Top 10 Tips For Getting Pregnant Faster
Are you ready to Conceive now? If you and your partner have been thinking about having your own bundle of joy and are ready to take the plunge, chances are that you would want to do everything possible to start with this magical journey as quickly as possible.
Today we will discuss some simple tips for getting pregnant faster that you and your partner should do to prepare yourselves and expedite the process to start your journey towards parenthood.
1) Stop taking Birth control Pills as soon as possible
This is the very first step in the process. If you are taking any pills or using patches, your body will take some time to come out of the effect of these hormonal contraceptives and get back to its natural cycle. It usually takes few weeks (about 2-3 months) after stopping contraceptives for the body to come into its groove and prepare for conception in most women. For more detailed information, discuss with your doctor about the perfect time to come off the pills/patches and start preparing your body.
2) Start working out (and take your partner with you)
It is a well documented scientific finding that your fertility increases as you get fitter. Exercising at home or going to the gym does not only get you in shape by shedding off those extra pounds, but it also reduces your levels of the stress hormone cortisol and increases blood flow to reproductive organs, and put you on the fast track to pregnancy. However, please remember that as some very knowledgeable people have said before, excess of anything good is bad so please do the exercise in moderation and do not overdo yourself or put excessive stress on your body.
3) Start Eating Healthy
Eating healthy is one of the most important things to account for if you are trying to conceive not only for you but your partner as well. Healthy fats like omega can boost sperm count and motility, while saturated fats can negatively impact sperm size and shape putting a speed breaker on the process. Therefore, promote healthy eating during this time and try out lots of vegetables (green is good), salmons, oysters, fruits, walnuts, etc. and lay off fried junk food as much as possible.
4) Start taking Prenatal Vitamins
Prenatal vitamins taken under direction from your doctor are a really good move for a mom to be. They don’t only help with morning sickness and premature births by providing your body the fuel it needs but also helps keep you in good shape for a faster conception.
5) Limit Alcohol & Caffeine Intake
Several medical studies have shown that the chances of conception go up if you limit your alcohol and caffeine intake. This is also true for your partner. Try to stop alcohol altogether and also limit your caffeine intake to not more than 1-2 cups a day.
6) Say Goodbye to Smoking
Smoking is one of the most harmful things that you can do while trying to get pregnant since it causes major damage to your eggs and increases the chance of a miscarriage. Try to stop smoking if possible or at least reduce it as much as possible while you are trying to get pregnant. Anyway, it is strictly prohibited to smoke while you are pregnant so it is better to get into a habit of not smoking even before you start on the journey to be a mother.
7) Try to Stay Happy & Stress-free
In this digital age where there are plenty of things to keep you distracted and operate at an unusually high-stress level, you need to learn to keep calm. Let go of those things which keep your mind occupied or keep you tensed. Try to relax your mind as much as possible. Practice yoga if that helps you calm your mind or start going out for walks with your partner to take your mind away from day to day worries. Listen to music or catch those mid-day naps to relax if need be.
8) Stop using Lubricants
If you are trying to get pregnant, it is a good idea to stop using oil-based lubricants and instead let your body generate its own natural lubrication. Oil-based lubricants have the potential to play the spoilsport by influencing the pH balance in your vaginal tract making it more difficult for sperm to find the bull’s eye. We would recommend that you rely on age-old methods of being with each other and try the old-fashioned foreplay to get the juices going instead.
9) Go for a check-up and discuss with your doctor
It is always a good idea to keep your doctor involved in the process as they have complete information available on your medical history and can recommend other more customized steps to speed up the process for your particular case. Go for a consultation and get a complete check-up done to understand which areas you should focus on the most.
10) Do Activities together with your Partner
This is a rather unconventional tip but equally effective. Spending more time with each other will help you feel more emotionally connected and also keep you in good spirits which is one of the most important things while you are trying to get pregnant. These activities do not need to be very extensive but small things like watching movies together, playing some games, cooking together, etc.
