You can improve your chances of conceieving a healthy pregnancy by taking a good quality prenatal supplement with the required amounts if folic acid.

How To Get Pregnant Fast – Perhaps this is something you have been pondering upon for some time now.

The truth is you may or may not be doing something anything wrong. Be rest assured that so many factors contribute to how easily you get pregnant and my goal here is to share some of what I know will definitely increase your chances of getting pregnant.

Perhaps the most important step you need to take is to know your fertile window. What exactly is your fertile window? This is that time of the month when you have the highest chance of conceiving if you have intercourse with you partner.

Over a period of a few months, usually about 3 months you need to keep a record of your menstrual cycle and know on which day you are likely to ovulate.

The purpose of this is to know when your ovary is likely to release an egg, which then needs to be fertilised within 24 hours.

Once you know your ovulation days and time intercourse from at least 3 days before and maybe two days after, I can assure you, you have increased your chances of conceiving by as much as 50%

There are several methods you can use to know the precise day in which you likely to ovulate: the Cervical Mucus Method (CM), The Basal Body Temperature (BBT), and the use of ovulation kits.

1. I would recommend using a good ovulation kit Clear Blue Fertility kits remains the number one choice. They are one of the best and have been shown to be to 99.9% accurate.

2. You need to keep your partners sperm supply fresh and active: The general conception is that you need to “save” up the sperm for your fertile window. Yes the sperm may be plentiful them but the truth is that they will be weak and sluggish.

You need to have regular intercourse with your partner at least every four days. This will endure that when during the month when you are most fertile; his sperm is fresh, active, and able to do the job.

3. Avoid any form of lubrication. Research has shown that store bought lubricants like Vaseline and KY Jelly actually damage the sperm and weaken them and that is definitely not something you want to be doing in any instance.
