This document provides information on how to get pregnant naturally without medical intervention. It discusses understanding a woman's menstrual cycle and ovulation to have sex on the most fertile days between days 12-15 of the cycle. Signs of ovulation like changes in vaginal discharge or cervical position can help determine the fertile window. Adopting a holistic approach through a healthy diet, exercise, stress reduction and addressing lifestyle factors like smoking or drinking can also help increase chances of conceiving naturally. Both partners should ensure sperm quality through factors like wearing loose-fitting underwear.

1. How to get pregnant naturally
Infertility may be broadly defined as the inability to get preg-
nant after trying for at least one year without using any birth
control. In Western countries, infertility affects an estimated
15% of the population. While a part of them are trying to
conceive using alternative methods like IVF, others prefer to
optimize the chances of getting pregnant naturally. Trying to
get pregnant naturally may be very important, since many
couples and individuals who are diagnosed with infertility
may be able to get pregnant without treatment (and hence
should be defined as "subfertile" rather than "infertile").
When trying to get pregnant naturally, the most important
factor is to understand the menstrual cycle and the timing of
ovulation, which leads to the optimum chances of getting im-
pregnated. Usually, ovulation occurs around the fourteenth

2. day, and hence, to get pregnant naturally, a couple should
have as much sexual intercourse as possible between the
twelfth and the fifteenth day. Different women have slightly
varying menstrual cycles.Hence, to improve the chances of
becoming pregnant, it is imperative to study one's periods,
and calculate exactly when one ovulates.
Determining the signs of ovulation.

3. To check for the right timings of ovulation, a woman can do
one, or many, of the following things:
. Keep a calendar. Keeping a calendar to chart the days is an
easy and effective method to determine the right time to
have sexual intercourse.
. Keep a check on vaginal fluids. Mucus discharge from the
vagina usually becomes heavier, thinner, clearer and stretchy
during ovulation when compared to the usual times.
. Feel the inside of the vagina. During ovulation, the cervix is
softer and slightly more open than usual.
. Keep tabs on any sharp pain in the abdomen. Sharp pains
in the abdomen, or some slight spotting, may be indicative of
ovulation.
. Other physical conditions. Headaches, bloating, breast ten-
derness and pain may be signs of ovulation.

4. Having checked for ovulation, there are some other things
that an individual can do to increase the chances of getting
pregnant naturally. These include lying still for a while after
having sexual intercourse, avoiding the bathroom for about
thirty minutes after having sexual intercourse, and most im-
portantly, figuring out how many times one should have sex-
ual intercourse.
Men often neglect their own part to play in this whole scenar-
io. The sperms need to be of the correct constitution, correct
shape and correct motility too, or else, however fertile the
women may be, impregnation does not occur naturally. A
way of ensuring that the sperms are undamaged is by wear-
ing boxers instead of briefs. Boxers help in keeping the tes-
ticles from overheating and damaging sperms.
For both women and men, the anatomical and hormonal fac-
tors are not the only ones to be monitored and corrected. In
most cases, failure to conceive may result from an improper
diet, undue stress, the use of drugs like alcohol and nicotine,
and even environmental factors such as proximity to harmful
doses of pesticides. Abstinence from such factors goes a long
way in ensuring a pregnancy.
One should always keep in mind that the holistic approach to
solving a problem is the optimal way to tackle infertility. Get-
ting regular health checkups, taking supplements to combat
existing problem, exercising and stress reduction techniques
are only part of the holistic solution to infertility which con-
siders the problem as part of a whole unlike the conventional
approach which tackles a specific body organ in its attempt
to heal. The holistic approach is not only a surefire way to in-

and healthy pregnancy.
