When you are together, make sex a priority.For example, if you are together on the weekends, try to have sex once a day. This will increase your odds of conception.Unless there are complications, most women under the age of 35 will become pregnant within the first year of regular unprotected sex.2
Enjoy your love life. Obviously, men need to achieve orgasm for their role in conception. Women do not need to orgasm during sex in order to become pregnant. But having a good sex life is important when you are trying to have a baby.

Tracking Ovulation to Maximize Your Opportunities Download Article
1
Track your cycle. It is possible to conceive while you are in a long distance relationship. To increase your chances of becoming pregnant, you need to follow several steps to monitor your body to help improve your odds.
[10]XResearch source- Tracking your cycle will help you figure out when you are ovulating. Ovulation is when your body releases a mature egg that is ready for fertilization.
- Ovulation typically occurs around day 14 of your menstrual cycle. Most women have a cycle of about 28 days.
- You are most fertile in the three days immediately before ovulation. Typically, these are the 11th, 12th, and 13th days of your cycle.
- Make a note on the calendar on the first day of your period. This is the first day of your cycle.
- Many women have irregular periods. This can make it more difficult to predict ovulation.
- You are most fertile in the days leading up to ovulation. This is the ideal time to have sex. If you have to choose only three days a month to be with your partner, choose the three days prior to ovulation.
2
Monitor your mucus. Paying attention to your body can help you figure out the best times during the month to have sex. You can then plan visits with your partner during those times. Monitoring your cervical mucus is another natural way to help keep track of your most fertile days.
[12]Go to source- Cervical mucus is a thick, fluid like substance released by your vagina. In the days leading up to ovulation, this mucus is more likely to be clear and slippery. It may look like egg whites.
- On your least fertile days, the mucus will be thicker and cloudier. You may produce no mucus at all after you are done ovulating for the month.
3
Use an ovulation kit. You can purchase an over the counter product that can help predict ovulation. Most drugstores sell ovulation kits. Ask your pharmacist if he recommends a particular brand.

Love & Relationship CoachExpert Interview. 6 October 2021. Basal body temperature is the temperature of your body when it is at rest. This number fluctuates throughout your cycle. Take your temperature each day to help predict ovulation.
[15]Go to source- Your body temperature is lowest during the first days of your cycle. It will increase after ovulation.
- Typically, your body temperature will be 96-98 degrees before ovulation and 97-99 degrees after ovulation.
- It is important to take your temperature at the same time and using the same method each day. Keep track of what is normal for your body.
- Purchase a thermometer that specifically takes basal body temperature. These are available at most drug stores, and you can select an oral or rectal thermometer.

Monitoring Your Physical and Emotional Health Download Article
1
Eat right. In addition to having regular sex, there are other things you can do to make your body more receptive to conception. You can take these steps regardless of how often you and your partner see one another. When you are trying to conceive, it is important to eat a healthy diet.
[16]XResearch source- Try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity in each day. Take a brisk walk or enjoy a yoga or spinning class.
- Be careful not to overexercise. Women who have regularly exercise vigorously may stop ovulating. This usually only occurs with extreme regimens, such as training for a marathon.
- Regular exercise can also benefit sperm health. Both partners should aim to be physically active in order to increase the chances of conception.
3
Increase sperm mobility. There are many things that males can do to increase the odds of conception. Consider ways to make your sperm more healthy. For example, maintaining a healthy body weight helps your sperm be more productive.
[18]Go to source- Avoid smoking and alcohol. Both of these can lower sperm counts, which decrease your odds of conception.
- Cool off. Try to keep your scrotal area from being too warm. Avoid hot tubs and sitting too long. Loose fitting underwear may help mobility.
- Avoid using lubricants during sex. Further research is needed, but it is possible that some products can impede fertility.
4
Take the pressure off. When you are trying to conceive, that can seem like the most important thing in the world. But try to remember that your relationship with your partner is important on many levels. Make sure to continue to have conversations that don't revolve around ovulation.[19]XExpert SourceNicole Moore
Love & Relationship CoachExpert Interview. 6 October 2021.
- Conception can be stressful. If one of you needs a break from trying or discussing trying, that's ok. Just be open and honest about your needs.
- Keep the romance alive. Try to schedule fun activities when you are together. For example, go to a movie or go bowling. Spend time doing things that don't involve sex.
- Check in with each other. Make sure that you and your partner emotionally support one another on this journey.
5
Consider alternatives. If you are having trouble conceiving, remember that you have options. Talk to your doctor and your partner about things that you can do. It is entirely possible you just might need more time.
[21]U.S. government agency providing resources for women's healthGo to source- If you are having trouble conceiving naturally, your doctor can recommend several types of treatment. She might offer a course of drug therapy, for example.
