If you're trying to get pregnant but it isn't happening, you may start asking yourself, “What am I doing wrong?”
Your period comes regularly.
You track your ovulation.
You have in*******se around your fertile days.
But still, no pregnancy.
It can be frustrating. But remember, ovulation is only one part of getting pregnant.
Here are 4 things to consider:
1. Get the timing right
Your fertile window lasts several days. You don't have to wait for the exact day of ovulation. Having in*******se during the days leading up to ovulation can give you a better chance of pregnancy.
2. Don't forget about sp3rm
Getting pregnant involves both partners. Sp3rm count, movement, and quality can all affect fertility. So fertility problems shouldn't automatically be assumed to be a woman's problem.
3. Look after your health
A balanced diet, regular physical activity, enough sleep, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol can support reproductive health.
4. Know when to get help
If you're under 35 and have been trying for 12 months without pregnancy, consider a fertility evaluation. If you're 35 or older, seek advice after about 6 months of trying.
If you're ovulating but pregnancy still hasn't happened, don't blame yourself.
There may be other factors involved, and getting the right evaluation can help you understand what's going on.
How long have you been trying to conceive?
