Fertility vs Infertility: Afraid of infertility? Here’s how to get pregnant FASTER

Is fertility an issue for you? Are you worried about infertility? I am going to explain the dividing line between fertility and infertility. Then, if you have a fertility problem, I'll show you how to get pregnant fast. (I'll tell you exactly what I did to get pregnant in FOUR months after seven years of trying!)

Infertility Definition:
85% of couples - lets call them fully fertile - will get pregnant within 12 months of unprotected sex. We define infertility as being unable to conceive despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least one year. 10 to 15% of couples fall into this infertility category. (This is the category I fell into for years before I discovered a natural system and I got pregnant after just FOUR months!)

If you fall into this infertility category, the pregnancy chances have never been more hopeful. By taking no remedial action whatsoever, half of those so-called 'infertile couples' will conceive naturally and spontaneously over a three year period. That leaves about 7% of couples childless after four years. But not everyone is patient enough to wait so long.

So what can you do to get pregnant faster?

Obviously you can seek specialist help and there are many effective therapies to reverse infertility. The good news is these specialised treatments significantly improve your chances of getting pregnant. Unfortunately these fertility treatments are often expensive, involve surgery and are traumatic. (I considered that route too. Imagine my joy at finding a simple, natural system that enabled me to get pregnant naturally four months later.)

Is there another way of getting pregnant significantly faster?

Yes! Thank God for Lisa Olson. At age 43 she gave birth after years of "trying". She found a simple, natural system to reverse infertility, get pregnant quickly (within two months in her case, although it took me four) and without nasty interventions or side-effects.

Lisa called her trademarked get-pregnant-fast system "Pregnancy Miracle" because she found she could show other couples how to get pregnant when they had been struggling for so long to conceive. I was skeptical initially, but as there was a 100% money-back guarantee and it cost under $40, I thought it worth checking out.

Following Lisa's holistic and ancient Chinese system, I have achieved my own Pregnancy Miracle and I have an adorable baby daughter. Just 18 months later I gave birth to a perfect baby boy. I just knew motherhood was the right path for me: I love it all, every minute of it.

My infertility nightmare is over. I regained my fertility naturally and holistically (and I didn't have to swallow sheep's eyeballs or chew crocodile skin - I promise!) I just wish I hadn't waited for so long to find out about Ms. Olson's Pregnancy Miracle.

Male Fertility: Sperm Quality versus Sperm Quantity Tactics

March 13, 2010 by Sarah Shepard

If you are reading this page on fertility, the chances are you would like to find advice on how to get pregnant quickly. Some interesting male fertility research has emerged from Australia that may resolve your 'how to get pregnant' dilemma!

Knowledge is power. However this fertility research will only benefit couples where the males are producing poorer quality sperm (that is sperm with a higher than desired proportion of genetically imperfect spermatozoa) than would be considered ideal.

Up to now the standard advice for couples actively seeking pregnancy is to make love every two to three days, especially one to two days prior to ovulation, to ensure best possible chances of conception. The reasoning behind this sex-every-two-or-three-days regime has been to allow high numbers of sperm to accumulate in the epididymis (tube atop of each testicle). Therefore the focus has been on producing an ejaculate which has a high sperm count, whereby more sperm equals higher chances of fertilisation.

That's the 'abstain from over-frequent sex for enhanced sperm quantity' argument and it has its merits if your male has a lower than optimum sperm count.

Now to the quality over quantity side of the equation. All men produce some sperm which is imperfect, perhaps weak, with two tails, poor swimmers and so on. What if your man has a high sperm count but the DNA quality is lower than optimal? Here is some interesting fertility advice on how to get pregnant for men who want to ejaculate sperm of highest possible DNA quality.

Australian researchers found that ejaculating every day (i.e. daily sex) is a method of increasing sperm quality in individuals whose fertility problems were caused by genetically damaged sperm. That's good news for many couples who want to increase their chances of creating a baby.

Firstly sexual intercourse on a daily basis not only insures there are fresh, potent sperm waiting to fertilise an egg whenever ovulation occurs. Secondly daily sex also raises the quality of sperm in males  whose fertility problems are related to DNA damage of their sperm.

Why may more frequent sex result in better quality sperm? Researchers still believe abstinence allows for increased quantities of sperm, however they also know the quality of sperm declines over time. If your man is producing sperm of slightly poorer genetic quality than average and then that sperm is stored for days in the epididymis (sperm reservoir), exposure to free radicals will further damage the health of sperm. Regular and frequent ejaculation ensures that only newest, freshest sperm of higher genetic quality are available.

If it is early days yet in your quest for pregnancy, you certainly won't know much about the quality or quantity of your partner's sperm. A semen analysis is only advisable if you haven't been able to get pregnant despite frequent, unprotected sex for over a year.

Nonetheless, this research gives food for thought for couples wondering how to get pregnant. You could vary your tactics from cycle to cycle. Some months you could try the route of daily sex for high DNA quality sperm, and other cycles abstain from sex for two or three days to allow sperm counts to increase prior to ejaculation.

As always, I wish you every success in creating your own miraculous pregnancy and may your concerns about fertility and how to get pregnant be a thing of the past!

Fertility Monitors

A fertility monitor is a digital device used for monitoring your fertility cycle. Some brands are sold only to assist in getting pregnant, while other brands are advertised for both pregnancy and birth control.

Fertility Monitors watch for a number of different fertility markers, including hormone levels in urine, basal body temperature, and the electrical resistance of saliva and vaginal fluids, or a combination of these methods.

The fertility monitor marketed by Clearblue Easy uses disposable urine test sticks. It identifies up to six fertile days per cycle and is recommended by the manufacturer as a pregnancy achievement aid only.

