Getting Pregnant – 10 Expert Tips

Are you interested in getting pregnant naturally?  We’ve collected this list of 10 expert tips to help you.

Stop taking the pill as soon as you decide you want to conceive.

It may seem obvious, but it can take several weeks for the effects of the pill to wear off.getting pregnant

Stop eating and drinking foods that inhibit fertility.

Regular intake of such things that contain caffeine like coffee, chocolate, cocoa, green tea (containing caffeine), black tea and colored soft drinks can have harmful effects on fertility.

Stop smoking.

Studies have shown that smoking decreases fertility – according to the British Medical Association, female smokers are 40% less likely to conceive than women who do not smoke.

Improve your diet.

Healthy, adequate nourishment is extremely necessary for women to conceive.  Maintaining the desirable health conditions, minerals, proteins (that are easy to digest) and vitamin levels are very helpful.

Know your fertile period.

The period of ovulation in a woman is the ideal time for her to conceive a baby. Thus, she should be aware of the time of ovulation. There are, fortunately, many ways to find out what the time of ovulating would be. The ‘Post Ovulation Time’ (also termed the Luteal Phase) has to be estimated. This period, i.e., the time between ovulating and the date of commencement of the menstrual cycle, generally is fixed at 14 days in most women. The period starts after the length of the Luteal Phase, or 14 days after the occurrence of ovulation.

Ask your partner to follow this guideline.

Sperm should have quick reaction time when a woman ovulates. Hence, fresh sperm is required to be present in the body of the female immediately before ovulating.  Men should not be releasing sperms, for a minimum of 3 days before the scheduled day of sexual union.

Use foreplay to liven your sex life up.

A normal problem for couples trying to conceive is a lack of excitement in their sex lives. With the stresses of work combined with the pressure of a ticking biological clock, and busy daily routines, sex, for most couples, simply is not as juicy as it used to be back when you were still dating. So, instead of going straight to intercourse, spend time in foreplay. Foreplay has been shown to increase your fertility in a couple of ways. The most obvious way is that it will help you feel more relaxed.

Use sex positions that help conception.

When trying to fall pregnant, it makes the most sense to use an orientation that makes the trip as small as possible for the sperm. The traditional sex position with the male on top is one of the best because sperm need only to travel a short distance to the uterus. Another positive position for conception is the rear entry position, with the woman either on her hands and knees or on her stomach.

Try special herbs to promote fertility.

Some of the popular herbs thought  to improve fertility are Dong Quai, Evening Primrose Oil, Red Raspberry leaf, Vitex, Black Cohosh and Flase Unicorn.  Please do not use them without proper guidance from a health care professional.

Try Acupuncture.

Some research has revealed that women who have received acupuncture treatment for about 30 times within a time period of 3 months have shown good better results than women  who underwent hormonal therapy.
