Every woman at some point in her life thinks about when and how best to get pregnant. Having a child is a very serious and responsible decision that will require a change in lifestyle, professional and social status for several months. Some families plan to conceive during a certain season or zodiac sign of the future heir, while others face infertility problems and need the help of doctors.
There have always been many ways to help you get pregnant for sure. Some of them were truly substantiated, while others were more mythical. In this article we will look at the most common and proven methods that will help you get pregnant at the right time in the right place.
Method 1. Single sexual intercourse
The first intercourse is the most decisive, with the highest concentration of sperm. Subsequently, the concentration decreases by approximately half. Therefore, many families abstain from having sex for about a week before the most important sexual intercourse.
Method 2. Motile sperm in a man
The male reproductive cell plays a decisive role in conception. Therefore, a man should be prepared, at least for the last two weeks. Be sure to include meat, fish, and nuts in his diet - all this increases sperm motility. You should avoid alcohol and heavy physical activity (including too intense fitness) - this has a bad effect on the quality and quantity of sperm. Take your man for a walk - fresh air, nature, a romantic atmosphere - all this helps to improve sperm motility and the man’s mood, which is also important.
Method 3. Selecting days
A woman can become pregnant only during a few (2 - 3) days of the cycle - during ovulation. Moreover, not every cycle is ovulating. Normally, a woman under 28 years old has 9 - 10 ovulations per year, from 28 to 33 years old about 7 - 8 ovulations per year, and after 35 even less.
Each menstrual cycle, one of the follicles in the ovary begins to grow. Under the influence of female sex hormones, a mature egg is formed. Somewhere in the middle of the cycle, this egg is released from the follicle and is ready to meet the sperm.
The egg lives after it leaves the follicle for about 24 hours. Sperm entering the female body can remain viable for up to 5 days. Therefore, to increase your chances of conceiving, you need to know the approximate time of ovulation and have sex a day or two before it and on the day of ovulation.
Method 4. Proper nutrition
Proper nutrition is one of the key factors affecting health and the ability to get pregnant. A woman should receive enough protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. It is necessary to consume enough fruits and vegetables, as well as green leaves and nuts. Excessive consumption of fatty and fried foods, alcohol and smoking should be avoided. In addition, a woman should monitor her weight, as being underweight or overweight can affect her ability to become pregnant.
Method 5. Reduce stress
Stress can reduce your chance of getting pregnant. Therefore, a woman should try to reduce the level of stress in her life. This can be achieved through yoga, meditation, relaxation techniques, calm music and walks in the fresh air.
Method 6. Consultation with a doctor
If a woman has been trying to get pregnant for a year but cannot, she should consult a doctor. The doctor will conduct an examination and identify possible causes of infertility. In some cases, drug therapy or procedures such as IVF (in vitro fertilization) may be used.
In conclusion, it is possible to get pregnant if you follow healthy lifestyle guidelines, eat right, reduce stress, choose the right time to conceive and consult a doctor if necessary.
