video is going to share my top tips for getting pregnant faster. If you're new
to my channel, hello and welcome, my name is Anja and my channel is here to support you
on your motherhood journey. If you like this video and find it helpful I hope that you'll
subscribe and follow along with me because I bring out a new video every single Tuesday :)
In order to get pregnant faster you first have to set the foundations for a healthy pregnancy and
a fertile womb. It's always a good idea to book a pre-conception check-up with your healthcare
provider. They will do a thorough check of your physical and emotional health giving
you guidance as to what you can specifically do to optimize your chances of conceiving. They'll
cover things like your lifestyle and diet, your vaccination history, any medications that you
might be taking, any allergies that you might have plus your gynaecological history to highlight or
rule out any issues which could make conceiving a baby more challenging for you if not addressed.
Next, it's important to kick any bad habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol or taking
drugs because all of these things create toxicity in the body and can make getting
pregnant more difficult. So, as soon as possible, cleanse your body of any unhealthy substances.
In addition, it's a good idea to have some sort of exercise regime and to maintain a
healthy weight - with a BMI or body mass index that falls within the normal and healthy range.
Now I'm not saying that if you have a high BMI that you can't get pregnant. What I am saying is
that if you're a larger lady, with a higher BMI, it can make getting pregnant more challenging because
of an Estrogen imbalance in your body linked to more fat cells. You don't have to be really
skinny or thin to conceive a baby. Often women who are thin and skinny find it difficult to conceive
as well because they have various health issues to deal with. What I am saying is that it can make
it easier for you to get pregnant if you lose a little bit of weight. So please make sure that
you speak to your health care provider about this and ask them what their recommendation is for you
personally. When it comes to exercise, you don't have to do anything strenuous. It can be as simple
as you going for a 20-minute walk every day and cutting down on unsaturated fats and high-sugar foods.
It's also a good idea to take a pre-pregnancy supplement to give your body all of the vitamins
and nutrients that it needs to conceive a healthy baby. It's recommended that you start
to take a supplement one month before trying to conceive a baby. I recommend Her9 Duo
Capsules because you can take this supplement pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy and postnatally.
I'm a massive fan of this brand and if you want to find out more about Her9, click the link

The next thing you need to be aware of is when you ovulate as this will
increase the chances of your partner's sperm reaching and fertilizing one of your eggs.
The easiest way to track when you're ovulating is to use an ovulation predictor kit. This tests
your hormone levels and tells you when you're about to ovulate. I'll link the ovulation kit
that I recommend in the video description box below so you can check it out later.
Once you know when you're about to ovulate this is known as your fertile window and it's three
to five days before you ovulate plus the day that you release an egg. It's best to have
sex within this time frame because it's going to significantly increase your chances of conceiving.
Healthy sperm is also important when trying to get pregnant so there are things that your
partner can do to optimize his fertility such as avoiding smoking and taking drugs,
avoiding drinking too much alcohol, exercising regularly, getting plenty of sleep and making
sure that he eats a well-balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables. Also a diet
with enough zinc, folate and vitamin C can help produce strong and plentiful sperm.
Foods high in zinc include pumpkin and sesame seeds, wild rice and red meat.
Foods high in folate are lentils, asparagus, spinach, broccoli, avocados and mangoes.
Foods high in vitamin C include strawberries, oranges, kiwis, blueberries and tomatoes.
Now you might be wondering if there are any sex positions that are going to help you to
get pregnant faster but there's no research to suggest that any sexual positions are going to
help you to conceive a baby more quickly. However, it is advisable to lay still after
sex and even put your legs up against a wall because this is going to keep sperm inside
your body for longer and optimize the chances of sperm reaching an egg and fertilizing it.
It's recommended that you lay still for at least 15 minutes after having
sex to ensure that you're optimizing the chances of conceiving your baby.
No one can say exactly how long it's going to take you to get pregnant because lots of
factors come into play. It may take more time if you're over the age of 35, you have an unhealthy
lifestyle, you're very stressed in your daily life or you have a health condition that could
affect your fertility. However stay positive :) because about 85 percent of women worldwide
conceive a baby within one year of trying. If you're younger than 35 and haven't got
pregnant after a year of trying - you may want to see a fertility specialist. If
you're over 35 talk to a specialist if you've been trying for six months without success.

educational and wishing you all the very best on your conception journey. See you again soon :)
