trying to conceive?

Children are blessings, I believe that . That is why I am one of those who are very much against abortion, it is just not right. A twitter friend has been trying to conceive and she shared this in her blog which she got from EHow.com. I guess this would benefit anyone who is trying to convince. Read and follow this by heart and when that big day comes, do not forget to take your over the counter prenatal vitamins.

Step 1
Stop using contraception. There are some arguments about how soon you can start trying to conceive after discontinuing certain birth control methods. Discuss this issue with your OBGYN as their opinion might be different than anyone else. There are some methods that might take up to eighteen months before a woman’s ovulation cycles are normal again.

Step 2
Change your diet. If you and your partner’s current diet is lacking the recommended amounts of fruits, vegetables, grains, calcium and folic acid, it might affect both male and female reproductive organs. In addition to a well balanced diet for mom to be, she should begin taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid a few months before trying to conceive. The balanced diet will also help if there are any concerns about being an ideal weight prior to conception.

Step 3
Stop smoking, using drugs and drinking alcohol. This is for both males and females.

Step 4
Create an ovulation calendar. Women are most fertile anytime between ten and eighteen days from the first day of their last menstrual cycle. You can choose to have intercourse every day in between these eight days or every other day. Once the egg is released, it is only viable for 12 to 24 hours.

Step 5
Let gravity work for you. Some doctors will advise you to remain lying down with a pillow under the pelvic region for up to 30 minutes after intercourse to increase your chances of conceiving. This act is said to create a “pool” of sperm in the cervix.

Step 6
Reduce any stress in your life! Stress could lower sperm count and hinder ovulation. The more you worry, the longer it will take to conceive a baby. Just relax and let things happen naturally.
