Before wasting a year trying to get
pregnant, it might be a better idea to have a thorough
physical examination to make sure that there are no
cysts or masses in the pelvic area or any chronic
vaginal infection. The doctor may, if he/she feels
necessary, check for ovarian
cysts
,
fibroids. endometriosis or other pelvic inflammatory
diseases and take care of them so that pregnancy may
have a chance.

Try
to maintain a healthy lifestyle and this goes for both
men and women. It is not only good in terms of getting
pregnant but is also beneficial for the ultimate result,
i.e., the offspring.
Tip
# 3

Indulge
in sex around the time of ovulation when the woman’s egg
is capable of being fertilized by the male sperm for a
limited period (12 to 22 hours) after it is released
from the ovary. As the sperm and the egg must interact
with each other for an embryo to be formed, the
intending couple should have sex every 72 hours during
the female ovulation. According to some female fertility
gurus, this may be reduced to every 48 hours.
Tip
# 4 –
Males
may discharge every two to three days for the best
result. They should also do it at least once every two
or three days all through the month to keep up their
sperm supply and also maintain good quality
sperm.
Tip
# 5 –
Men
should try to keep their testicles cool as researchers
have found that heat can cause mass murder of
spermatozoa. In fact, that’s probably why the testicles
are outside the body and are thus free from normal body
heat. Avoid hot water tubs as far as possible and wear
boxer shorts as casual wear. Tight underwear is also
detrimental to sperm health as are car seat covers with
animal hair.
Tip
# 6 –
Practice Yoga
or other methods to eliminate stress. While it
seriously interferes with menstruation in the female,
stress no doubt plays hell with the libido, the primary
sexual driving force for
males.
Tip
# 7 –
Get
rid of alcohol and drug habits as soon as possible. High
alcohol intake and marijuana smoking can throw hormones
out of balance (true for both men and women). Moreover,
drugs have severely damaging effects on sperm
production.
Tip
# 8 –
Stop
taking self-prescribed over-the-counter analgesics as
they are likely to impair fertility. Besides, they can
inhibit ovulation and conception. In fact, it can be
helpful if all medication is stopped forthwith, barring
those prescribed by the
physician.
Tip
# 9 –
Lubricating
gels, creams or suppositories must be stopped as some of
these are endowed with sperm killing qualities. Besides,
most of them, according to fertility experts, impair the
sperm’s natural motive to travel through the woman’s
reproductive tract and fertilize the
egg.
Now
here are some tips
on how to get pregnant
for all those couples who have a medical problem. There
are many who make the mistake of opting for conventional
therapies not knowing that the success rate is quite low
and they come with many side effects as well. The fact
is, holistic remedies work best for fertility. The
holistic approach first finds out the real cause of the
problem and then suggests a remedy which can be Chinese
medicines, herbs, diet and lifestyle changes, exercise
and even acupuncture to deliver the results. Holistic
remedies almost always work much better than
conventional therapies for
fertility.
