It's very nice when women and men decide together that it's time to have a child. From then on, it is normal for the couple to start taking all possible steps to make this dream come true.
Of course, doesn't the woman become pregnant? And in some cases, the big challenge is precisely controlling anxiety during this "waiting time." Because of this, many couples end up researching measures that can be taken to make pregnancy happen faster. But are there really ways to do it?
Alessandra Bedin, a gynecologist at Israeli Albert Einstein Hospital, explains that the chance of pregnancy for a perfectly normal couple is approximately 20% each month. There are some steps that can be taken by women so that she can get pregnant soon, but it is worth noting that they do not offer a 100% guarantee, of course. However, do not get up immediately after intercourse; do not bathe afterwards; Putting a pillow under the pelvis to keep it slightly elevated are some "tips", highlights.
The gynecologist adds that keeping the gynecological routine up to date; follow a good diet that contains, among other nutrients, vitamins (folic acid) or bet on supplementation to boost folic acid; stop smoking; adjust to the physician the use of prohibited medications; Stopping the use of illicit drugs and alcohol are also key measures.
In an attempt to have a baby, many women still have the help of the so-called "little table to get pregnant". This fertility chart serves as a calculator for ovulation, as it indicates when a woman is ovulating and is therefore more likely to become pregnant.
But it is true that this subject is still quite confusing for some women. This is exactly why you can find below information about the table for pregnancy and more guidance from gynecologist Alessandra Bedin.
What is the little table to get pregnant?
Alessandra Bedin explains that the table for getting pregnant is really effective. "But the relationship can not be restricted to the fertile period, since it is very bad for the couple, besides risking a slight variation in the cycle and end up ovulating outside the" correct "days," he says.
The gynecologist points out that if the woman has very regular cycles, there is a small rule to set the table. • You need to take 3 cycles and average duration (example: 28-29-30 days; average 29 days). Subtract 14 from this average (in case 15). This is the day of probable ovulation. Since there is a small normal variation, the fertile period is 4 days before until 4 days later (in this case, between the 11th and 19th days), always from the first day of menstruation ?, explains. Check out the example in the table:
As you can see, if your cycle is regular, setting up the table is quite simple! But it is worth mentioning that it is interesting to always talk to your gynecologist as soon as you decide to get pregnant, so that he / she gives all necessary guidance on the subject. We provide a Microsoft Word file so you can print and fill out your own little table at home.

Can anxiety get in the way?
As already mentioned, it is often difficult for couples (and especially for women) to avoid / control the anxiety that usually arises due to the desire to become pregnant.
However, it must be understood that such anxiety can be very disruptive to a woman's attempt to conceive. • Who regulates the menstrual cycle is a brain area called the hypothalamus. It is he who sends the information to the pituitary gland, which regulates the ovaries for ovulation. But the hypothalamus also relates to the limbic system, which is exactly the origin and control of emotions. In other words, it has unregulated emotion, it has not stimulated ovulation stimulus and, without adequate ovulation, the woman does not get pregnant ?, highlights Alessandra Bedin.
Thus, the tip is: some steps can be taken by the couple so that the attempt to get pregnant "soon works". Of course, it is critical that women always talk to their gynecologist about all possibilities and also try their best to control their emotions, not wanting to "rush things" so that everything goes as smoothly as possible.
