How To Improve Your Chances of Getting Pregnant

If you are a newly-couple, you are probably looking for information on how to increase your chances of getting pregnant. The best way is having sex regularly. To improve your chances of getting pregnant, consider the following:

Calendar Method
The calendar method looks at the 28-day cycle and mid cycle as the proper time for ovulation. Although this has the possibility compared to just selecting any day, it is by no means precise. Sometimes the females do not ovulate on the 14th day. Use the more accurate methods in predicting the proper time as the prediction kits, charts or watching clues for fertilization



Eat healthily
A healthy diet will help ensure your body is healthy enough to become pregnant, it also can help to keep sperm production at optimum levels. Good eat and diet can make you less likely to become pregnant. The government also recommends that all women trying for a baby should take 400mcg of folic acid a day to help prevent conditions such as spina bifida in your child.

Exercise regularly
Regular, moderate exercise of around 30 minutes a day helps to maximise your fitness and keep your weight in check. It also boosts levels of endorphins, the body’s own ‘happy hormones’, which may help to reduce stress. Some people find relaxation techniques or complementary therapies also help them relax.

Drink wisely and Quit smoking
Alcohol may affect fertility and sperm quality, so do limit your drinking to the Government’s ‘Sensible drinking’ guideline of a maximum of two - three units a day for women and three - four units a day for men. Smoking has been linked to infertility and early menopause in women, and to sperm problems in men. It is also a factor in premature or low birth-weight babies.

Medication and drugs
Some prescription medication can lessen your changes of conceiving, so if you are taking regular medication and trying for a baby, talk to your doctor about alternatives that might be more appropriate.
