Best Practices For Getting Pregnant Fast

Bring on the Romance

When you’ve done your pre-conception homework, and it is finally time to actually try to get pregnant, be sure to leave the ovulation talk at the bedroom door. Focusing too much on the mechanics of having a baby and neglecting the emotional side of intercourse can raise stress levels and hinder your chances at conceiving.

* Set the Scene – don’t neglect the little details like candles or music, but don’t get too obsessive either

* Relax into Lovemaking – rather than focusing on the timing and positioning of the whole thing, focus on your partner and enjoy this time you have together; afterwards, snuggle for 10 to 15 minutes before getting up to let the sperm do their work

* Welcome Your Child – express to your partner why you want a baby and what you want to offer the child who is born to you; envision your family life together

* Don’t Schedule Sex – have regular intercourse with your partner rather than “forcing it” on a certain date; aim for regular sex every other day, not just when you’re ovulating

Don’t Forget Daddy

One of the biggest mistakes that couples who want to get pregnant fast make is assuming that fertility is totally up to the woman. It takes two to tango, and men should take some responsibility before conception to ensure the best outcome.

* Be Healthy – follow the same diet and exercise advice as for women; take a men’s supplement and eliminate toxins; get plenty of rest

* Keep Sperm Count Up – wear loose-fitting clothing and keep your groin area cool; avoid hot tubs and don’t keep your phone in your pants pocket

* Have Sex in the A.M. – men’s sperm counts are highest early in the day, so intercourse may be more effective first thing in the morning

Even though you may want to become pregnant as quickly as possible, it is normal for conception to take several months. However, conceiving a baby is not an event that you can schedule in-between Pilates and the next episode of Downton Abbey. It is something that is largely out of your control in the first place, so surrendering to the process is necessary.

If you have been trying for more than six months, consult with your doctor, but give yourself a break and just allow this to happen for you, as it does for most couples. In fact, many women report getting pregnant when they just relax and don’t stress out about it too much. Of course, practice makes perfect, so grab your sweetheart and get busy!
