Faster Conception Tip 1: De-Stress & Relax

If you are trying to get pregnant, you may find that it’s not easy as you had hoped. It’s very rare for couples to conceive on the first attempt. As a matter of fact, even for young couples in good health, it is not uncommon for it to take up to a year to conceive naturally.

It’s difficult to say exactly how long it will take to get pregnant. However, these general statistics may give you an idea of how long it will take. Normally fertile couples have a 20 to 30 per cent chance of getting pregnant each cycle. About 84 per cent of couples in the general population will conceive within one year if they have unprotected, regular sex, and half of the remainder will conceive naturally within the following year, if they keep trying. This means that while some couples will get pregnant in the first month of trying, for other couples it may take at a couple of years before they conceive. Even then, some healthy couples can take even longer to get pregnant.

There are things you can do to increase your chances of conceiving. Here is our first (of many) tips:

Relax!
The first and foremost tip is to relax. This is very important since you have your hopes riding high, and sometimes trying to get pregnant could take time. Studies have also shown that any kind of stress could trouble the fertility situation in both women and men. It is important to lower any sort of stress levels. In order to do that, try to join support groups that deal with such issues, and even issues regarding fertility. Negative ideas and thoughts such as not being able to have a baby should completely be wiped from your mind. The best techniques here could be deep breathing and yoga which could be a stress buster, this should, however be practiced every day.

While it may seem improbable, stress is a crucial factor that stops you from getting pregnant. Your body and mind need to feel relaxed at all times so make sure you have a positive attitude and always get a good night’s sleep.

Don’t get stressed out. One major mistake most couples do when trying for a baby is that they get all too worked up. This is wrong because being stressed prevents the body to work properly, thus, giving you a hard time in conception.

Some ways to de-stress:
Find a quiet place where you can enjoy some peaceful down time
Practice slow, deep breathing techniques or meditation
If you can, get away for a short break with your partner
Indulge yourself and get a massage
Talk to a close friend or relative, get everything off of your mind
Try some light exercise, like an evening walk
Use you go-to method of relaxing.

So if you are feeling tightly wound, find a way to de-stress and try to enjoy the ride (wink, wink) – relax because you being stressed is not helping.
