Have you been trying to conceive for a while, but couldn’t?

No worries!

Every human being is different in terms of health, age, and lifestyle. So time to get pregnant will vary from person to person.

How Frequently You Have Sex

Women ovulate once in a month. And if you have sex immediately after ovulation, that gives you the best chance of conceiving. But timing this is very difficult, if not impossible.

On the other hand, since sperm can survive for up to 72 hours once it is inside your body, you should have sex 2 to 3 times a week to maximize your chances of getting pregnant.

When To Consult Infertility Specialists

If you’re below 30 years of age, and have no known health related issues, you should continue to try to conceive until you succeed. However, if you do not see success after one year of trying, it is time to consult an infertility specialist.

Specialists can diagnose issues and may recommend ways to overcome the challenge. In most cases, the success rate is impressive.
