If you are a woman trying to get pregnant, I have some good news. It can actually be made a little bit easier statistically speaking by following a few simple guidelines. Now of course luck plays a small part in this as well, but if you follow certain steps outlined in this article you will help increase your odds somewhat.

First of all you really need to know when the most fertile time to get pregnant is for a woman. There is a lot of misinformation out there and that is not helpful, so here is the real deal. Naturally the best time to get pregnant is during ovulation, but how can you tell the exact time when you start ovulating? Be aware of the symptoms of ovulation, which sometimes can be discovered by changes in cervical mucus such as a thin watery, mucus-like discharge. Also there may be a very slight pain when a woman ovulates, this is a great time to start having more sex frequently.

Another thing a woman can do to time the ovulation is to purchase what’s called a ovulation prediction kit which can greatly reduce the guesswork. Timing the menstrual cycle is critical, so if the first day of your period is day one, you should start doing the test on around day 9. Women who have a 28-day cycle normally ovulate on day 14 so give a few days "head start" and you should be able to pinpoint the exact day you begin to ovulate. Having regular sex several days before and after your ovulation will be the optimum chance to get pregnant.

Other advice that woman should know about of course is to eat healthy and maintain good habits. Women who smoke should obviously quit, and if you drink too much coffee you may also decrease your chances of getting pregnant. Exercise for at least 30 minutes per day to be sure your weight is in check, which will also make you feel better mentally, in many ways. Meditation is also good for your mental balance, although you may not be able to find the time. These efforts can pay off by decreasing your chances of feeling apprehensive or stressed out about your goal of having a baby, which is a real plus since many women do get too focused on the task. Taking a good multivitamin that contains folic acid will be big plus too, as many doctors and health practitioners will recommend. You want as many chances to not only increase your odds of getting pregnant, but to also make sure you have a healthy environment for your baby once you do get pregnant.

In conclusion, there are ways to increase your odds of getting pregnant, but don’t get stressed out or upset if it doesn’t happen right away. Be positive and try not to be too focused on getting pregnant, and as long as you stay healthy it will happen.
