Tips to increase your chances of getting pregnant
Falling pregnant can be extremely frustrating. For some people, it happens immediately. But for many, it involves months or even years of trying, running to the shop for pregnancy tests and visits to doctors. Fortunately, there are several natural ways to increase your chances of getting pregnant. Below are some that might be right for you.
What are the tips for getting pregnant naturally?
The first step to increasing your chances of falling speaker The most important thing, of course, is to plan intercourse around ovulation. To do this, monitor your cycle using ovulation tests and plan intercourse around 36 hours before ovulation, as this is when LH levels are highest and you are most fertile. Ovulation only occurs for 12 to 48 hours, once per menstrual cycle, when your body releases an egg. By timing intercourse around ovulation, you maximise the chances of the sperm meeting the egg and getting pregnant.
How to use ovulation tests to increase your chances of getting pregnant?
There are ovulation tests that allow you to accurately monitor the course of your cycle and exactly when you ovulate. This will allow you to identify the right days to become pregnant. In general, for a standard 28-day cycle, ovulation takes place on day 14. From day 10 of the cycle, your oestrogen levels rise and luteinising hormone (LH) will trigger ovulation. The ovulation test can therefore be used to monitor the onset of ovulation. The closer you get to your ovulation day, the darker the line on the test will be, showing the level of the hormone LH in your urine. By doing the test over several days, you can follow the rise in your hormones until you determine the day when the line is darkest (or most apparent), which will determine your ovulation day. We advise you to do a test every day for 6 days (from your 10th day of the cycle) to accurately determine your ovulation day and therefore the period when you are most fertile and most likely to become pregnant.
A healthy lifestyle increases your chances of getting pregnant
Whether you're trying to have a baby or not, what you eat has an impact on your life. Food has a major influence on the production of hormones in the body. Eating healthily will help to keep your hormone levels regular and normal and therefore optimise your chances of being pregnant.
You should be aware that the use of certain lubricants can have a negative effect on sperm quality. In order to become pregnant, it is not advisable to use lubricants during sexual relations..
Exercise and avoid alcohol, tobacco, nicotine and coffee. This will help you to have a regular cycle and optimise your chances of getting pregnant. A regular cycle is easier to track and follow than an irregular one. If you are experiencing irregularities in your cycle, it is essential to go and see a gynaecologist and talk to him or her about it.
Taking dietary supplements to help you get pregnant
There are many supplements you can take that have been shown to increase your chances of getting pregnant. Firstly, folic acid is a supplement found in many prenatal vitamins that increases the chances of conception and reduces the risk of neural tube birth defects. Apart from supplements, folic acid can be found naturally in foods such as green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, brown rice and beans. Zinc is another natural supplement found in vegetables and eggs, which both partners can take every day to increase the chances of pregnancy. Your GP will probably recommend a specific brand of vitamin, but good vitamins generally contain folic acid, calcium, iron, vitamin D and Omega 3, also known as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). They are available over the counter and should be taken before and during pregnancy.

Exercise if you're planning to get pregnant
It's hard enough to push yourself to exercise when you're not pregnant, so imagine how difficult it is when you are. Whether you're trying to get pregnant or are already pregnant, moderate exercise should be part of your journey. Being overweight or underweight can upset your natural hormonal balance and have an impact on your ovulation, making conception more difficult. For people trying to get pregnant, doctors recommend 30 minutes of exercise 3 to 4 times a week, whatever your pace.
See your doctor as soon as you plan to get pregnant.
This is the last piece of advice we have for you: even if you don't seem to be having any particular problems, it's best to have a consultation before you start trying to get pregnant. This will allow you to check that everything is going well and will give you confidence. And above all, don't forget to communicate! Talk to your partner and tell them about your desires and fears. Stress is enemy number one when it comes to getting pregnant.
Finally, if getting pregnant takes a little longer than you'd like, don't feel guilty. In Switzerland, around one couple in six has difficulty conceiving children.
