			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many different tips and strategies that can help you gain new ideas and improve your knowledge on ways to get pregnant.  This time, we are going to focus on one of them.  Though it is not given that much attention, it can really increase your chances of <a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle" style="color:#002BB8;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='getting pregnant';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">getting pregnant</a>.</p>
<p>Cervical fluid is a very important thing when you are planning to get pregnant.  Throughout your monthly cycle, cervical mucus changes in texture and consistency, and if you want to get pregnant, then you should follow it very closely.</p>
<p>Your cervical mucus is similar to raw egg whites when you are about to ovulate very soon.  This means that you better be timing your intercourse for several days leading up to and including ovulation.  In short, cervical mucus helps you determine the days that you should have intercourse, which will increase your chances of conceiving.</p>
<p>Sperm, on the other hand, can live for a span of time, more likely five to seven days.  Depending on the sperm&#8217;s gender (male or female), it can determine how much days they can live.  Female sperms can live longer than male sperms.  Nevertheless, this means that if you have intercourse for five to six days before you ovulate, you can still get pregnant as long as the sperm is alive and kicking inside you.  You can do that with good quality cervical mucus.  Good quality mucus means sperm friendly mucus.  So how do you create a good quality cervical mucus?</p>
<p>There are several ways which you can improve your cervical mucus.  One is drinking a lot of water.  Drinking at least eight glasses a day can create a cervical mucus that is low in acidity.  Another one is eating a lot of baby carrots.  Carrots have beta carotene or vitamin A, which has been known to improve the amount and quality of your cervical mucus.  You can also take plain Robitussin.  Robitussin works for your cervical mucus just like the way it works for the other mucus in other parts of your body.  This also thins your cervical mucus making it a sperm friendly fluid.  Remember however that plain Robitussin should only be taken (not Robitussin DM).</p>
<p>If you do those things, you should have more than adequate cervical fluid, which should keep those sperms alive for days and eventually get to where the egg lies and get you pregnant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Do sex positions really help you get pregnant?</strong></p>
<p>You may be wondering how sex positions <a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle">increases your chance of getting pregnant</a>.  This has been the topic of many experts actually.  It has long been debated whether or not this really helps.  Though it is believed to really increase the odds of pregnancy, pregnancy related to sex positions is not really proven.</p>
<p>The though behind this is sex positions who are deep penetrating are likely the positions that will get you pregnant.  This is thought because of the body’s anatomy.  When a sperm is deposited inside a vagina through unprotected sex, it will travel a certain distance before it reaches the egg.  The sperm from the vagina travels through the cervix, then into the uterus, and finally to the fallopian tube where the egg is located.  In addition, the sperm can only live for a certain period of time.  It can live for about five to seven days, and within this period, it should get in contact with the egg and fertilize it.</p>
<p>The logic behind this is that, the closer the sperm is deposited to the cervix, then the lesser distance the sperm has to travel, which will lead to <a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle" style="color:#002BB8;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='getting pregnant';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">getting pregnant</a> more quickly.  This also means that it can reach the location of the egg in the five to seven days’ period.</p>
<p>The missionary position is believed to be the deepest penetrating sexual position that can help you get pregnant.  The rear position is also acceptable.  When you use these positions, it can deliver your sperm close to the cervix, and thus, help with pregnancy.  Positions such as woman on top and other shallow penetrating positions should be avoided.</p>
<p>To increase the effectiveness of the position, the woman can lie in bed for about 20 minutes and tilting her hips after her partner’s ejaculation.  This will facilitate the sperm deposition more effectively.  Furthermore, she should avoid douching too much as some substances used for douching can create a hostile environment (vagina) for the sperm, thus, killing them and reducing them in number.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle" style="color:#002BB8;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='how to get pregnant';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">How To Get Pregnant</a> Fast?</h1>
<h2>How to Get Pregnant Fast &#8211; You Can Do It Easily</h2>
<p><a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle" style="color:#002BB8;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='getting pregnant';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">Getting pregnant</a> is easy for others  while some find it very difficult.  If  you want to get pregnant and I mean to really learn <strong><a title="How to get pregnant fast" href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/howtogetpregnantfast" target="_blank"><b>how to get pregnant fast</b></a></strong>, then you have to increase  the odds and maximize your chances of conceiving and ending up with a healthy  pregnancy and a healthy baby.</p>
