How to get pregnant fast: 6 Easy Tips

Say bye-bye to birth control sooner rather than later.

How to get pregnant fast
If you use the pill or patch or shot — or another form of hormonal contraceptives, the sooner you stop, the faster your cycle can return to its natural groove. Hormonal contraceptives usually contain a combo of estrogen and progesterone, which keeps you from getting pregnant by suppressing ovulation or preventing implantation. That’s why it can take a few months after going off birth control for your hormones to get up to speed again and for your period to come regularly. Talk to your practitioner about the best time to get off your birth control: Generally, three months is the preferred time for women using the pill or patch, but it can take up to nine months (or longer) for your reproductive system to bounce back if you use the Depo-Provera injection.

Don't forget these other sperm-boosting foods.

Add these fertility foods to your man’s menu:
  • Oysters. We’re not sure if oysters are an aphrodisiac, but we do know that their zinc content pumps up the production of sperm and testosterone. If your partner’s not a fan, he can get his share of zinc from lean beef, poultry, dairy, nuts, or eggs, though oysters have the highest concentration of this baby-making nutrient.
  • Fruits and veggies. Produce is rich in the vitamins that can help protect your guy’s sperm from cellular damage. He can get folate from leafy greens — men who don’t get enough of this B vitamin tend to have sperm with abnormal chromosomes. Give him plenty of citrus fruits, tomatoes, and berries for vitamin C (which can boost sperm quality) and carrots, red peppers, and apricots for vitamin A (which keeps sperm from getting sluggish). Or serve sweet potatoes, which are rich in all three — folate, A, and C!
  • Honey and pomegranate juice. Honey contains boron, a mineral that may increase testosterone, and pomegranate juice may up sperm count and quality.

Boost your dairy and iron intake.

Besides eating right and taking prenatal vitamins, try to fit in one serving of full-fat diary a day as part of your plan to bone up on calcium. Research shows that one serving of whole milk or cheese — or yes, even a scoop of full-fat ice cream — can lower your chances of ovulatory infertility (the inability to produce healthy eggs). But be sure to limit that full-fat serving to one a day, otherwise you’ll sabotage your conception quest by packing on too many pounds. Also aim for two servings a day of iron-rich foods like leafy greens, beans, and lean meats since research shows that anemic women can have irregular cycles.

Cut down your caffeine intake…and cut out other vices.

There’s a whole host of studies showing that too much caffeine and alcohol can derail your campaign to conceive. So if you really want to get pregnant now, limit your caffeine intake to about 200 mg per day — which is the equivalent of about two cups of coffee. (If you’re undergoing fertility treatments, your doc may lower that limit even more.) But cut out out alcohol altogether and tell your partner to decrease his drinking too — alcohol can do a number on your fertility and his. And though it probably goes without saying, nix nicotine now if you haven’t already because it can cause major cell damage to your eggs and increase the chances of miscarriage once you do get pregnant.

Skip the lubricant.

If you’re trying to get pregnant faster, get your juices flowing with some good old-fashioned foreplay instead of reaching for the lube. Oil-based lubricants (like massage oil) can change your cervical mucus and the pH of your vaginal tract, making it more difficult for your partner’s sperm to find its way to the promised land. Even saliva can turn into a sperm-killer. An alternate get-in-the-mood idea: Watch a sexy movie together — doing so actually boosts the quality of your guy’s sperm. (If these tactics don’t do the trick and you find that you’re simply too dry to get the deed done, try a dime-sized dollop of a water-based lube like K-Y.)

Chill…

Studies show that extreme stress can lower your chances of getting pregnant by causing hormone levels to go haywire and decrease cervical mucus. But we’re talking about high anxiety here — not run-of-the-mill frustrations like a demanding boss or tantrum-ing toddler. But even if you’re not at freak-out levels, it can’t hurt to keep your nerves in check by avoiding work overloads and hitting a yoga or Zumba class, listening to music, or venting to your partner or a sympathetic pal. Another plus to finding time for R&R now: Once you do make and deliver a baby, “me” time will be a
