting pregnant fast. Women with sensitivity to caffeine will find that eliminating it from their diet can often add an immediate boost to their fertility. As for your man, consider skipping the hot tub since heat can harm the production of sperm.For most couples, having a baby is a sensationally exciting experience that they look forward to with great anticipation. However, the excitement and enthusiasm soon turns into worry and anxiety when a couple begins to experience problems in trying to conceive.
If you are one among those couples, you need not panic right away. Most ovulation kits measure the level of luteinizing hormone (LH) -- one of the hormones that signals the ovaries to release an egg -- present in your urine. LH begins to surge around 36 hours before you ovulate, but most kits don't detect it until 24 hours prior. A woman with a 28-day cycle should start testing her urine on day nine or ten after the start of her period so she doesn't miss her surge.
A new palm-size, electronic device called ClearPlan Easy measures LH and estrogen levels, and can signal ovulation up to five days in advance.
Monitoring cervical mucus is another way to track ovulation. "It's not as reliable as a kit," says Sandra Carson, M.D., professor of ob-gyn at Baylor College of Medicine, in Houston, "but it doesn't cost anything." This method involves checking your secretions for a few months until you notice a pattern. Estrogen causes mucus to thin after your period, while rising levels of progesterone right after ovulation make it thicken. Once you pinpoint when you ovulate, you can plan to have sex several times leading up to that day.
The drawbacks: Many women find this method inconvenient, or inaccurate since such factors as nursing and antihistamines, even fertility drugs, can dry up mucus.
