These helpful tips can help you discover when you're ovulating and make your body more friendly to sperm and conception:
1. Chart
Charting your cycle is a great way to get an idea of your fertility. In fact, it's often the best way to get pregnant fast.
You'll pinpoint your ovulation by charting. This allows you time intercourse for exactly when you're going to be ovulating (and the days around that). You'll know for sure that you're trying to conceive on the right days.
In fact, charting your cycles can help you to figure out what your issues may be - right in the comfort of your own home. You'll be able to find out if you're actually ovulating or not. You can see if you have a luteal phase defect (something that can usually be corrected at home!)
Charting is invaluable to getting pregnant quickly. It's easy to learn the basics and get started right away - no matter where you're at in your cycle now.
2. Know What Fertility Testing Can be Done at Home
As I mentioned above, you can often figure out why you're not conceiving at home. Your charting is the first place to start.
The second thing to look at is at-home fertility tests. Today these tests are just as easy to use as pregnancy tests are (and more importantly, can help you get to where you need that pregnancy test!)
There are several types of strips you can use:
FSH test strips: These test for Follicle Stimulating Hormone and can help you determine the quality and supply of your eggs.
LH test strips: These test for Luteinizing Hormone and can help you determine when yu're about to ovulate. Using these strips to determine when ovulation is about to occur (they predict ovulation within around 24-48 hours) is one of best ways to get pregnant quickly.
Fertility Monitors: These monitors use LH in tandem with Estradiol (Estrogen) to predict when you're about to ovulate. Monitors are more expensive than other tests but can still be used in the comfort of you own home. They also give you a lot more "advance warning" and overall picture of your cycle than simple test kits.
Sperm Quality: There are at-home sperm quality tests on the market. They may not be quite as accurate as the lab results from the doctor, but the technology is always improving. If the thought of going to the doctor doesn't appeal to your man, an at-home test could be a good choice. They're often bundled with female test kits, giving you information on both partners.
3. Use a Sperm Friendly Lubricant
Sperm need a friendly, nourishing environment to get to the egg quickly. This is usually provided by your cervical mucus. But if your mucus pattern is confusing, or if you don't have a lot, consider using a lubricant.
It's important not to pick just any lubricant - you need a sperm safe one. Most lubricants actually harm sperm. There are formulations on the market now that are not just safe, they're actually good for sperm.
These lubricants have a proven track record for assisting in conception, and in helping women conceive faster, so consider using one.
With these three hints you'll be able to enhance your chances of getting pregnant - and enhance your chances of conceiving quickly.

Top-level comments on this article: (5 total)All I had to do was to fold my pants at the end of the bedposts!When I was younger I could get a woman pregnant just by LOOKING at her!I've always said all I have to do is wash my clothes with a guys ;) But not everybody has it so easy.This article stunned me as I always thought that NOT getting pregnant was a goal!I could not believe that sex actually led to babies and I am still adjusting to that unbelieveable most incredible realization.I always recollect that cartoon of a caveman and his cavewoman in a cave positively surrounded with dozens of cavebabies and the caption read; "How do we STOP it if we don't know what CAUSES it?!"Thank you for a remarkable (almost very sexy) article; Paul

I'm sure they wish it was, especially since they end up feeling like they wasted tons of money on birth control!well, my daughter was a BCP baby...trust me, I MADE SURE my now ex-wife took her "pill" every night...but you're right...it's not that easy for some families
