Getting pregnant can be one of the most amazing experiences of a woman and her partner. While some pregnancies come by surprise, some may take a lot of time and effort. If you are having difficulty conceiving, have a look at these tips for getting pregnant faster:
Stop your birth control in advance.
Some kinds of birth control are likely to reduce your fertility for a while even after you stop. However, it is still possible to conceive right after getting off your birth control pills, although it might take some time for the ovulation to become normal. And yes, it is completely safe. Your baby will be as healthy as ever.
Check when you ovulate.
The window of opportunity for baby making can be pretty narrow since an egg is only able to survive for 24 hours at most after ovulation. Therefore, right timing is the key factor in getting pregnant. Your ovulation day may not always be punctual. Sometimes, it can be a few days early or late. So, in order not to miss it, the couple should have sex at least 3 times per week.
Quit smoking.
In addition to all the other scary risks, smoking has a negative impact on fertility. Moreover, children of smoking parents have a higher risk of infertility as well. Smoking is associated with lower sperm count and motility. It also increases abnormalities in sperm shape and function. If you want to get pregnant faster, it is absolutely helpful to give up those cigarettes.
Limit your caffeine consumption.
Many of us depend on caffeine to kick start our day. If you want to get pregnant, it is fine to have a cup or two, but do not cross that limit since high levels of caffeine consumption is linked to decreased fertility by a lot of studies. In addition, more than 200-300 mg/day during pregnancy is likely to increase the risk of miscarriage. You can enjoy your dose of caffeine every day and still have a healthy baby, Just make sure you do not pass 5 cups of per day or 500 mg of caffeine. For your information, a 16-ounce cup of Starbucks brewed coffee may contain up to 330 mg of caffeine.
It is safe to say a couple will probably conceive within a year of unprotected sex. However, as everyone is different, you and your partner might need more time. Be patient with yourself, but if it is taking you too long, you should go to a medical expert for help.
