How to Get Pregnant Faster

1. Know When You Ovulate

Some women don’t know when they ovulate. Ladies, if you want to get pregnant faster, you must learn your ovulation cycle. Get an app if you need to or talk to your doctor, but this is the fastest way to get pregnant. Since you ovulate once each menstrual cycle, you only have a few days window to actually get pregnant. It’s strongly advised to have sex three days before till the day of your ovulation to get busy with your partner.

2. Prep You and Your Partner's Body Right

An egg has a better shot at fertilizing when it’s healthy. Treat your body well to increase your chances. Here are a few tips for you and your partner:

  • Stop drinking and smoking
  • Ladies, start taking your prenatal vitamins
  • Eat a healthy diet
  • Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and extremely hot showers, as they can kill sperm

3. Choose Optimal Sex Positions

To help sperm swim up to the fallopian tube, choose sex positions that angle them upward. Get creative in the bedroom to increase your chances of fertilization.

4. Give It Time and Relax

Feeling stressed and putting too much pressure on yourself can hinder the process. Give it time! Breathe, enjoy having sex with each other, and keep the romance alive.

5. Maintain the Right Weight

Being underweight or overweight can reduce your chances of getting pregnant. Find the right balance for a healthy body. Consult a doctor for advice on achieving the right weight for conception.
