Below are 10 tips that need to be followed by every female to naturally get pregnant.

Frequency of menstruation

A female who is healthy and is under 35 years of age should monitor her menstruation cycle regularly to ensure the best chances of getting pregnant. So, for that case, she needs to monitor her period days that should come on the same days of the month. By this, she can predict the days on the calendar and find the time of ovulation easily, which is the time her ovaries release the egg.

So, she has to undergo sex every other day during this time to increase her chances of getting pregnant.

An egg can be fertile for 12 to 24 hours only while the male's sperm can remain fertile for 5 days in a woman's body.

Monitoring ovulation

Female with regular cycles ovulate about 2 weeks before the periods, which is not possible to monitor in the females with an irregular cycle. There are several methods through which females can predict their most fertile days such as ovulation predicting kits or the kits that test the urine for luteinizing hormone.

Another successful method to track ovulation is the cervical mucus that involves the woman regularly monitoring the amount and quality of mucus.

Enjoy regular sex during fertile window

Having sex during the fertile days is the best way to increase the chances of getting pregnant. Some females are getting new tools like fertility tracking apps or websites to help them know which time is the best to conceive.

Research has shown that there has been a big difference in the ratio of couples who have to conceive while having sex every day in the fertile window than those who are having sex every other day or less in the fertile window.

Maintain a healthy weight

Being too heavy can increase the odds that hinder conception while being too thin can also make it very hard to conceive. So, a healthy weight is the first choice of doctors and also advisable to increase the chances of you getting pregnant.

Take a multivitamin

Folic acid is a good idea as the fetus' neutral tube gets developed in the head even before the female knows that she is pregnant.

Eat healthy

Eating healthy is also a good aspect that helps in conceiving. In this way, the female is getting the nutrients that are necessary for her to get before getting pregnant.

Do adequate exercise

Being active is good as it makes a woman's body fit for the pregnancy and labor but too much exercise will interfere with ovulation, which again meddles with your chances of conception.

Know about age-related fertility decline

As the age of the woman advances the fertility also decreases because of changes in the ovaries that decrease the quality of the eggs.

Adopt healthy habits

Kicking the habits of smoking and drinking is necessary to conceive. Research has proved that these habits can decrease the quality of the mature eggs.

Know when to seek help

If a woman is of 35 years of age or above and has tried for more than six months to get pregnant after having regular sex but is still unable to conceive, she should get a doctor's advice straight away.
