It seems that infertility is becoming more and more of an issue more recently.  There are millions of women suffering from infertility for any number of reasons.  Infertility is such a hard thing to be going through when you and your partner have decided to have a baby, and that is all you want to do, is to get pregnant.  There are a few tips to be aware of when you are trying to get pregnant; the first is to be healthy.  When you are healthy, your reproductive system is healthy, and that makes it quite a bit easier to get pregnant.  The second is to not stress over getting pregnant.

I know that sounds a lot easier said than done, when every month, we hope that we miss our menstrual cycle, and every month that you get it, you get more and more disappointed that you get it.  Exercise or yoga is a great way to de-stress, and is also healthy for you as well.

The biggest tip of all is to try and get pregnant when you are ovulating, when the egg is fully exposed from to ovary in order to get fertilized.  That is the best chance to get pregnant.  Yes, you can get pregnant other times, however it is much, much harder when you are not ovulating.  There are two different ways that you can check to see if you are ovulating.  Over the counter ovulation test kits are a great way to go if you are really serious about getting pregnant.

They are not too bad in price, a little more than a pregnancy test, and with the use of the kit it tests your hormone levels and is able to predict when you will be ovulating whether it be a couple days to several days away.

Another great way to check if you are ovulating is by checking your mucous discharge.  Purchasing test strips would make it easiest, but it is possible to do it without the strips.  Typically the vaginal mucous is thick and sticky, however when you ovulate, the mucous changes to an egg-white texture and slippery.

Remember to have fun trying to get pregnant, and try not to worry about it too much, that will most likely slow the process up if you are stressed or worried about getting pregnant
