Every woman have her personal reason to concieve early. Whether to space your children a certain number of years apart or you are trying to check your biological clock. Maybe your husband is in the military and and you'd like to conceive before deployment. Or, you may simply be eager to become a parent. However, it's important to understand that all this does not work for everyone. Pregnancy can never be accurately planned. If you are not able to get pregnant according to your plans, don;t be disheartened. In every 10 couples, one couple experiences infertility. Here are a few tips to get pregnant fast -

1. Discontinue Your Birth Control- Obviously, if you want to get pregnant, you need to stop using birth control. What you may not know is that you may need time for your fertility to return, depending on the kind of birth control you have been using. However, with most forms of birth control, your fertility will return the next cycle after you stop using it. There may be some irregularity during months while your cycle regulates itself, but it’s also possible to get pregnant your first official fertile month. However, it’s not always a simple and quick process. If you have an implant or an IUD, you’ll need to schedule a doctor appointment for removal. That takes time. It may also take a few months for your cycles to regulate after hormonal IUD removal. (With the copper only IUDs, your fertility should return quickly.) If you’ve been on the birth control shot, it may take several months for your fertility to return. Talk to your doctor so you have realistic expectations when you can start trying to get pregnant.

2. Have Lots of Sex- Having sex often for the entire month is good for baby making. Every other day or every two days is a good amount, according to research and the opinion of the Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. You could aim to have sex every day of your cycle, but for most people, this will lead to burnout, and it's really not necessary. Having sex at least three to four times a week boosts your chances for success because it increases the chance of having sex on your most fertile days. If you're only aiming for ovulation and you make a mistake, you may lose that month. If you have sex every other day or every two days, you're likely to have sex at least once, if not twice, during your most fertile time. Frequent sex improves sperm health, too. Healthier swimmers mean you'll be more likely to conceive.

3. Optimize Your Baby-Making Sex- You may be able to get pregnant faster if you optimize your conception sex. One important thing to be aware of is that regular personal lubricants, like Astroglide and KY Jelly, are harmful to sperm. The best lubricant for conception is your own cervical fluid. But if this is an issue for you, there are sperm-friendly options available, such as mineral oil, canola oil, or hydroxyethylcellulose-based lubricants such as Pre-Seed and ConceivEase. Research has found that sexual arousal plays a role in how much sperm is ejaculated. Female orgasm may also help with conception. Having passionate sex may help you get pregnant faster as well. That said, don’t stress about having an orgasm. It’s not required!

4. Use an Ovulation Predictor Kit or Ovulation Monitor- Your most fertile days are the two days prior to ovulation. You can figure out which days these are through several methods, including charting your body basal temperature, checking for fertile cervical mucus, tracking cervical changes, and using a saliva ferning microscope. The problem with all these methods is they have a steep learning curve. For BBT charting, figuring out how to get your temps right in the morning and interpreting your chart is an issue. You may have an easier time using ovulation predictor kits or ovulation monitors. Ovulation tests work like pregnancy tests. You pee on a stick or strip of paper to get a result. They are a little more difficult to interpret than pregnancy tests, so read the instructions carefully. Ovulation monitors indicates a lot of learning curve out of ovulation tests. This digital device tells when you're most fertile. Because they are very expensive, so you may want to combine charting with ovulation predictor kits.
