Useful Techniques For Trying To Get Pregnant
When trying to get pregnant, you may need to utilize some techniques to help improve your chances as, unfortunately, it isn’t as easy as it is often made out to be.
The time of the month that you try to conceive is one of the biggest factors that determines how successful you will be. Knowing and understanding your menstrual cycle and, most importantly, at what point in the cycle you are most fertile, is essential.
Contrary to popular belief, you can’t get pregnant during any part of your cycle. To become pregnant, you must have sex at least two or three days before ovulation starts.
So, how do you know when you will ovulate? Amongst the various methods available to help you find this out, the best are either a special pregnancy kit (available from most pharmacies) or consultation with a fertility specialist.
The level of fertility each woman has is also a big factor. Some women are not fertile at all and can fail to conceive after even years of trying to get pregnant, whereas others are almost certain to become pregnant every time that they have unprotected sex prior to ovulation.
Help is available though, in the form of fertility drugs, for women who are not blessed with a high level of fertility. A couple of the most popular ones, gonadotropins and clomiphene, are prescribed to over a hundred thousand women each year for this purpose.
Something to be aware of when taking these kind of drugs however, is that it increases your chances of having a multiple birth. Approximately ten percent of women taking either drug will have twins, and a slightly lower percentage have triplets.
This is great for women who would like to have a multiple birth, but there are drawbacks. When you are carrying more than one baby, the odds of a premature birth or miscarriage is higher than when carrying a single baby.
If you’ve been trying to get pregnant using the above methods and you still can’t get pregnant, there is always in-vitro fertilization. This may be a little expensive, but it is an extremely effective method when all else fails.
