How Do I Get Pregnant

If you’re trying to get pregnant, but haven’t been able to do so yet, perhaps you should try a couple of different techniques to improve your chances.

The time of the month that you try to conceive is one of the biggest factors that determines how successful you will be. A woman’s ovulation cycle varies from individual to individual, and knowing your cycle, and at what point in the cycle you are the most fertile, can be a big help when you are trying to get pregnant.

Despite what some friends might have told you, it isn’t possible to become pregnant at any time. To become pregnant, you must have sex at least two or three days before ovulation starts.

So, how do you know when you will ovulate? Amongst the various methods available to help you find this out, the best are either a special pregnancy kit (available from most pharmacies) or consultation with a fertility specialist.

Your natural degree of fertility also has a large bearing on how quickly you can conceive. Some women may not be fertile at all, while others may be so fertile it is pretty much a sure thing if they have unprotected sex at the right point in their cycle.

Their are certain types of drugs available for women who do not have a high level of fertility. A couple of the most popular ones, gonadotropins and clomiphene, are prescribed to over a hundred thousand women each year for this purpose.

Prior to using fertility drugs though, you should be aware that they significantly increase the likelihood of you giving birth to more than one child from a single pregnancy. It is thought that around 10% of women taking such drugs will give birth to either twins or triplets.

This may seem like a bonus rather than a concern, but multiple births are more complicated than single ones. The most notable problem is that the odds of premature birth and miscarriage increase if you are carrying more than one baby.

In-vitro fertilization can be an option if the above options still don’t see you succeed whilst trying to get pregnant. This may be a little expensive, but it is an extremely effective method when all else fails.
