Your fertility is linked to your age and your overall wellbeing.
If you have regular periods, then your most fertile period usually falls in the middle of your cycle when you ovulate. Many pharmacies sell ovulation kits to help you know when this is happening, but you can also tell by getting to know your own body – you’ll notice that your vaginal mucus becomes thicker, and you feel more in the mood for sex.
Having sex around the time of ovulation gives you the best chance of getting pregnant since the sperm and the egg are most likely to meet and form an embryo.
One of the best ways to increase your fertility is to improve your overall health. That may include:
Around 90% of couples [1] will conceive within a year if they’re having regular sex when the woman is ovulating.
If you’re under 35, doctors generally will encourage you to keep trying for a year before recommending fertility investigations. If you’re over 35, your fertility is already declining, so we recommend you seek help after six months of trying to conceive.
For a woman to get pregnant, her ovaries need to release a mature egg that travels down her fallopian tubes, is fertilised by sperm to form an embryo that enters her uterus and implants.
Female infertility can trace back to a problem with the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus or cervix. Causes include:
Only a few! You have the best chance of getting pregnant if sperm is in your fallopian tubes as you ovulate.
There are many ovulation calendars that can help you identify your most fertile days, which are usually the three days leading up to and including ovulation.
