It's no surprise that the time to get pregnant is when you are ovulating. Whether you are tracking and charting when you ovulate or taking ovulation prediction tests, the one thing you must focus on is intercourse. Sperm can fertilize the egg during ovulation, leading to possible implantation and pregnancy.
Stop smoking, drinking, and illegal drugs. These activities can prevent pregnancy and affect your fertility. You'll have to stop once you get pregnant anyway, so why not stop now?
Consult your health care provider before trying to get pregnant. Your doctor can check you for infections or other medical conditions that might prevent you from getting pregnant. He may also offer additional advice for conceiving.
Start taking prenatal vitamins. They're not just for women who are already pregnant. They can help reduce birth defects during conception and will get you in the habit of taking them for when you become pregnant.
Have sex frequently. The more often you have sex, the more likely you are to conceive. Three times a week can be an acceptable number for both you and your partner, while ensuring you don't miss out on the time during which you are ovulating.
Have intercourse prior to ovulation. When you ovulate, the egg can survive for up to 24 hours. Sperm can survive for approximately three to five days, so having sex prior to ovulation gives the sperm a chance to fertilize the egg immediately.
Keep sex fun. If it starts to feel like a chore, stop. Try out new positions or places. Keep it spicy and full of excitement.
Keep in mind that sexual positions can affect the chances of getting pregnant. Positions that keep the sperm inside the vagina longer are better. For the same reason, don't get up right away after having sex.
