It is advised that you meet your gynecologist before trying to conceive. Some tests needed to be done to know the folic acid level which protects your child from defects. The most important aspect to figure out is the fertile period of woman. National institute of Environmental Health Sciences states that women remain most fertile for 6 days. These 6 days lie in between the cycles when ovulation takes place. Ovulation happens when egg is released from ovaries. Hence, the best time to make love is in between those 6 days. In fact, it will be more effective if intercourse is done 2 days prior to ovulation. If you do 5-6 days prior to ovulation, there are chances of conceiving as old sperms are also able to fertilize eggs, but it might not be so effective.
Gynecologists can tell you about the ways in which you can time sex so that it corresponds with the period of ovulation. The first way is to have sex every alternate day between days 18 and 10 of your menstruation cycle by counting the first day of cycle as 1. Usually ovulation happens at this time. There are other ways as well. Women can detect their ovulation period by identifying changes in the texture of the mucus released from vagina. The fluid is thick and sparse at the beginning of the period, while it becomes slippery and resembles raw egg white during ovulation. The amount also increases. Ovulation kits are also available which are quite effective in finding out the ovulation period. These kits give you alerts at least one day before the period. The body temperature also increases by.8 degrees when you ovulate.
A study by Environmental Health Sciences reveals that the chances of getting pregnant increase if you have sex frequently. That means couples should have sex every alternate day at least during their fertile periods so that they can become parents. While having sex everyday does not really increase the chance of pregnancy, so also having sex weekly weakens the chance of conceiving. Another important thing to note is that immediately after you stop taking oral contraceptives you cannot conceive. This happens because your body needs at least a month to restore its original functions. If you smoke regularly, even that reduces chances of pregnancy. Hence follow these steps on how to get pregnant to become parents. Do not hurry and do not panic if you are facing problems. Some patience, a little research and hopefully soon enough you'll be on your way in becoming pregnant.
