A very large percent of couples when trying to get pregnant find that It is not as easy as expected and after months and months of trying and negative pregnancy tests start feeling frustrated and discouraged.

Keeping an ovulation calendar is one of the most important steps when trying to improve fertility and actually conceiving. Keeping a calendar of the woman's monthly cycles, her temperature and other factors such as the increase of cervical fluids is definitely a good way to find out when she is actually ovulating, and when the active sexual intercourses should be concentrated.

There are some ways to further increase fertility and improve your chances of having a baby sooner.

The first piece of advice for women who want to get pregnant is to try to achieve their perfect body weight. Being overweight or underweight can hinder the conception. Achieving and keeping the Body mass index (BMI) and thus the healthy weight is a scientifically proven factor for improving the chances of getting pregnant.

For the men, some good advice they should follow in order to increase their fertility is to wear comfortable and loose underwear, such as boxers, to limit the saunas, hot baths, steam baths and not turn on their car seat heating, so as not to damage the sperm quality. Also, keeping those laptops on the lap for prolonged periods of time is also said to harm the sperm, the same stands for keeping cell phones in the front pockets of the trousers as well.
