To most couples, having children is a great joy. Unluckily though, infertility, or the inability to conceive a child or sustain a pregnancy to childbirth, affects as many as 14% of couples who desire children. This brings us to this question: How to increase chances of getting pregnant?
The very obvious answer is to, of course, ditch the Pill or any other contraceptives like the patch and ring. It would also be best to quit all your vices such as drinking, smoking, and taking drugs, as these vices may greatly diminish your chances of getting pregnant. Moreover, they can lead to miscarriages, premature birth, low-birth babies, and unhealthy babies. Another very important thing to consider when planning to get pregnant is your body weight. According to studies, women whose body mass index (BMI) is below 20 or above 30 have a harder time getting pregnant.
Now, increasing your chances of getting pregnant may also be achieved by finding the right timing and the right sexual position. The best time to get pregnant is during ovulation. One common method of finding out when you are ovulating is counting days. To do this, figure out when your next period is due. From this date, count back 12 to 16 days. This will give you a range of days when you will probably be ovulating. You can also observe your cervical mucus to look for signs of ovulation. During ovulation, the mucus becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy it can even be compared to raw egg whites.
As for sexual position, many experts suspect that the missionary position provides the best opportunity for getting pregnant because it allows for the deepest penetration which deposits sperm closer to the cervix.
These are just a few of the simplest ways to increase your chances of getting pregnant.
