A credible doctor will be able to discuss the most important topics when it comes to conceiving, like menstrual cycle timing and regularity, parents\u2019 medical history, exercise, eating habits and more.<\/p>\n<p>2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Lead a healthy and happy lifestyle<\/strong>. Simple changes like getting more sleep, and spending extra time with friends and family can do wonders for the body. Reducing stress is another important element as stress can cause irregular ovulation and can disrupt a woman\u2019s menstrual cycle&#8212;affecting overall fertility[2].<\/p>\n<p>3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Understand your peak fertile days<\/strong>.\u00a0 If a woman knows her most fertile days, it can help speed up the pregnancy and planning process. The FIRST RESPONSE\u2122 Digital Ovulation Predictor Test is over 99% accurate for detecting a woman\u2019s personal luteinizing hormone (LH) surge, giving an easy and accurate way to determine the two days a month when each woman is most likely to ovulate[3]. If intercourse happens within the 24-36 hour window, this will maximize her chances of getting pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>By helping to determine a woman\u2019s unique peak fertility days, and understanding her body, FIRST RESPONSE can help speed up the pregnancy process.<\/p>\n<p>[[1]]\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.babycenter.com\/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-pregnant\">http:\/\/www.babycenter.com\/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-pregnant<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[2]\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.firstresponse.com\/pregnancy-preparation\">http:\/\/www.firstresponse.com\/pregnancy-preparation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[3]\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.firstresponse.com\/pregnancy-preparation-step3\">http:\/\/www.firstresponse.com\/pregnancy-preparation-step3<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know how fortunate my husband and I were to be able to conceive all of our children\u00a0almost immediately after we started trying.