<h3><a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/howtogetpregnantfast" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px;" src="http://www.mjbovo.com/Contracept/Pill-Use2.gif" alt="How To Get Pregnant Fast"width="218" height="168" /></a>Dump those pills</h3>
<p>The very first thing you need to do  is to dump those pills.  This goes for  other contraceptives such as diaphragms and IUDs.  Once you get your regular menstruation going,  then it’s the right time to move and hop into bed.</p>
<h3>Want to know How to get pregnant fast? Have sex during your  fertile days</h3>
<p>When making love, try to keep it  fun.  <strong>Baby making should be exciting</strong> and  not seen as a chore.  Have sex without  thinking about getting pregnant or not.   This is to lessen the stress you will experience if you are desperate in  having a baby.</p>
<p>In addition, have sex during your  fertile days.  Proper timing is very  important if you want to be successful in making a baby.  Making use of a fertility calendar will help  you out with this.  Methods such as the  cervical mucus and basal body temperature technique also are some of the  advised methods to monitor if you are fertile.</p>
<h3>Deep penetration positions &#8211; Have Sex to get pregnant fast</h3>
<p>Furthermore, once you had sex, try  to use deep penetration positions.  How  do positions help?  Deep penetration  positions such as the missionary position make the transfer of the semen and  the sperm close to the uterus.  Keep in  mind that the lesser the sperm has to travel, then, the quicker it can reach  the egg and fertilize.  Furthermore,  <strong>never hop and run to the bathroom right after you have sex.</strong></p>
<p>Lying down for a few minutes after sex increases  your odds of conceiving. The longer sperm stays in your vagina, then it is  better.  Tilting your hips with a pillow  while lying is also advised. This method helps the sperm reach the egg faster.</p>
<h3><a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/howtogetpregnantfast" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px;" src="http://www.brandonmdennis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/happy_sperm.jpg" alt="How To Get Pregnant Fast"width="193" height="228" /></a>Create a sperm friendly vagina</h3>
<p>In addition to sexual intercourse,  you should have the initiative to create a sperm friendly vagina.  What does this mean?  Your vagina is acidic.  Sperms die in acidic places.  If your vagina is a hostile environment, then  how many sperm will die and how many sperm will live?  Makes sense, isn’t it?</p>
<h3>Start taking folic acids &#8211; Nutrition</h3>
<p>Another thing to focus on to  increase your chance of <a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/howtogetpregnantfast">getting pregnant fast</a> is your nutrition.  If you want to have a baby, then you should  prepare yourself and be healthy.  You should  start taking folic acids.  Folic acids  reduce your chances of having a child with neural defects such as spina bifida.</p>
<p>You should at least take 0.4 mg of  folic acid every day to reduce this risk.   In addition, watch out for the foods you eat.  You should have a healthy and balanced diet  consisting of fruits and vegetables and high fiber foods.  You should avoid sweet foods as you may  develop a condition during pregnancy called gestational diabetes.</p>

<p>Gestational diabetes can increase  your risk of having complications during pregnancy as well as effects with  regards to your baby.  If you are a  coffee drinker, you may also want to switch to decaf.  Caffeine is believed to restrict the growth  of a developing baby as well as constrict blood vessels that reduce the flow of  blood to the uterus.  Caffeine is also  linked to fertility problems.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>“X” that contraception.</strong><br />
“X” that contraception means you forget about taking pills.  Hide and lock those pills in your medicine cabinet or in your drawer and wait for your menstrual cycle to return to normal.  Other women after stopping the contraceptives in their first month are fertile.  This goes for contraceptive patches and rings too.</p>
<p><strong>Eliminate smoking, drinking, and drugs.</strong><br />
In this tip, not only reduction but elimination of smoking, drinking, and taking drugs will have to be taken.  These three lead to miscarriages as well as premature birth weights.  Studies have also shown that smoking decreases sperm count.  Even second hand smoke is not good for you.</p>
<p><strong> Get that folic acid pumped.</strong><br />
This tip tackles the importance of folic acid not only before your pregnancy but also after pregnancy.  Folic acid reduces your chance of having a baby with a neural tube defect.  It helps in rapid cell division and growth during pregnancy.</p>
<p><strong>Decaf that coffee</strong><br />
Are you a coffee drinker?  Better switch to decaf as it is thought to restrict the growth of a developing baby.  It reduces the ability to absorb of iron in the body   It can increase your risk for stillbirth too.  Studies have shown that too much caffeine also contributes to fertility problems.</p>
<p><strong>This is the right time.</strong><br />
Calculating your ovulation cycle contributes to <a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle" style="color:#002BB8;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='getting pregnant';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">getting pregnant</a> more quickly and easily.  Women are most fertile when ovulating.  If you had sex on the wrong days, there’s a little chance that you will get pregnant.  Having sex in the right time which is 5 days before ovulation increases your chances of getting pregnant.  Have sex for two days if you have the stamina for it will ensure that there is a delivery of sperm in the fallopian tube anytime.<br />
