When you finally decide that you are ready to have a baby, you will probably want to conceive as quickly as possible. I know I did – and I got very impatient (and worried) when after several months I still was not pregnant. You may be one of the lucky few if you succeed after the first month or two, because on average it takes a couple of months of trying to finally get that positive result on the pregnancy test.
How to get pregnant fast: A few tips for getting pregnant quickly
There are many things a couple can do to improve their chances of getting pregnant quickly – these include the appropriate diet to conceive, knowledge of the ovulation cycle, and of course the assisted reproductive technology procedures (ART) for those who for some reason cannot succeed with natural methods.
However, if you have no physical problems preventing you from getting pregnant, then these simple tips may help you get started in your efforts to successful pregnancy.
… the most important thing you can do to speed up the process is to figure out exactly when you are ovulating and have intercouse during that “window of opportunity” time. Your egg can live for about 12-36 hours, sperm can usually live for 3-5 days. So the best day to try to conceive would be before ovulation or on the ovluation day itself.
Ovulation is easy to detect, once you know what signs to look for. Some signs of ovulation warn you that ovulation is approaching, allowing you to time sex for pregnancy. Other signs of ovulation let you know that ovulation has passed.
1. Changes in cervical mucous – When you’re not ovulating, your cervical mucus may be absent, or appear sticky or creamy in consistency. When ovulation is getting closer, cervical mucus becomes more abundant, and its consistency resembles raw egg white, and can stretch up to an inch or more. While tracking cervical mucus is one of the best and easiest ways to predict your most fertile time of the month, keep in mind that certain medications, such as Clomid, may have a side-effect of drying up your cervical mucus.
2. Changes in body basal temperature – Tracking body basal temperature is a most popular method of tracking ovulation among women trying to get pregnant. Your body basal temperature will rise by a few tenths of a degree, and stay elevated, after ovulation. This rise in temperature is caused by the hormone progesterone, which increases immediate after ovulation. By charting your body basal temperature, you can detect this increase in temperature. This method will not warn you that the ovulation is coming, it will only tell you that you have already ovulated.
3. Changes in cervical position – When you’re most fertile, your cervix will be higher, softer, and more open. Detecting cervical position takes a little practice, but this method may help you when your cervical mucous is dried out by Clomid or other medications.
4. Breast tenderness – Some women experience tenderness in their breasts just before or after ovulation. This is related to the hormones rushing in your body, getting ready for the potential of pregnancy.
5. Tracking your cycle. If your periods are regular, then counting days of your cycle can be an easy and reliable way to track ovulation. The first day of a woman’s period is 14 days after ovulation. The number of days between ovulation and the start of the next period is fairly consistent among all women. So, for example, if you have a 30 day cycle, you will ovulate on day 16 (30-14=16). Day 1 is the first day of her next period.However, the number of days between the start of the period and the next ovulation can vary quite a bit between women, or even from month to month for the same woman. So if your cycles vary in length or you frequently miss periods, you will not get very accurate information with this method.
Of course, you can just take an easy way, and just have an intercourse every other day of the month. Why not just have it every day? We don’t want to wear your partner down, do we? But seriously, this is to ensure higher sperm count and sperm which can live longer.
Another easy solution is to purchase an ovulation pretictor kit. You can find those in the most pharmacies and big grocery stores in the feminine aile. You’ll have to follow directions on the package to detect your most fertile days. Then it is up to you to have intercourse on these days to conceive.
