Getting pregnant tips?




Deserae~fi


My husband and I would like to have a baby. Are there any good "getting pregnant" tips you ladies can give me? We are using preseed and we have been having sex almost every day. Are there any specific positions that can help or an herb or something I can take that can help with fertility? Hoping to get pregnant soon. Baby Dust to you all.


Answer
In some cases, as when nature needs a boost, a little push from you and your partner can go a long way in getting pregnant. When it comes to the best position to get pregnant, the general rule is that the male sperm must be deposited as near to the female cervix as possible.


This has something to do with the life spans of the female egg and the male sperm. Once an egg is released from the ovary - a stage also known as ovulation - it begins its path down the fallopian tube to the uterus. A released egg typically survives for only 24 hours, while a sperm can last anywhere from three to five days in the female body. As such, the egg has to be as close to the egg as possible so they can meet and join before the egg dies.

While not a lot of people will agree that the sexual positions have anything to do with getting pregnant, the logical inference is that it makes sense to assume the position that can help the sperm meet the egg in the shortest possible time.

This is especially true when for couples who have problems or difficulty conceiving. Having said this, the first "best position to get pregnant" tip is to avoid positions that least expose the cervix to the male sperm, and that generally defy gravity such as sex while standing up, sitting down, or with the woman on top. When trying to conceive, it is best to limit the amount of sperm that flows back out of the vagina.

The woman's hips should also be positioned in such a way that the sperm released is kept inside, giving it enough time to swim up to the female cervix.

Consider the following positions instead:

1. The missionary position. Or man-on-top is said to be the position that's best for getting pregnant. This is because this particular position allows for the deepest possible penetration, making it possible for the sperm to get deposited closest to the cervix.

2. Raise the hips. Elevating the hips, which can be done by placing a pillow behind her, can also be helpful because this exposes the female cervix to as much semen as the male can release.

3. Doggy-style. The rear-entry position where the man enters the woman from behind is also a recommended position. In this position, sperm is also deposited closest to the cervix, thereby helping increase the chances of conception.

4. Side-by-side. You can also try having intercourse while lying side by side. This position likewise causes the most exposure of the cervix to the male sperm.

5. Orgasms. Finally, while this has nothing to do with sexual positions, there are also researches that suggest the importance of the female orgasm in conceiving. According to studies, female orgasm leads to contractions that could push sperm up into the cervix. The lesson: have fun while trying to conceive.

Any tips on getting pregnant?

Me and my love of my life have talked alot about having a baby, and we are ready to take that next step in our relationship, so for the last 2 months we havent been having all that much sex but when we do we just dont use protection, i was on the pill till about end of september, does that make it harder for you to get pregnant after you stop taking the pill? anyways any good tips?


Answer
I believe the first month or so after taking the pill its a little harder because the change of hormones in your body. I would suggest going to http://www.babycenter.com/ovulation-calculator
It's an ovulation calculator and it will show you days that you could most likely get pregnant. Have sex within those days:) I used to use it to try to keep from getting pregnant so keep in mind it isn't always accurate!
You can just get your man to have sex those days and within a few months I bet you will get pregnant. Good luck!

Could I be pregnant 2 weeks after giving birth?




Amber


My husband and I had sex within 2 weeks of giving birth to my son who only lived for one minute. I was not on birth control then but got on it 2 months ago. We want to be pregnant again and part of me thinks I am now. Ive had 2 periods since giving birth. Could I still be pregnant???
For those who think I am not deeply hurt by losing my child you are wrong. I had him at 27 weeks by c-section. He died of a heart defect. Nothing can replace him but my husband and I do want to have a child before he deploy overseas again!
oh and I gave birth to my son in May.



Answer
not sure. You are very firtile after giving birth, because the cervix is still open. periods though,,,
Best of luck..

Pregnant 5 1/2 weeks after giving birth @ 22 weeks?




kelshere


Here is my situation. My daughter was still born on Aug 20th. I was only 22 weeks along. I had a very long labor but the delivery itself was very easy with no complications. She was extremely tiny for how far along I was too. It has been 5 1/2 weeks and I long for a baby so bad. My husband and I started having sex again a few days short of 2 weeks postpartum. We didn't use any sort of protection. I am pretty sure, about 99% sure, I ovulated a little more than 2 weeks ago. I took a pregnancy test middle of last week and it was negative. I was able to get some positive tests this week though along with one negative test. Am I pregnant or could it be the left over pregnancy hormones. I saw my family DR yesterday and asked her and she didn't know the answer. In fact she said that it is rare to get pregnant that soon after giving birth, but I don't think that part is true. I have my postpartum visit next week with my ob and think I am just going to stick it out til than and see if I get my period or if I get another positive test next week. Sorry this is so long. I just want to see what other people think since my family DR didn't seem to know much!
To the person who said I am trying to replace my baby you are so wrong. There is no replacing her, I would rather have her but that is not possible. My OB gave us permission to start trying as soon as we felt comfortable.
My daughter had died a few days before I had her so my dr induced me. He ran tests and could not find anything at all. We may never know why it happened.



Answer
I am not doctor, but your doctor could take a blood test every 2-3 days, and see how the HCG hormones are going. If you are pregnant it should doubled every couple of days. If not, the hormones should go away. It is not fair from your doctor to keep you hangig and say he just don`t know.
