Up until this point, you may have been using contraceptives during sex to avoid pregnancy. Now that you want a baby, you and your partner may be confused as to why you are not pregnant immediately upon ceasing to use contraceptives. Although thousands of people every year consult infertility experts, there are a few things you can try before throwing in the towel or calling an expert.
1. Work With Your Cycle Of Ovulation
Timing is everything, and this couldn't be more true for getting pregnant. You will want to time your lovemaking activities in tune with her ovulation cycle. Most women have an ovulation cycle that lasts twenty eight to thirty days. Their most fertile time is halfway through at fourteen or fifteen days into their cycle.

2. The Window Of 72 Hours
One of the primary reasons why you might not have become pregnant is because you are having sex at the wrong time. There is only a 72 hour window of opportunity for the egg to remain fertile. You and your partner should try to have a baby as close to the time of ovulation as possible, but if your schedule does not allow you can try to have a baby up to 72 hours before this time.
