For women who are eager and anxious to get pregnant, tips to conceive faster are never too many! Here on TF we’ve already discussed several ways to make pregnancy easier, but a few more tips have come up and of course, I’ll share with you how to get pregnant faster. The very first tip is to check how many days your cycle lasts, whether you have regular or irregular cycles, and what your menstruation is like.
From there, we can get an average of when and how to make it easier to conceive and, consequently, become pregnant more quickly. The biggest issue is that many women still don’t know how to calculate their fertile window. In most cases, the difficulty comes from very long cycles. Some women even have extremely long cycles!
I’ve heard of cycles reaching up to 90 days due to issues like PCOS or even because of disproportionately high hormone levels. These can prevent pregnancy from happening. That’s why the second and most important tip of all for women searching for ways to get pregnant more quickly is: Check your hormones. They can sabotage or favor conception. Measuring the levels of estrogen, progesterone, LH, FSH, and also prolactin can be decisive in reducing your waiting time for pregnancy.
Hormones all good? Now it’s time to learn when you’re ovulating. Besides ovulation calculators, we also have some tools like, for example, the Billings Method. Knowing which type of mucus is your fertile mucus becomes essential for women who want to get pregnant quickly. Knowing yourself, checking yourself, and analyzing yourself day after day is fundamental! This way you’ll know how to identify fertile mucus and have intercourse on the right days. Remember, fertile mucus can be elastic and opaque like egg white, thin and transparent, or even look like coconut detergent.
But there are women who don’t manage to see this mucus during their fertile window! That makes things even more difficult. Sometimes she feels excessively wet, or doesn’t notice any change at all. That’s why it’s better to check with a doctor if there is a possibility of not ovulating. If he finds chronic anovulation, he will certainly help with medication to induce ovulation. Remember, inducers are helpers, not miracle workers.
It’s no use taking them without medical advice thinking they’ll make pregnancy happen faster just because you’re taking them. They are intended for women who really have ovulation problems, and for a woman with healthy ovulatory function, they may do more harm than good. They can disrupt all your other hormones and may prolong the wait. Even when used under medical guidance, it’s best to do serial ultrasounds to check the exact day you’ll ovulate so you don’t waste time!
New Tricks and Tips to Get Pregnant Fast!
But Patricia, you’ve talked about this so many times, I want new tips! Alright, here we go! New tips to get pregnant fast are always welcome! Have you heard of the baking soda tip? This one is great, especially for women who want to get pregnant with a boy. It’s recommended to put two heaping tablespoons of baking soda in 2 liters of water and do a sitz bath or vaginal douche. This method will help with sperm motility and create an environment to prolong the sperm’s life inside your body.
Another new and very effective tip is the menstrual cup! Imagine having intercourse and seeing the semen run down your legs! It’s a desperate situation, so the menstrual collection cup is important. It will hold the ejaculated semen that wants to escape and keep it right near the cervix.
One of the simplest but also one of the best tips on how to get pregnant faster is to drink plenty of fluids! At least 2 liters per day. But what does this have to do with fertility? The body is made up of about 60% water. Besides detoxifying and hydrating the body, it also helps produce more cervical mucus! Estrogenic mucus from the fertile period will become thinner and more plentiful.
This way, it becomes ideal and will make it easier for sperm to move. Men should also drink plenty of fluids! It helps the semen that carries the sperm. As for men, no tight pants or underwear! It’s time to let things breathe to help sperm production. Boxer shorts and looser pants are better.
Having intercourse every other day during the fertile window is ideal. That’s because a man’s complete sperm replenishment mechanism can take about 36 hours. This way, ejaculation is much more effective. Also, try to really turn your partner on before sex. The more excited he is, the stronger his ejaculatory flow will be.
Simultaneous orgasm (for both the man and woman) also helps a lot for pregnancy to happen. That’s because the uterus pulls the semen in. Another tip for getting pregnant fast is to avoid oral sex for both partners during the fertile window. Saliva can interfere with sperm survival.
Finally, calculate your fertile window, have lots of sex, and don’t get up for at least an hour after intercourse. This will also help you conceive more quickly.
