Finding The Answers To Problems Getting Pregnant

By Emmanuel Palmer


Most females always dream of having a family-it is in their genetic make-up. Little girls play with their dollies, caring for it as if it were their own child. Imagine how heartbreaking it is for these women if they are unable to bear children. Infertility is a serious issue many couples are trying to overcome and there are some things you can do to increase your chances at having a baby.

1. It seems inconsequential but really, some people have problems getting pregnant because they are not enjoying their lovemaking. What has this got to do with fertility? Well, the more fun you have doing it, the more you will want to do it correct? The more times you get to do it, the higher the chances for Mr. Sperm to meet the egg of his dreams. After intercourse, be sure to stay lying down for at least five minutes. This is said to bump up the odds of the sperm getting to the egg.

2. Caffeine has been said to be a cause of some fertility difficulties so cut back on soda and coffee as much as possible. It is because caffeine constricts the blood vessels, lessening blood to flow to the uterus. Also, avoid cigarettes and alcohol if you think there might be a chance that you have conceived. The most critical period of development of the embryo occurs during the earliest phases-even before the woman thinks she is pregnant.

3. Your lifestyle is an integral factor in determining your chances of conception. Do not go on diets or any drastic change in your daily activities. Extreme exercise and diets alter your body's ovulation and fertility, making it difficult to effectively plan the best way to deal with infertility. With regard to your partner, steer him away from the bicycle if it is his cardio of choice. Too much bicycling can damage important nerves and arteries essential in baby making.

4. Your quest to have a healthy baby will be greatly helped if the mother herself is strong and healthy. Needless to say, medication and drugs should be avoided at all costs. If you have a condition that requires you to use prescription medicine, consult your doctor about it. Look around for a good prenatal supplement you can take. A minimum of 400 micrograms of folic acid is recommended daily for optimum pregnancy health.

5. One of the biggest problems getting pregnant is due to sexually transmitted diseases. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease which causes irreversible damage and scarring in the uterus and fallopian tubes. This not only impairs the ability to conceive, it will trigger recurring pelvic pain to the woman as well.

6. Fertility period is at its highest during the early to mid twenties. If you want to have a family, it is best to start as early as you are possibly ready. A forty year old woman only has about 5% chance of getting pregnant. Even men's sperm count and quality declines as he reaches a certain age. Make the most out of your years by planning ahead and starting early.
