Introduction: Some women are generously blessed with the gift of pregnancy without even asking for it, while a part of the female population face the opposite. Try as they might, some women just have a hard time getting pregnant. This is why plenty turn to outside help, and here are some helpful tips that can help one become pregnant through natural ways.
Difficulty: 3
Things You'll Need: A partner, prenatal vitamins, supplements and minerals, healthy food
Step 1. The first step to get pregnant is to have a partner. Do you have one already? Well, if you don not have one yet, then go find yourself one first. You can't expect to make a baby by yourself, can you? If you're married, then the partner would most likely be your husband (who else?). But if you aren't, you can have your boyfriend as your partner or even your friend (if in case you just need a donor so that you can have a baby all by yoursef).
Step 2. Are you using any form of ? If you are, then now is the right time to stop using it as well. The body takes some time to re adjust itself from the use of contraceptives, thus it is extremely important that you stop as soon as you decide that you want to get pregnant. Depo - Povera users, for example, have to wait for months before they eventually get pregnant. Some users, however, become pregnant right away - so the case really depends.
Women who use Depo - Povera, which is a contraceptive that is injectable, usually take months before they get pregnant. Again, this doesn't apply to all situations, since some women do get pregnant right away. Stopping the use of barrier methods, however, like male and females condoms may have an immediate effect since the use of these contraceptives do not affect a woman's chemistry in the first place.
Step 3. If you're looking forward to getting pregnant as soon as possible, then you should prepare your body for it as soon as you can. This means that you should start getting rid of all the toxins in your body, and avoid stresses as well. These two are some of the culprits for fertility problems. Your partner should be in on the efforts as well. Incorporate these things into your daily life:
- Eat healthy. Foods rich in nutrients are the way to go. Organic foods are also better choices in comparison to ordinary produce because they are grown without the use of chemicals and pesticides that are linked to problems concerning fertility.
- Smoking should also be ceased. Nicotine from cigaretttes can have detrimental effects on the mucous of the cervix and can lower sperm count.
- If you're a coffee drinker, then there's an extremely huge chance that your habit is causing you fertility problems and increases your possibilites of having a miscarriage. Cut back on your caffeine intake and hold the soda or tea as well.
- Exercising is as crucial as all the other factors there. Proper exercise keeps the body fit and also prepares the body for pregnancy. Exercising regularly de-stresses the body and helps you have better sleep at night.
- Sleep More and Sleep Better. People who are deprived of sleep have lower levels of leptin, a hormone that affects ovulation.
Step 4. Take Vitamins and Supplements. Now is the best time to start taking prenatal vitamins (Folic Acid). Take at least 400 mcg of folic acid now, and increase to 600 mcg once pregnant. Doing so plays a huge role in lowering the risk of your baby developing neural tube defects.
Aside from vitamins and minerals, herbs are also making waves as well. Take herbs to balance your hormones. Here are some examples of herbs that are helpful for fertility:
- ginkgo biloba
- Chamomile
- licorice root
- saw palmetto
- Chamomile
Remember to consult your doctor first before taking in any of these supplements.
Step 5. Of course, you should also record the duration of your menstruation. Mark down when your menstruation started and then observe that every month. If you have a regular menstrual cycle, then there's a big possibility that like most women, your whole cycle lasts for about 28 days, making your ovulation period fall at around the-- day of the cycle. But of course, this can vary from woman to woman.
Step 6. Have unprotected sex regularly. Do this for a couple of days leading to your ovulation period. Sperm cells can survive for two to three days inside your reproductive tract. Thus, you should have sex with your partner around two to three days before your ovulation period, and the following days after that.
- While this may not be scientifically proven, plenty of people find the missionary position quite helpful. This is because the missionary position (especially the version where a pillow is placed under a woman's hips) places the cervix closer to the sperm. Try lying in bed after sex as well, becuase this gives the sperm more chance to reach the ovum.
- A lot of couples feel very pressured when they have sex, and this can take out the intimacy. Keep everything light and try not to stress yourselves up.
Step 7. If you miss a period, start a pregnancy test right away.
Step 8. If these things don't work during the first try, repeat the steps.
Tips:
- Consistency Diligence is key, so don't give up on your first try. Continuous effort is very important.
- Lighten the mood for sex. Remember to keep sex as a sensual thing, and not just as a chore. Lighten up and don't feel too pressured when you and your partner have sex
- Speak to your doctor when you plan to get pregnant, as well as when you plan to take supplementation.
Warnings:
- There are pregnancy myths all over, and some can even be dangerous instead of helpful. Inform yourself before following any unsolicited (or even solicited) advice.
- Have yourself as well as your partner tested for any disease or illness before starting on your endeavors. - 33375
