Of course there are couples who for medical reasons will never be able to have children, at least not as a couple.  But for the majority it really is a case of time and perseverance.  But is there anything you can do to give Mother Nature a helping hand?

Well, firstly, let’s go back to the beginning.  Stop getting stressed!  Stress can imbalance your hormones and will make it harder for you to conceive.  Taking time to get pregnant is normal so stop worrying.  Instead concentrate on what you can do to improve your chances rather than harming them unnecessarily.

For example, a healthy diet is a good place to start, and if you’re overweight, try losing a few pounds.  Both can have a real effect on your fertility.

To really improve your chances you need to take the time to fully understand the timings of your ovulation cycle.  By familiarising yourself with the workings of your menstrual cycle you have a much better probability of his sperm and your egg being in the right place at exactly the required time. The female body releases one egg every month, so its important you know exactly when it is released so that you can time your lovemaking to coincide with your fertile period, therefore giving the greatest opportunity of conception.
