While some people do almost everything to try to prevent pregnancy, others find the process of trying to get pregnant frustrating and difficult. There are many factors that affect conception and fertility and this is the reason for the varying difficulties that women face when trying to have a baby. A woman being fertile for a limited time only serves to complicate the situation. The following are the three things that any woman who is trying to conceive must never forget.
Stop Using ContraceptivesContraceptives are primarily designed to prevent pregnancy. Using them does nothing to enhance your chances of having a baby. You must stop using birth control immediately after deciding that you want to get pregnant.
This does not however mean that you will get pregnant immediately after the discontinued use of birth control. In most cases, when hormonal birth control mechanisms are used, a woman may take several months before getting pregnant. Therefore, the sooner you stop using; the better will be your chances to have a baby. However, if you were using condoms to prevent pregnancy, you should be able to get pregnant almost immediately after discontinuing. Women with implanted contraceptives must see a medical profession to have them removed properly.
Your Physical Health And Chances Of ConceptionYour physical health plays a vital role in your ability to get pregnant. Having a healthy weight, being free of any chronic illnesses, dealing with any pre-existing infections will go a long way in boosting your chances of getting pregnant. Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and bacterial or viral infections are known to have a significant impact on both the pregnancy and the ability of a woman to conceive. Resolving these health issues is advisable if your want to get pregnant faster.
There are also some health conditions which may be made worse by pregnancy. Paying a visit to a medical profession is advisable as this will enable you to make an informed decision so far as becoming pregnant is concerned. There may also be a need for close monitoring after getting pregnant to make sure that the baby is not adversely affected by your condition.
Eating a healthy and balanced diet is also necessary both when trying to conceive and after getting pregnant. You should always remember to include fruits and vegetables in your diet. Taking enough proteins when pregnant is also advisable as this is important for fetal development.
Have Unprotected Sex When Trying To Get PregnantSexual intercourse is a necessity, with the exception of assisted fertility methods, if you are trying to conceive. This is because it is the most effective way to make sperms available to fertilize your eggs. You should remember to have unprotected sex since use of contraceptives usually prevents fertilization. Having sexual intercourse around the time of ovulation will
increase your chances of getting pregnant and thus something you should try. Regular sex is always advised when trying to get pregnant.
