I know how fortunate my husband and I were to be able to conceive all of our children\u00a0almost immediately after we started trying. Unfortunately, the same is not true for the majority of the population. \u00a0A few people we know also had some issues conceiving. \u00a0For some it took years, for some it took the use of IVF,\u00a0others\u00a0are still trying. Infertility is not an easy topic of talk about but an important one that should not be ignored. I can’t really do it much justice except to say that I want to support those that are trying to conceive but can’t.<\/p>\n
Below, FIRST RESPONSE helps debunk the myths around conception, fertility and timing.<\/p>\n
For all couples trying to conceive, there are some general guidelines to consider[1]:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If\u00a0looking to start (or grow) a family sooner, rather than later, here are some important steps to take to make getting pregnant as seamless as possible.<\/p>\n
1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Start with a pre-pregnancy trip to a trusted doctor<\/strong>. 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 2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Lead 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—affecting overall fertility[2].<\/p>\n 3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Understand 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 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 [[1]]\u00a0http:\/\/www.babycenter.com\/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-pregnant<\/a><\/p>\n [2]\u00a0http:\/\/www.firstresponse.com\/pregnancy-preparation<\/a><\/p>\n