OvaCue measures the electrical resistance of saliva to determine approaching ovulation. It is sold with an optional vaginal sensor to confirm ovulation has passed. It is marketed for pregnancy achievement only. It is manufactured by Zetek.

OvuLens is a microscope to observe characteristics of saliva. Ovulation increases the level of minerals / estrogen in a woman’s saliva. Beginning three or four days before ovulation then returning to normal two to three days after ovulation. This change can be noted by observing ferning patterns in dried saliva.

Ovulation Tests

Ovulation tests help you to identify the two days of your cycle when you are the most likely to get pregnant.

Just before an egg is released (ovulation) there are changes in your body as it prepares for the new egg. Ovulation tests work by being able to detect the change in one of your hormones, called luteinizing hormone. This hormone can be detected in the urine, and so it makes a perfect marker for knowing when ovulation will occur.

What happens is that LH levels rise dramatically about 24 to 36 hours before ovulation. It is, in fact, this "surge" of luteinizing hormone that triggers ovulation. Reading your LH surge with an ovulation test allows you to predict the most fertile days of your cycle — the two days beginning with your surge.

You can maximize your chances of becoming pregnant if you have intercourse within 24 to 36 hours after detecting your LH surge. Timing is one of the most important factors when you're trying to get pregnant.

Signs of Infertility

How to Get Pregnant - Signs of Infertility

Have you ever considered what the primary signs of infertility in a human being are? We should be aware of the indications of infertility and that too, as early as possible. Signs of infertility can become apparent in several ways, including instinctive and cultural factors, irregular behavior of individuals while having a sexual union, malnutrition, a depressed mental condition, endocrinology factors, and the current health condition of persons. The overall general lifestyle, emotional quotients, financial issues as well as time represent pointers to infertility as well. In this context, it is important to distinguish between infertility and impotency. The factors mentioned above can result in infertility in a man or a lady, in case any of the former stops working normally.

In cases where a male has full potency, his female partner can become pregnant during the menstruation cycle of the latter. However, not many are aware that men too have hormonal cycles. What’s more, while the cycle of ladies cover a 28-day period, a fixed tab cannot be put on the male cycle. Researches show that the quality of the male sperm can go down, not at all matching with his hormone cycle, although he can release sperms whenever he wishes to do so. The lower sperm quality, in turn, has a negative impact on a man’s fertility, and can diminish his ability to impregnate. Signs of infertility, in both men and women, can become more apparent with advancement of their age.

Discourses on the many signs of infertility can often be confusing. Here, we would be discussing these issues in a clearer manner. Fertility of humans is not our focus here. In females, the single most important sign of her being infertile is an irregular pattern of her periods. However, it has to be kept in mind that, while irregular menstrual cycles do indicate infertility, they can also act as signs of other health hazards.

If a lady does not have the ideally correct body weight, her fertility is likely to go down. Infertility can be a problem faced by both overweight as well as grossly underweight women. The fetus needs to be nursed properly during pregnancy. If the hip region of a woman is too narrow, this task becomes difficult, and her ability to conceive babies suffers. The balance of hormones can also receive a jolt in case a proper nutrition-rich diet is not adopted. Obesity can also stand in the way of maintenance of the correct hormone balance. As a result, their ability to reproduce can suffer. If a lady is in the habit of drinking too much, she can also become infertile, for a considerable length of time too. Thus, in order to maintain her fertility, alcohol-consumption needs to be eliminated totally. However, this infertility has nothing to do with the barrenness of a lady.

Doctors point out several other common signs of infertility. For example, if the ovary of a lady is twisted, conceiving a baby becomes very tough for her. For women to become pregnant, the male sperm has to travel through her body and enter her ovary. In case the female ovary is positioned at a wrong position, this procedure is not possible. As a result, for all practical purposes, the lady becomes infertile. Any cysts that are present in the ovary can also prevent a woman from getting pregnant.

On the other hand, guessing which man is infertile is tricky. While a rather weak-looking guy can become a parent whenever he has an intercourse with a lady, an apparently strong, tough person can have an unfavorable rate of mortality and/or a low sperm count. However, in general, the level of fertility goes down as a man becomes more and more obese. Problems in the general health of males and/or his anatomy can also bring down his virility. Fertility falls with the advancing years too.

Andropause (or, the process of menopause in males) results in easy detection of the signs of infertility. The indications of infertility in men include:

  • Losing hair on a regular basis,
  • Gaining too much fat in the abdominal parts, and an increase in general body weight,
  • Wrinkles and dryness of the skin,
  • A fall in the male libido levels,
  • Excess stress,
  • Problems in having an erection,
  • Too much sweat as well as hot flushes,
  • A disturbed and nervous state of mind, with constant bouts of anxiety,
  • An feeling of unwillingness and a marked lack of motivation, and
  • A depressed mental state.

Fortunately, these signs of infertility can be eliminated if holistic methods of treatment are adopted. Unlike other conventional treatment methods, holistic approaches aim to detect the actual causes of the problem, and then suggest remedies accordingly. And these treatments also do not have any adverse side effects. Holistic methods recommend extensive usage of Chinese medicines, herbs and acupuncture. Proper exercises as well as a balanced diet are also prescribed. It has indeed been proven that holistic methods have a much higher success rate in helping people recover their fertility, than other conventional techniques.

This article is based on the book, "Pregnancy Miracle" by Lisa Olson. Lisa is an author, researcher, nutritionist and health consultant who dedicated her life to creating the ultimate pregnancy solution guaranteed to permanently reverse the root of infertility, help you get pregnant quickly and naturally and dramatically improve the overall quality of your life,  without the use prescription medication and without any surgical procedures.
