Wanting to have a baby is normally a happy time in a couples life. From the moment of conception all throughout the pregnancy up to that very special moment when you meet your child for the first time can be very exciting. For most couples becoming pregnant is quite simple. However for others becoming pregnant can be a very difficult task. If you are having trouble conceiving a child your dream has now become fraught with new worries, feelings of inadequacy, and sometimes additional expenses. The fact is it does take time. Medically,there is no cause for concern unless you have been having unprotected sex for over a year without conception.
What about fertility? This simply refers to the chance you and your partner have of becoming pregnant. Several factors play a key role in this.What you are eating and how much exercise you are getting can have large impacts on your fertility.Also keep in mind this is not just about you. It is also about your partner. Are they getting enough exercise? Eating the right foods?
Caffeine in your diet can reduce your fertility tremendously. One cup of coffee per day can reduce your fertility by 50%. While alcohol also reduces your fertility, it can increase the production of abnormal sperm. These are two things you both want to avoid to increase your chances. Exercise is also a very important factor. Excess body fat can increase the amount of estrogen in your body, thus throwing the female fertility cycle off balance.
And of course trying different sexual intercourse positions can increase your chances of pregnancy. Your goal is to get the sperm as close to your cervix as possible. So having intercourse with the female on top is out of the question. This position can allow the sperm to leak out. The missionary position is recommended for deepest penetration.While rear entry allows the sperm to be planted as close to the cervix as possible.If you and your partner are both fertile. You will eventually conceive, patience is the key. About
