If you know what it feels like to be frustrated over getting pregnant then let this article guide in overcoming this difficulty. Many women out there experience the same thing as you have and that is why you shouldn’t fear that you are alone. So let this article help you in making the best decisions in your journey towards pregnancy.

I know how it feels because I had a difficult time getting pregnant as well and it was such a memorable experience. I now want to share these tips that I was able to learn during the course of my pre-pregnancy struggles. I know that these methods can be of great help especially to women who feel lost and don’t who don’t know what step to take next.

It’s just Mind over Matter

Always remember that the power of the mind is a force to be reckoned with and it can also help out a lot in developing the mindset of couples on their way to pregnancy. Negative thoughts can cause a lot of stress and in effect this can damage the chances of pregnancy right away. Just stay positive and keep away from thoughts that could make you paranoid and stress you out. I learned that the kind of damage that stress can bring can come from instances that egg cells and the rest of the reproductive system can falter because of stress.

If you’ve found this article, I have to assume that you’re trying to conceive a baby boy. You probably also know that there are many variables that will greatly increase your chances of doing so. One of these is conceiving during a specific time in your fertility cycle, which I’ll discuss in this article. I’ll also discuss some other variables you need to consider when wanting to conceive a boy.

Understand That Boy Sperm Are Faster, But Also Weaker: A man’s sperm contains chromosomes that, after it fertilizes a woman’s egg, will either produce a male (Y chromosomes) or a female (X chromosomes) baby. The boy containing sperm are quicker than their girl counterparts, but to balance out nature, they are also weaker. This means that will all things being equal, the boy sperm would likely get to the egg first, but there are often other factors (such as a hostile vaginal environment) that will make this harder to achieve.

For A Boy, You Should Conceive As Close To Ovulation As Possible: Since the boy sperm are weaker, they can not wait around for the egg for very long before they begin to weaken or die off.

When most couples try to conceive, they’ll pinpoint a “fertility window” and will try to have intercourse on or around those days as often as possible hoping that they get lucky and are successful. While this method works well if you want to have a baby girl, it can be a mistake if you want a boy. Using this “shoot until you hit” method will likely fill the reproductive tract full of X chromosome containing sperm (girl) which are strong enough to wait for the egg.

Instead, you need to limit your attempts to conceive to the day of ovulation. Doing so will allow many more fast, strong, viable boy sperm a weighted chance. If you’re too early, you give the girl sperm the chance to hang out and wait.

Obviously, you need to predict and pinpoint your ovulation day with razor sharp accuracy. Although there are many ways to do this, (basal temperature, cervical mucus) most leave too much room for error. I highly recommend using saliva ovulation predictors as they are highly accurate, reusable, and can show changes by the hour. Read More
