Get Pregnant in 90 Days or Less

How to get pregnant using the latest and greatest in fertility research with items you can find at your local pharmacy. This article takes you through days 1-28 of the first cycle in which you are attempting to get pregnant/get you partner pregnant.

Steps

  1. Pre-planning: Make a “pre-conception” appointment with your OBGYN or Midwife. Check with your doctor to ensure that the following supplements and tools are right for you as you would not want any adverse effects. Ask for a prescription for prenatal vitamins or ask your doctor to recommend a good over the counter brand. Have IUD or other birth control device removed (if applicable, in not continue to cycle day 1).
  2. On the first day of your pregnancy cycle, throw out birth control, if applicable. Go shopping for the items listed in "things you will need." Start taking all daily supplements immediately (except for Guaifenesin until further notice). Stop all use of caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and non-medically necessary drugs. Time to put away the hot tub, if you have one. It decreases fertility in men and they cannot be used by women during pregnancy anyway.
  3. On the second day of your pregnancy cycle, start BBT charting. Set an alarm and wake up the same time every day and take your temp. Do not move or get out of bed until the thermometer has registered the temp (make sure to get at least 3, but preferably 6 hours of sleep before taking BBT).
  4. On the third day of your pregnancy cycle,if you opted to buy the first response fertility test, this is the day to take it. Follow the directions on the packaging.
  5. About on the fifth day of your pregnancy cycle, start charting your cervical mucus Do this daily until the doctor confirms conception. (Note: shortly after your period it will be extremely dry or non-existent; more information about charting CM at http://infertility.about.com/od/tryingtoconceive101/a/cervicalmucus.htm)
  6. About on the fourteenth day of your pregnancy cycle, start taking OPKs daily starting on or about the days that FF predicts you are fertile. Continue to check your cervical mucus. When it is clear and stretches between your fingers (like egg white) it is your most fertile mucus. Be sure to have sex on the days you have EWCM (Egg White Cervical Mucus) as well as on the day you get a positive OPK. Start taking Guaifenesin (200 mg 3x per day), and start doing the horizontal hula (missionary or doggy style positions are best for depositing the sperm closest to the cervix). Avoid using lubricants or saliva as these can both inhibit or kill sperm (if you must use a lubricant try actual egg whites or PreSeed). Also avoid oral sex because of the same issues with saliva. If you can, make sure she orgasms during or after ejaculation, as there is some proof that a woman’s orgasm can help ferry the sperm along through the cervix. Do this daily during suspected fertile days for the first cycle. You should lie down with your hips elevated for at least 20 mins after sex. If conception does not occur during the first cycle try switching to sex every other day, but being careful to have sex on the day of EWCM and positive OPK.
  7. About on the twentieth day of your pregnancy cycle, you likely noticed a slight rise in your temperature around the time of ovulation. If the temperature has remained high there is a possibility that you are pregnant, if not there is still a possibility, but you should probably expect to see aunt Flo around her regularly scheduled visitation time.
  8. About on the twenty-eighth day of your pregnancy cycle, expect Aunt Flo any time now. If there is no sign of her after your expected cycle days three or four, take a home pregnancy test and hope for the best.
  9. In the second cycle of your pregnancy and on this cycle's first day, continue charting menses and BBT, and taking all supplements. At end of menses continue steps starting at CD 5 and follow instructions through CD 28. Repeat for cycle 3.

Tips

  • This is a fairly aggressive approach to conceiving a child, so, while traditional fertility information suggests seeing a doctor if you fail after a year of unprotected sex if under age 30, I would likely cut that in half using this method ( after 6 mos. and after 3 cycles if under age 35).

Warnings

  • Will likely result in pregnancy
