Tips on getting pregnant

Hey! I am a newlywed and would like to get pregnant asap! Any tips on what I can do to help this along?  We have been trying for a few months, but nothing has happened yet.  Thanks!!

Re: Tips on getting pregnant

  • Stop using protection. Have lots of sex.

    Not kidding. Just have fun. It can take a healthy couple with no issues up to a year to conceive.

    If you want to get technical with it, the tutorials on fertilityfriend.com are very helpful.

    Have lots of sex..Focus on your diet, include foods that helps you in getting pregnant. Folic acid intake also increases the chances of getting pregnant.


    Good Luck!!