<strong>Let’s do this position.</strong><br />
Positioning is everything.  There are 114 million sex acts performed around the world.  The deepest penetration which allows the sperm to be delivered closely to the cervix, thus, the flow of semen to the uterus is faster and closer.  The missionary position is the best according to some studies.  Woman on top is not that effective as it discourages the flow of semen to the uterus.  Lying in bed for about 15-20 minutes may also increase the chance of the egg being fertilized.</p>
<p><strong>Sperm-friendly vagina.</strong><br />
Vaginal sprays, scented tampons, and douching create a hostile environment for the sperm aside from infection.  These things affect your cervical mucus.  Your cervical mucus aids in the transportation of sperm to the egg.  If it’s thick, the sperm will have a hard time swimming towards it’s golden price, the egg.  Thin and slippery mucus makes an increase chance of the egg being fertilized.</p>
<p><strong>Sam the man, you’re the man!</strong><br />
Maybe it’s not you who has the problem, maybe it’s him.  Ask him to check with a medical practitioner for a sperm count.  Having sex in the morning also is better as it is in this time of the day that the man has the highest number of semen.  A healthy diet rich in vitamins and mineral increases your chance of getting pregnant and keeps you fit for conception as well.  Certain foods like milk, fruits and vegetables help increase sperm count.</p>
<p><strong>Mental State</strong><br />
Depression gives rise fertility problems.  If you are stress, there is a lesser likelihood of you having a conception.  It also alters your hormones in the body.  Deep breathing exercises as well as yoga is nice and will help you relieve your stress.  If you’re having or noticed any mental problem, then seeking medical advice is better.<br />
Lose those pounds.</p>
<p>A women with the right and healthy weight is more likely to get pregnant than overweight or underweight women.  Getting yourself at the body mass index (BMI) range of 20-30 is advised before trying.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most frequently asked questions about pregnancy is the <a title="Best Time To Get Pregnant" href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle/" target="_blank"><strong>best time to get pregnant</strong></a>. It is neither the Christmas time nor the Valentine’s Day. One needs to be good in mathematics if one is serious about <a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle" style="color:#002BB8;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='getting pregnant';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">getting pregnant</a> as it totally depends on the ovulating days. Now the question arises that how should one calculate this crucial time? For people who are good in mathematics need not worry but others should get hold of an Ovulation Calculator.<span id="more-22"></span></p>
<p>It is important to have some knowledge about one’s own body and its functioning in order to find out the probable dates of ovulation. The ‘post ovulation time’ or the ‘Luteal Phase’ is the period between ovulation and the first day of the menstrual cycle. This period consists of fourteen days and is the same for most women. After fourteen days of the ovulation the period starts. Now what one needs to know is the date due for the next period. By counting back twelve to sixteen days from this date, one is likely to get the days of ovulation. Generally, women who have a cycle of twenty eight days, ovulate on the fourteenth day. Since this is so important to know in order to get pregnant, the ovulation date can also be checked through the BBT technique or the Basal Body Temperature. This is a method that involves the recording of vaginal temperature every morning by a BBT thermometer (with a fine calibration). The thermometer displays a higher temperature on the day of ovulation that the other days.</p>
<p>To explain this fact in a simpler way, the egg starts developing from the end of the menstrual cycle and between the 8th to 12th days it is at its maximum. So the chance to get pregnant is the most if one has intercourse on the 8th, the 10th and the 12th day. This is the most effective time to get pregnant. One shocking fact related to getting pregnant is that the egg lives only for a period of 12 to 16 hours in a cycle! Many gynecologists are of the opinion that the life span of the egg ranges from 12 to 24 hours. But the fertility experts say that it is likely to wither away within 15 to 16 hours. So it is important to hit it at the correct time!</p>
<p>Now its time to shift the focus from the Woman to the Man!  If a couple has intercourse on regular basis, it is likely that the strength of the sperms may lack the desired force and the sperm count may also be less than it is required for the fertility level. In addition, the rate of sperm motility may also be hampered. Again, if the sexual union is not so frequent, there are chances that the sperms may become stale and old, making it lack its desired vitality. According to the opinion of the fertility experts, coitus should take place twice weekly for the best result.</p>
<p>It is surprising that tough the female ovum dies within such a short period, the male sperm survives and moves about from 2 to 5 days within the vaginal canal. Keeping this fact in mind, it may be fruitful to have intercourse a couple of days earlier than the date of ovulation, so that the sperm gets plenty of opportunities to hit the egg.</p>
