Perhaps, giving life to a child is the most important event in life of every couple. They wait for it, plan it scrupulously, quit smoking and drinking long before conceiving a child to make it healthy, and it’s really very disappointing when, by trying so hard and wishing so passionately, pregnancy doesn’t appear. Not always there is a medical problem; very often a couple that is completely fertile can wait for it quite a long time.
But there are some tips that can hardly help to conceive but reduce the factors which detain this long-expected event. They are based on advices of various gynecologists and if you follow them, there are big chances that you will become parents much faster than it may seem now.
- Still the first thing to do when a couple decides that they are ready to have a baby – visiting doctor. Ask him about some prenatal vitamins and consume it before you begin to try. If you have any problems with health, they are also to be solved before beginning your attempts to conceive.
- Every woman must know her days of ovulation. There are various means to determine it – online calculation, temperature method, even special equipment. Countdown goes from the first day of your period. On the ninth day begin to check and don’t stop until it’s positive.
- Try to stay in horizontal position after sex during 10-15 minutes. There is a well-known statement that there are more chances to get pregnant if you put your legs up after sex, but it’s a myth. Position of your legs doesn’t have any influence on this process but lying horizontally creates better conditions for the sperm to reach the cervix.
- Don’t try too hard. Remember that the sperm quality becomes lower when he ejaculates too often. The best way is to have sex every day in ovulation time. Sperm can be active for 72 hours.
- Men must take care of their fertility too. There are certain conditions that lower sperm qualities – carrying cell phone near genitals, tight underwear, sauna or hot bath very often. Avoid it if you are going to become a father.
- Try to avoid stresses. They can harm the fertility of both in the couple.
- Lead a healthy way of life. Quit smoking, but be careful with trainings – hard and intensive physical exercises for women can influence the ovulation not in a good way.
There is one more popular stereotype about sex positions to get pregnant. Well, you can try, but remember that it can be only a helpful measure, not the decision of the problem. If pregnancy didn’t happen during the first year after the beginning of attempts, it will be better to go to doctor to clear the situation.
