Fertility is one of the great mysteries of life. Why do some couples get pregnant easily while others struggle with this seemingly natural process? Studies have shown that one in six couples will have trouble getting pregnant at some point in their lives. What then can be done to raise your chances of conceiving a child? Is there any advice out there on how to get pregnant fast? While this article cannot promise anything, there are simple things that one can do to increase their chances of conceiving even for couples over 40 and without the use of IVF.
Modern medicine has become very advanced in assisting couples to conceive, and indeed there are many couples who in the past would have remained childless but today are parents thanks to these treatments. These treatments, though, carry with them a hefty price, physically, emotionally and financially. So while in many cases a fertility specialist is the only answer, it is worth trying more natural means of getting pregnant first.
One thing that has been noted is that a healthy lifestyle increases the chances of pregnancy. Eat healthy food, refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol and decrease your intake of caffeine. Maintaining a healthy weight is also important. Women who are underweight or grossly overweight have a harder time conceiving than their normal – weight peers. High levels of stress have also been shown to impede conception, so it is important to be relaxed. Stress reducing techniques such as yoga can be very helpful in your quest.
Charting body temperature can also help determine when a woman is at her most fertile. The middle of the menstrual cycle is when ovulation generally occurs; this is the peak of the woman’s fertility. When the egg is released from the ovary, the woman’s body temperature tends to rise a bit. A woman who records when her menstrual cycles begin and how long they are, and also pays attention to fluctuations in her body temperature, can approximate when her most fertile time occurs. Another way to determine fertility is with a simple, over the counter ovulation tester, available at your local pharmacy.
Whether you are looking for a first pregnancy over 40 or you are looking for a pregnancy without IVF, I wish you all the best of luck in getting pregnant fast.
