Some people get pregnant without even really trying, and you may be one of these. But you may be very eager to conceive and do not want to leave anything to chance. You could even be keen for your baby to be born at a certain time of the year. Many people think that getting pregnant will just take a few days, but in reality, it may actually take a long time and plenty of patience. Here are some tips to help boost your chances of successfully conceiving.

• Pay a visit to your doctor. Before you even begin trying to get pregnant, pay a visit to your doctor for a physical exam. If your body is in tip-top shape, you have an excellent chance of falling pregnant quickly and are more likely to have a healthy, successful pregnancy.
  
• Ovulation is important. If you are not sure when you ovulate, note that you only ovulate once during a cycle. There are several ways to work out when this may happen, and as the ovaries only release one egg, time is important. In addition, there is only a window of 4 or 5 days when your chances are really good to conceive. Some doctors recommend the purchase of an Ovulation Calculator if you are having trouble with ovulation issues.
  
• Healthy sperm. You may have a clean bill of health, but it is important that your partner is also in the best of health. In order to successfully fertilise an egg, sperm needs to be healthy, strong and in plentiful supply. 
  
• Making sure there is a reduced risk of a low sperm count. A low sperm count is the most common fertility problem for men. If you are concerned about this possibility, there are things your partner can do to prevent this problem. Among these are lifestyle habits like cutting down on alcohol intake, giving up or cutting down smoking, and losing weight if overweight. Research has shown that obesity can lower sperm count, affect its movement and chances of getting to the egg.
  
• Eat a healthy diet. This is important for both you and your partner. Make sure that you both get enough of nutrients like zinc, folic acid, calcium, vitamins C and D, all of which promote a healthy pregnancy, and help create strong and plentiful sperm.
  
• Obesity. Being overweight can also negatively impact your chances of falling pregnant. If this is you, discard bad eating habits and embrace a healthy diet. Plan to exercise on a regular basis as this can help with weight loss efforts.

What happens if I just do not conceive?

If you are trying to fall pregnant naturally, it should happen within the first 6 months. If not, it will be okay to keep trying for a year before going for assistance. As long as you are sure that you are ovulating, there is always a chance of conceiving. Bear in mind that if the quality or the volume of the sperm is poor, the doctor might want to do some tests.

However, after a year or so of unprotected sex and there is no sign of a pregnancy, you should both consider seeing a fertility specialist for in-depth tests and analysis. Included in the tests, the doctor may want to do a full analysis of your cycle to make sure you are ovulating regularly. And the specialist will also test the quality and quantity of your partner’s sperm.

Remember that if the quality and quantity are poor, there are treatments and solutions available to help make your dreams come true.
