The time of the month that you try to conceive is one of the biggest factors that determines how successful you will be. A woman’s ovulation cycle varies from individual to individual, and knowing your cycle, and at what point in the cycle you are the most fertile, can be a big help when you are trying to get pregnant.
Despite what some friends might have told you, it isn’t possible to become pregnant at any time. You must be inseminated at least 2-3 days before ovulating in order to get pregnant.
So, how do you know when you will ovulate? There are kits that will help you to predict your ovulation cycle, fertility specialists you can consult with, and various other methods.
Your natural degree of fertility also has a large bearing on how quickly you can conceive. Some women are not fertile at all and can fail to conceive after even years of trying to get pregnant, whereas others are almost certain to become pregnant every time that they have unprotected sex prior to ovulation.
Help is available though, in the form of fertility drugs, for women who are not blessed with a high level of fertility. A couple of the most popular ones, gonadotropins and clomiphene, are prescribed to over a hundred thousand women each year for this purpose.
Prior to using fertility drugs though, you should be aware that they significantly increase the likelihood of you giving birth to more than one child from a single pregnancy. It is thought that around 10% of women taking such drugs will give birth to either twins or triplets.
This is great for women who would like to have a multiple birth, but there are drawbacks. When you are carrying more than one baby, the odds of a premature birth or miscarriage is higher than when carrying a single baby.
In-vitro fertilization can be an option if the above options still don’t see you succeed whilst trying to get pregnant. It’s not a cheap option, so it’s definitely worth trying the other methods first, but it is known to be extremely effective, even for women with a low level of fertility.
