If youre trying to get pregnant, there are some things you can do after sex to increase your chances of conceiving. Here are some tips from the search results:
-
Stay in bed: Lying in bed for 10 to 15 minutes after intercourse can help increase your chances of getting pregnant. You don't need to put your feet in the air, but you can lie on your back to keep sperm moving in the right direction.
-
Use a fertility-friendly lubricant: Some lubricants can make conception more difficult, so use a fertility-friendly lubricant to help sperm reach their destination.
-
Maintain a healthy weight: Being overweight or underweight can increase the risk of ovulation disorders, so maintain a normal weight to maximize fertility.
-
Don't smoke: Tobacco has negative effects on fertility, so quit smoking to improve your chances of getting pregnant.
-
Track your cycle: Understanding your menstrual cycle and pinpointing your most fertile days can help you time your baby-making sessions.
-
Have sex regularly: The highest pregnancy rates occur in couples who have sex every day or every other day.
-
Have sex near the time of ovulation: If having sex every day isn't possible, have sex every 2 to 3 days a week starting soon after the end of your period to ensure that you have sex when you are most fertile.
