Some women end up with a positive pregnancy without even trying, and get a pleasant surprise. Some couples make a conscious decision to get pregnant and are blessed fairly quickly. But for a great number of couples, achieving parenthood is still just a dream. It is for their benefit that various methods to achieve a positive pregnancy are presented here:

(1) Health-conscious couples have better chances of making it. True, the wife has to maintain good health to conceive a baby, but the husband plays a role too. His health is equally important. You may wonder how good health can bring about a positive pregnancy. Well, research has all the answers. An underweight or overweight male finds his sperm count to be lower than a male whose weight is normal. Chain smokers bring down their sperm count.

Thus, both the partners have to practice healthy habits - eating well but maintaining the recommended weight, avoiding alcohol and cigarettes. Each partner therefore becomes the other's motivation.

(2) The missionary sexual position is recommended by experts as sperm movement is favored by gravity while lying in this position. Though there is no scientific evidence to indicate that any one sexual position is more effective than the other, many people do believe that certain positions can increase the chances of a positive pregnancy.

(3) Familiarity with her ovulation cycle will increase the woman's chances of attaining a positive pregnancy. For those who find this difficult to do, ovulation kits or calendars can help determine when the female partner is most fertile. But ovulation is different for each woman; for some women, there is even variation from month to month. Hence, it is better if the woman keeps a close eye on bodily changes occurring just before ovulation, that is, before the onset of her menstrual cycle.

The woman is very fertile for 3 days before the cycle, during the cycle itself, and for 3 days after the cycle. This is the best time for a positive pregnancy since sperms can survive in her body for at least 5 days.

(4) The best recommendation that can be given to achieve a positive pregnancy is to develop a healthy lifestyle, ensure that the best health care is always available, and maintain a patient attitude! Unfortunately, this is what most people find difficult to do!

All the methods mentioned above can fit into everyday life quite easily. Thus, it should not be long before the objective is attained - a positive pregnancy.
