1.1. Determining the date of ovulation The most important factor to get pregnant quickly is determining the date of ovulation. Normally, you only ovulate once in each menstrual cycle. If you know the time of this phenomenon, the chances of getting pregnant in that month will be higher.
You can apply a few different methods to determine when you ovulate, such as:
Method 1: If your cycle is regular, try calculating the day of ovulation to know when you are fertile pregnancy during the month. Method 2: Use an ovulation predictor kit to check hormone levels mid-cycle. The test strip will show when you are about to ovulate. Method 3: Track the signs of ovulation month by month, such as changes in basal body temperature and increased vaginal mucus, to see when you might be pregnant. If you have irregular menstrual cycles, determining when you ovulate can be more difficult. Ask a specialist for detailed advice.

1.2. Having sex at the right time Once you know your ovulation period, plan to have sex during your most fertile period. Specifically, 2-3 days before ovulation until the day you ovulated. If you're not sure about your most fertile period, aim to have sex every day for the second 2 weeks of your cycle. That way, you can keep healthy sperm in your fallopian tubes, ready to conceive as soon as your body releases an egg.
1.3. Improves sperm quality Healthy sperm increases the chances of successful fertilization of an egg. To improve fertility, ensure there are many healthy sperm in semen, men should:
Avoid smoking and weeds, electronic drugs, chemicals... Limit, do not consume items Drinking alcohol more than 2 times a day Try to regain a reasonable body weight if overweight Get enough important nutrients such as zinc, folic acid and vitamin C, to create strong and abundant sperm Stick to a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress. Men should implement the above tips as soon as possible because sperm takes a while to mature. Any positive changes now will result in a generation of better quality sperm in about the next 3 months.
2. The truth about the fastest way to get pregnant
2.1. Positions to get pregnant quickly There is no evidence that sex positions affect your chances of conceiving. Many people think that positions that place the penis closest to the cervix - like the traditional or from the back, are more promising. However, there are no scientific studies to prove this.
2.2. Abstain from sex, wait for the right day. Similarly, there is no scientific basis to prove that abstaining from sex to save sperm for ovulation increases the chances of conception. If a man's sperm is healthy and normal, they will be produced regularly every day. So both of you don't have to wait, instead have regular sex around the time of ovulation.
2.3. Vaginal lubricants Many vaginal lubricants, both store-bought and homemade versions (like olive oil), can slow sperm movement. If you want to use it, ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice on a type that does not affect fertility.
2.4. Orgasms increase your chances of getting pregnant
Some people believe that women who orgasm after their partner ejaculates are more likely to get pregnant. However, there is no evidence to support this view.
Although uterine contractions during climax are more likely to push sperm toward the fallopian tubes, in general orgasm is not necessary for conception.
2.5. Women should lie still after sex There is no evidence that this will make a difference. As you near ovulation, you may notice a sticky vaginal discharge. This type of cervical mucus traps sperm. So even though some semen comes out of the vagina after sex, most of the sperm still lives in the woman's body. With millions of sperm per ejaculate, many of them already make their way to the egg, even if you get up immediately after sex.
3. How long does it take to get pregnant?
It's impossible to say exactly how long it will take to get pregnant, but most couples who have unprotected sex will "have the good news" within three months. It may take longer if you're older, have bad habits that affect fertility (like smoking), or have a medical condition that impairs fertility.
Chances of getting pregnant for all couples fall between:
30% get pregnant in the first cycle (about 1 month) 60% get pregnant within 3 cycles (about 3 months). 80% get pregnant within 6 cycles (about 6 months). 85% get pregnant within 12 cycles (about 1 year). 92% became pregnant within 48 cycles (about 4 years).
4. Effect of age on pregnancy rate
The best period to conceive naturally is in your 20s. The older you get, the harder it is to get pregnant, mainly because egg quality declines with age. A healthy 30-year-old woman has about a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month, but by age 40, they have only about a 5% chance. At the age of 45, very few women get pregnant naturally. However, male fertility does not decline until the age of 50.
If you are under 35 and still have not become pregnant after trying for 1 year, it is advisable to see a fertility health professional. produce. If you're 35 or older, see your doctor if you're still not pregnant after 6 months of trying.
On average, couples need at least 1 year for a successful pregnancy, some even have to wait longer. Therefore, do not be too impatient to put pressure on yourself, hindering the natural conception process. Instead, couples should go for a prenatal check-up, which helps to know their overall condition. Through that, the doctor will also give more advice on nutrition, living and how to get pregnant quickly.
