If you have been trying to get pregnant for twelve months or more it is time to consult your doctor and commence investigating the reasons why.
But, you do not have to wait that long to start making changes to help yourself.
How long have you been trying to get pregnant? Have months gone by and the only results have been negative ones? It may be nearing the point where you are going to visit your doctor and find out if there are any fertility problems for you or your partner.
Perhaps you think that your only option may be IVF - if you are going to have a baby at all.
Well, before you book the visit to the doctor it may surprise you to find out that there are steps you can take yourself to increase the chances of conception.
It may be as easy as working out exactly when you are ovulating either by using a proprietary ovulation kit or by plotting an ovulation calendar.
The window of opportunity for conception to take place each month is very small and you need to optimize that time wisely! Top Three Tips to help you get pregnant: 1.
Give up smoking - again this applies to both of you (if possible).
Smoking not only affects the fertility of men and women, but if you do manage to conceive and continue to smoke the fetus can be underweight.
2.
Eat healthily - this is a major stepping stone to becoming pregnant- the healthier you eat the more likely your body will have the correct nutrients to aid the fertilization of your egg.
Eat lots of fruit and vegetables - organic if you can afford it.
3.
Try and maintain a healthy weight - being overweight or underweight can cause difficulties in conceiving a child.
This is just three of many steps you can take to improve your chances of getting pregnant, so if you are having trouble get pro active, take action to help yourself in your bid to create a child.
