It's kind of strange and maybe a little quirky but often when I visit online communities where women discuss the challenges of getting pregnant many report that they have been trying for a long time then when they stopped trying all of a sudden within a month or a year they find themselves pregnant.

Now I am not saying that if you stop trying you will all of a sudden become pregnant however there is definitely a correlation with becoming too consumed with it and as a result stress can arise which can prevent you from getting pregnant.

There are many keys to success when it comes to getting pregnant. As I am sure you are well aware timing is important. But beyond that your health is also a major factor. This applies to both you and your partner. As you know it takes two to tango.

You will need obviously to start tracking your cycles and observing the changes that take place with your body. Changes such as increase in temperature and changes in cervical fluids.

The key then of course is to have regular sex leading up to ovulation. Sperm can last in the fallopian tube for a few days so you want to have plenty of it in place to help fertilize the egg.

To conclude my two cents is this. Take care of the basics such as your health. Observe your body and chart your cycles. Take your mind of it and let nature take its natural course.
