Are you trying to have a baby? There are many ways to get pregnant and give your body the best chance of conceiving. This article will go over some of the best ways you can increase your fertility and finally have that baby of your dreams.

The most common misconception when it comes to trying to get pregnant is that you must have intercourse on Day 14 to conceive a child.

The reason for this myth is that the average day for someone to ovulate is on day 14; however it is just an average. You might ovulate later or earlier in your cycle and could be missing your peak day.

So your first step to getting pregnant is determining your ovulation day since this is the day that you release an egg and the few days surrounding it are your most fertile.

You can do that in any number of ways, but the most popular are by charting your temperature, using ovulation predictor kits, saliva monitors, checking the position of your cervix or keeping track of your fertile cervical mucus. You can either do one method or two or three to find out your ovulation day.

The next step is to make sure that your cervical fluid is plentiful as this is what the sperm uses to swim up the fallopian tubes to find the egg. You’ll notice that your cervical fluid (cf) becomes wetter and slippery as you approach your ovulation day. The most fertile cf is said to resemble egg whites and be stretchy and clear.

You can increase the amount of fertile cervical fluid that you produce by drinking lots of water, as this is what your body uses to make it. There are other tricks to increase the amount too, like eat carrots and take evening primrose oil to improve its quality.

You should also try and conceive using positions that involve deep penetration as this deposits the sperm close to the cervix and so they have a better chance of reaching the egg (and don’t have as far to swim).

Getting pregnant is becoming a problem in our world with now 1 in 6 couples experiencing problems trying to conceive. Knowing the best ways to get pregnant will help you give yourself the best chance of having a baby.

If you have been doing any research online about how to conceive a boy you’ll know that there are three main criteria for getting pregnant with a boy baby and they are timing ovulation, eating a diet high in protein and potassium and keeping your pH levels of your vagina at an alkaline level. This article will focus primarily on the latter by giving your some tips to make sure that you get the right pH level for a boy baby.

First let’s look at a little background as to why pH levels are important in gender selection.

As you know the Y chromosome sperm is the one responsible for producing a male baby and so you want to increase your chances of one of these reaching the egg first. Fortunately with the advances in science, it has been found that the sperm carrying the Y chromosome is weaker than the X (female chromosome) sperm but is much faster.

It also favors an alkaline environment and can live much longer in that pH than it can in an acidic environment. So by changing your reproductive pH levels you can help increase your chances of getting pregnant with a boy baby.

So how do you change your pH levels?

Let’s first start with the simplest and easiest way to make your pH more alkaline and this have an orgasm! Yes the good news is that the best way of changing your vaginal environment to one that favors the male sperm is by have an orgasm before or at the same time as the father. Getting pregnant with a boy baby is much more fun than trying for a girl in which orgasm is not recommended.

And you can also change your levels with a diet that reduces the amount of acid in your body. Low pH foods include bananas, watermelon, figs, potatoes, peas and corn.

Many women particularly swear by eating bananas for getting boys. And the science backs this up as not only are banana’s very low acid, they are also high in potassium – a nutrient that studies have shown increase your chances of conceive a boy.

There are many things that you can do when trying to get pregnant that can help you to fall pregnant faster. You can chart your temperature to find out when you ovulate, you can get healthy by eating good foods and exercising and you can take fertility supplements. This article will look at four top vitamins and herbs that can help improve your fertility.

Vitex (Agnus Castus / Chasteberry)

Vitex can help balance your hormones, which is why it’s particularly beneficial for women with Polycystic Ovary Symdrome (PCOS) or women who have a luteal phase defect (the time between ovulation and menstruation which is mean to be 11 days or longer).

It takes around three to four months for it to help balance your reproductive hormones before you will really notice much difference but it’s safe to take Vitex throughout your whole cycle so it’s worth adding to your fertility arsenal.

Vitamin B6

Many women swear by Vitamin B6 in increasing their fertility. Another vitamin that is safe to take throughout your entire cycle, Vitamin B6 helps to balance hormones, increase progesterone and improve cervical fluid.

Many women are deficient in B6 without knowing it and that can cause an excess of estrogen in the body making it difficult to conceive.

Just adding 60mg per day is enough to improve many women’s chances of conceiving.

Dong Quai (Angelica Sinensis Root)

Dong Quai can help thin out the blood and improve circulation to the reproductive system (which is why it’s beneficial when you are trying to fall pregnant). It shouldn’t be taken while you are menstruating but can be taken throughout the rest of your cycle.

Evening Primrose Oil

Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is great for improving your cervical fluid and helping you get egg white cervical mucus which is considered the most fertile cervical fluid that you can have. It should only be taken in the first half of your cycle until you ovulate.