<p>It is important here to point out that following all the above mentioned guidelines may not be enough for getting pregnant. For further assistance, one may turn to holistic remedies that helps find out the actual cause of a problem if there is any and then suggests a remedy that is accurate. These remedies are of a wide range that includes Chinese medications to acupuncture, from exercise to helpful herbs, from lifestyle changes to a healthy and balances diet. Unlike the age-old, conventional therapies which mostly fail, the holistic remedies almost always give the desired results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever considered what the primary <a title="Signs of Infertility" href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle/"><strong>signs of infertility</strong></a> in a human being are? We should be aware of the indications of infertility and that too, as early as possible. <a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle" style="color:#002BB8;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='signs of infertility';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">Signs of infertility</a> can become apparent in several ways, including instinctive and cultural factors, irregular behavior of individuals while having a sexual union, malnutrition, a depressed mental condition, endocrinology factors, and the current health condition of persons. The overall general lifestyle, emotional quotients, financial issues as well as time represent pointers to infertility as well. In this context, it is important to distinguish between infertility and impotency. The factors mentioned above can result in infertility in a man or a lady, in case any of the former stops working normally.<span id="more-19"></span></p>
<p>In cases where a male has full potency, his female partner can become pregnant during the menstruation cycle of the latter. However, not many are aware that men too have hormonal cycles. What’s more, while the cycle of ladies cover a 28-day period, a fixed tab cannot be put on the male cycle. Researches show that the quality of the male sperm can go down, not at all matching with his hormone cycle, although he can release sperms whenever he wishes to do so. The lower sperm quality, in turn, has a negative impact on a man’s fertility, and can diminish his ability to impregnate. Signs of infertility, in both men and women, can become more apparent with advancement of their age.</p>
<p>Discourses on the many signs of infertility can often be confusing. Here, we would be discussing these issues in a clearer manner. Fertility of humans is not our focus here. In females, the single most important sign of her being infertile is an irregular pattern of her periods. However, it has to be kept in mind that, while irregular menstrual cycles do indicate infertility, they can also act as signs of other health hazards.</p>
<p>If a lady does not have the ideally correct body weight, her fertility is likely to go down. Infertility can be a problem faced by both overweight as well as grossly underweight women. The fetus needs to be nursed properly during pregnancy. If the hip region of a woman is too narrow, this task becomes difficult, and her ability to conceive babies suffers. The balance of hormones can also receive a jolt in case a proper nutrition-rich diet is not adopted. Obesity can also stand in the way of maintenance of the correct hormone balance. As a result, their ability to reproduce can suffer. If a lady is in the habit of drinking too much, she can also become infertile, for a considerable length of time too. Thus, in order to maintain her fertility, alcohol-consumption needs to be eliminated totally. However, this infertility has nothing to do with the barrenness of a lady.</p>
<p>Doctors point out several other common <strong><a title="Signs of Infertility" href="../recommends/pregnancymiracle/"><strong>signs of infertility</strong></a></strong>. For example, if the ovary of a lady is twisted, conceiving a baby becomes very tough for her. For women to become pregnant, the male sperm has to travel through her body and enter her ovary. In case the female ovary is positioned at a wrong position, this procedure is not possible. As a result, for all practical purposes, the lady becomes infertile. Any cysts that are present in the ovary can also prevent a woman from <a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle" style="color:#002BB8;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='getting pregnant';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">getting pregnant</a>.</p>
<p>On the other hand, guessing which man is infertile is tricky. While a rather weak-looking guy can become a parent whenever he has an intercourse with a lady, an apparently strong, tough person can have an unfavorable rate of mortality and/or a low sperm count. However, in general, the level of fertility goes down as a man becomes more and more obese. Problems in the general health of males and/or his anatomy can also bring down his virility. Fertility falls with the advancing years too.</p>
<p>Andropause (or, the process of menopause in males) results in easy detection of the signs of infertility. The indications of infertility in men include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Losing hair on a regular basis,</li>
<li>Gaining too much fat in the abdominal parts, and an increase in general body weight,</li>
<li>Wrinkles and dryness of the skin,</li>
<li>A fall in the male libido levels,</li>
<li>Excess stress,</li>
<li>Problems in having an erection,</li>
<li>Too much sweat as well as hot flushes,</li>
<li>A disturbed and nervous state of mind, with constant bouts of anxiety,</li>
<li>An feeling of unwillingness and a marked lack of motivation, and</li>
<li>A depressed mental state.</li>
</ul>
