I know the whole ovulation thing, but is there any other ways to improve your chances of getting pregnant?

taking fertility drugs maximizes your chances of getting pregnant but it might lead to you getting more than one child (like twins, triplets +etc) also try having sex once your period finished that might help aswell

Yikes. I've never heard about this pregnancy pill that helps a normally-functioning woman get pregnant. There is provera, which will correct a hormonal imbalance and start your periods if you're not having them, and there are hormone shots you can get to prepare your uterus for fertilization. You can take Clomid to cause your ovaries to ripen and release eggs, but these options are for people who see the doctor for intertility. When I worked for physicians, we would refer to a fertility specialist if a couple had been actively trying to conceive and had not become pregnant despite intercourse during twelve consecutive months of trying.

Other things are 1) Take a prenatal vitamin before you start trying 2) Get adequate nutrition and rest - no alcohol 3) Make sure that any other pelvic issues (such as possibly genital herpes) are taken care of and in remission and everything is healthy 4) When having intercourse, for the man's ejaculation, try lying with the woman's hips up on a pillow and her abdomen lower. This will tilt her uterus so that the semen has the extra help of gravity to get inside her cervix. 5) Try aggressively, meaning A LOT, during your most fertile times, right around ovulation. If you don't know when your ovulation occurrs, you can use either ovulation predictor tests available at the grocery store or the rhythm method with a basal thermometer. 6) It has also been shown that a man produces more semen in ejaculation if he has not ejaculated for 24 hours prior to the intercourse, so ask him not to "save it up" for your best time.

I hope it helps!

Allowing sperm to enter your body the 1rst and 2nd week after your period. my husband and i have 6 kids, trust me i know..... if this will be your first one, it is harder because of how small the opening to your cervix is before child birth.
