There are couples who seem to have a hard time conceiving. If you’re one of them, well, you’re at the right place to know how to increase your chances of getting pregnant. You can also get weekly pregnancy tips.

Tips

• Eat healthy – there’s still time to correct your unhealthy lifestyle. Forget McDonald’s and take a look at all the wonderful food that nature has provided us. Include greens, pulses, whole grains, and fresh fruits in your diet. You need to make sure that your body has adequate proteins, carbs, vitamins, minerals, and iron to make a healthy baby. Oh yes! A pizza or a large sundae once a while wouldn’t kill you!
• Stop smoking – tobacco thickens the mucus in your cervix, making it hard for sperms to enter inside you. We know it’s tough to stop abruptly. But, you can start cutting down on the number of cigarettes per day so that by the time you’re pregnant, you can easily kick the habit. Besides, smoking during pregnancy can affect the weekly pregnancy development.
• Check your medicine cabinet – are certain medicines hindering your ability to conceive? Check with your doctor regarding the medication that you might be taking.
• Consult your doctor to make sure there’s nothing wrong with you and your partner.

Have sex often. Need we tell you this? But, you must do it at least twice or thrice a week regularly. This increases your chances to hit the fertile period of your cycle. Remember, you’re at your fertile peak for about 6 days, beginning from the day of ovulation (when the egg is released) during your entire menstrual cycle. You must also know that sperms survive for only 3 days after they are released from your partner’s body. Consult your doctor for a weekly pregnancy guide. .

And please do not rush to the bathroom to clean yourself up after sex. You might wash away the sperms trying to enter your body. Douching is a no-no too. It disturbs the pH level of your system, creating unfavorable conditions for the sperm to survive.

For Men…

Guys, you need to take care of your health too. Take a healthy diet and exercise regularly to have a good sperm count. Relieve yourself of all stress. A tensed man can hardly produce babies. Wear loose clothing and remain in cooler temperatures to encourage production of sperms. Avoid placing laptop on your lap. Continuous heat around that area may affect your fertility.

Ladies, wanna get pregnant fast? Then, stop thinking about pregnancy! Relax and enjoy your romantic getaways. Plan them according to your ovulation time. And let things happen. Your pregnancy diary will soon be filled with memorable events and you can also see pregnancy pictures week by week once you conceive!