<p>Fortunately, these signs of infertility can be eliminated if holistic methods of treatment are adopted. Unlike other conventional treatment methods, holistic approaches aim to detect the actual causes of the problem, and then suggest remedies accordingly. And these treatments also do not have any adverse side effects. Holistic methods recommend extensive usage of Chinese medicines, herbs and acupuncture. Proper exercises as well as a balanced diet are also prescribed. It has indeed been proven that holistic methods have a much higher success rate in helping people recover their fertility, than other conventional techniques.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana,Courier New,Courier,mono;">Both men and women suffer                                  from <a title=" Infertility" href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle/" target="_blank"><strong>infertility</strong></a> caused by various reasons. However, it’s important for both the sex to undergo treatment for this complicated issue. Various known and unknown factors cause infertility in women. These include diseases like endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, ovulation disorders, and low progesterone level. Low sperm count and low sperm motility, STD, injury or chronic diseases, sperm blockage and ageing are some of the reasons men for, which suffer. <span id="more-4"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana,Courier New,Courier,mono;"> Scheduled drugs and systematic treatment can cure most of the above mentioned infertility problems except ageing and chronic diseases, although these treatments are quite expensive and may have harmful side effects. Additional treatment may be required to cure the side effects. Treatments conducted through IVF or In Vitro Fertilization and ICSI or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is best among the other methods of <a href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle" style="color:#002BB8;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='infertility treatment';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">infertility treatment</a>. In this technique, the egg cells outside the womb are fertilized by the sperm and then transferred inside. This treatment is suggested when other techniques fail to give results. This technique is a hormonally controlled ovulation progression. In this treatment involves, the ova is removed from the female’s ovaries and helps the sperm to fertilize in a fluid medium. But this is not a normal process at all and involves excavation of the eggs from the ovary, fertilizing them in an outside laboratory and putting them back in the uterus. In the normal process, the human decides to pick the healthiest sperm for reproducing the egg but in the artificial process, the embryologist takes this decision. However, when he fails to pick the healthiest sperm and egg, it may cause the ill health of the child during birth and even later in life. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana,Courier New,Courier,mono;"> Some alternative techniques with a holistic approach are fast becoming popular in order to cure the problem of secondary infertility. These techniques are all the more preferred by people as these have less or no side effects at all. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana,Courier New,Courier,mono;"> The acupuncture method, for example, especially ear acupuncture or Auricular is very effective in cases where female infertility has been caused by some kind of malfunction of the ovary. The hormonal message that is transferred from brain to ovary is the most beneficial result received from this technique. In accordance to the investigative trials, those women who have received acupuncture treatment for about 30 times within a time period of 3 months have shown good results. Those female who underwent <a title="hormonal therapy" href="http://wellpregnant.com/recommends/pregnancymiracle/" target="_blank"><strong>hormonal                                  therapy</strong></a> along with it suffered from side                                  effects. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana,Courier New,Courier,mono;"> In the alternative treatment techniques, diet and lifestyle changes are given a lot of importance. Regular intake of such things that contain caffeine like coffee, chocolate, cocoa, green tea (containing caffeine), black tea and colored soft drinks which has harmful effects on conception is discouraged. According to a study, one and a half cup of coffee for a woman who is trying for pregnancy is sure to delay her conception. Thus coffee is a strictly a no-no for patients suffering from infertility. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana,Courier New,Courier,mono;"> Diets that include fish contaminated with PCB or Polychlorinated Biphenyls are also believed to be a cause for substantial reduction in the ability to become pregnant. According to one study, women who had more than one meal containing fish contaminated with PCBs (procured from Lake Ontario), developed reduced fecundity within a month. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana,Courier New,Courier,mono;"> The best result for the treatment of infertility has been reported through the Chinese medicines, acupuncture and of course, the holistic approach. The holistic approach reaches to the depth of the problem and only then delivers physical, spiritual as well as emotional treatment, rather than only investigating the organs. On the other side, the conventional approach to the problem of infertility fails to successfully detect and remove the real causes and moreover, causes side effects. The holistic approach suggests a natural remedy and a way of life that can really solve the problem as soon as the real cause is determined.   <strong><br />
