Often, a healthy partner and regular sexual intercourse are sufficient to conceive. However, in some cases, it may take a long time or be difficult for women to get pregnant. If you don't want to wait and want to get pregnant quickly, you can try some methods to increase your chances of conceiving.
Ways to Increase Your Chances of Getting Pregnant
1. Sexual intercourse during ovulation.
One of the most important ways to increase your chances of getting pregnant is to have sex during ovulation. In women with regular menstrual cycles, ovulation usually occurs 14 days after the start of menstruation. Therefore, considering that ovulation will begin approximately 14 days after your period, you should increase the frequency of sexual intercourse from 2-3 days before to 2-3 days after ovulation.
2. Vaginal Douche
Vaginal douching disrupts the bacterial flora in the vagina, leading to infections. This can negatively impact your quality of life and sexual activity. Vaginal douching can also make it more difficult to conceive and may lead to miscarriage or premature birth. Therefore, if you want to conceive, you should avoid vaginal douching.
3. Chemical Products
Lubricants such as gels and creams used during sexual intercourse can reduce the chances of pregnancy due to the chemicals they contain. Although these products may make intercourse easier, they can reduce sperm motility, thus decreasing the likelihood of pregnancy. I do not recommend the use of such products during sexual intercourse for those trying to conceive.
4. Proper and Balanced Nutrition
I want to get pregnant. If you're saying "but I don't know what to do," you should also review your diet. If you have an unbalanced and unhealthy diet, your chances of getting pregnant will decrease. To change this, you should be at your ideal body weight, include protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin sources in your diet, and eat as naturally as possible.
5. Cigarette
Smoking addiction is a significant public health problem. Smoking has numerous harmful effects on our bodies. It is one of the biggest obstacles to getting pregnant. The chemicals in cigarettes damage reproductive functions, reducing the chances of pregnancy and potentially leading to the depletion of follicles in the ovaries. Just because you don't smoke doesn't mean you're unaffected. Passive smoking also affects you. Therefore, I recommend being more cautious in environments where smoking is present.
6. Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol disrupts estrogen (female hormone) levels, negatively impacting ovulation and fertilization. In the event of pregnancy, since the first few months are crucial for the development of the baby's organs, any alcohol you unknowingly consume will affect your baby. Therefore, if you are planning to conceive, you should completely eliminate alcohol and alcoholic beverages from your life.
7. Stress Level
Stress, like many other health problems, negatively impacts pregnancy. Even without any biological problems, stress can prevent you from conceiving. As stress levels increase, all mechanisms in the body are negatively affected, including reproductive functions. By controlling your stress levels and moving forward in a healthier way, one of the obstacles to conceiving will be removed.
All this ways to get pregnant If you suspect you are unable to conceive due to reasons other than those mentioned above, you can consult a specialist doctor to determine the cause and begin fertility treatment without delay.
