If you are trying to get pregnant but haven't been able to do so this far, perhaps you should try a couple of techniques to improve your chances. One of the biggest factors in getting pregnant is the time of the month you try to conceive. A woman's ovulation cycle varies from individual to individual, knowing your cycle and what point in the cycle you are the most fertile can be a big help when you are trying to get pregnant. Contrary to popular belief, you can not get pregnant during any part of your cycle. You must be inseminated at least 2-3 days before ovulating in order to get pregnant. So how do you know when you will ovulate? Some women have a cycle that runs like clockwork and know exactly when they are ovulating, and others may not.

There are kits that will help in the prediction of your ovulation cycle, fertility specialists you can consult with, and various other methods. It is possible to get pregnant up to six days before your ovulation cycle, so having sex for six days prior will greatly increase your chances of conceiving. The level of fertility each woman has is also a big factor. Some women may not be fertile at all, while others may be so fertile it is pretty much a sure thing if they have unprotected sex at the right point in their cycle. Their are certain types of drugs available for women who do not have a high level of fertility. A couple of the most popular ones, gonadotropins and clomiphene, are prescribed to over a hundred thousand women each year for this purpose.

Something to be aware when taking these kind of drugs, is that it increases your chances of having a multiple birth. Approximately ten percent of women taking either drug will have twins, and a slightly lower possibility of having triplets, or even more than that in rare cases. This is great for women who would like to have a multiple birth, but there are drawbacks to having multiples. When you are carrying more than one baby the odds of a premature birth or miscarriage is more likely than when carrying a single baby, so it is important to take these facts into consideration when considering the aid of these drugs. If you have been trying to get pregnant using the above methods and you still can not get pregnant, there is always in-vitro fertilization. This may be a little expensive, but it is an extremely effective method when all else fails.
