While some women are blessed with high hormone levels and get pregnant almost as soon as they start trying, this isn't true for most women. Many women struggle to get pregnant for months or even years. If you are trying to get pregnant quickly, there are some steps you can take to raise your chances of conception. After you've had a check up with your doctor and are up-to-date on your vaccinations, the following are the five most important things you can do to get pregnant faster.
Before you get pregnant, you need to start taking prenatal vitamins. These vitamins provide your body with all the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and strong during pregnancy, which can be extremely tough on your body. Also making sure you are taking enough Folic Acid is very important. Most doctors will recommend you take at least 400 mG each day. Taking the right amount of Folic Acid will greatly reduce your baby's chances of most major birth defects. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle before, during and after your pregnancy is another important step. You are going to need all the energy you can muster to care for your baby both before and after it is born. Also, figuring out your most fertile dates will help if you're trying to get pregnant quickly. About 10 to 15 days after your period begins, you will drop eggs into your uterus. Once the eggs are in the uterus, they will be the most fertile for about 12 hours before they begin to degenerate.
Finally, having regular, unprotected sex is probably the most important step you can take if you are trying to get pregnant quickly. By combining the prenatal vitamins, folic acid and healthy lifestyle with unprotected sex during your most fertile time will increase your chances of conception.
