Tips & Tricks for Getting Pregnant
Once you decide it is time to have a baby, most of us think that all it will take is ditching the birth control, buying a bottle of wine, and lighting a few candles. Ahh, if only it were so.
Sometimes it does not happen quickly and we can use a few tips and tricks. Keep in mind that it can normally take several months of timed intercourse to get pregnant. The general rule of thumb is that you should not seek medical advice until you have tried timed sex without a pregnancy for 12 months (if the woman is under 35) or 6 months (if the woman is over 35).
