Becoming pregnant can be an enormously frustrating time for many couples for a variety of reasons.
Some people expect to fall pregnant fast, but then are thoroughly disappointed when they do not.
This can very often be a worrying time as many people will begin to think about fertility problems as the reason for not conceiving.
This is very often not the case as there are a number of things that can contribute to how it's possible to get pregnant quickly for some couples, and not for others.
These include maintaining a healthy lifestyle, being mentally and physically fit, how often you have sex, and understanding when you are most fertile, among other things.
In this article I will go through these specific influences that I have just mentioned.
Maintaining a health lifestyle Nutrition is an important part of fertility.
Ensuring that you eat a good amount of fruit and vegetables each day is a good way to increase the vital vitamins and minerals that help with fertility.
Your diet should also adhere to maintaining a healthy weight.
This applies to both women and men as being overweight can reduce the sperm count in males, and produce high levels of estrogen in women.
Smoking and drinking alcohol should also be avoided whilst trying to conceive, and also during pregnancy.
How often you have sex The frequency of having sex is an obvious factor in determining how quickly you become pregnant.
The more often you have sex the more likely you are to get pregnant.
For many couples wanting to conceive this is all it takes.
Have sex daily around the time of ovulation.
This may increase the chances of conception, especially if the man is healthy and has a good sperm count.
When you are most fertile Marking down the days when your period starts each month can help plan when it's best to try and conceive.
For a woman with a consistent 28-day cycle, ovulation is likely to begin 14 days after your last period started.
However, note that not all women have regular cycles, so planning by counting days is not always the most accurate method.
