Natural way of conceiving-:

A Visit to your Gynae

A visit to an GYN/OB is recommended as a first step after you and your spouse decide to have a baby. The doctor will check you for any health problems, prescribe prenatal vitamins( like folic acid, Vitamin B,C and E), and check for obstacles such as infections or sexually transmitted diseases. The doctor can also recommend a method for tracking ovulation which will help to improve the chances of anything successful conception.

Monitoring Ovulation

1. Predicting ovulation is the key to improving fertility. This is because having sex near ovulation improves your chances of getting pregnant with each menstrual cycle. One way  to determine  ovulating time is to use a basal body temperature (BBT) thermometer.  But it is not always successful. If ovulation is irregular it is difficult to anticipate likely days for successfully getting pregnant. The BBT does not predict ovulation-it registers a temperature spike 24 to 48 hours later-aiding prediction of ovulation in the next cycle.

2. Another way is to look for changes in your cervical fluid - When cervical mucus is produced in greater quantities and when it is stretchy in texture, it means you are ovulating and therefore are most fertile. But if cervical mucus is dry and being produced in lesser amounts, you are less fertile. Some women also experience a mild pain in the abdominal area that is indicative of ovulation.

Having frequent sex to get pregnant

1. One of the most common techniques used for getting pregnant is to time sex around ovulation so that it can help improve your odds of getting pregnant,
2. It is found that having frequent sex also increases the chances of getting pregnant as you don’t miss out on ovulation date in case your periods are irregular.
3. Another factor is to use Best Position method  - This is because certain sexual positions can help the male sperm to be deposited as near to the female cervix as possible, which increases a woman’s chances of conceiving. Positions like (rear penetration Missionary position, Lying side by side, elevating your hip and buttocks) are recommended. Lying in bed for about 20 minutes with a pillow propped under your hips can help boost your odds of getting pregnant.

Eating a Well Balanced Diet

Try Relaxation methods 

Reduce stress by practicing relaxation techniques such as acupuncture, visualization or meditation, or listen to calming music  can boost your chances of getting pregnant.

Manage negative emotions

By actively pursuing good health, proper nutrition and removing potential harm from your life before conceiving you can increase your chances of a health pregnancy and a healthy baby
