Introduction
If you are reading this it is, perhaps, because you fall into one (or both) of these categories:
 You’ve been trying to get pregnant for some time (months, maybe years) and you haven’t
been able to.
 You really want a baby, have been doing all the “right” things you’ve been told you
should do for that, yet, for some reason, you have not been able to conceive.
I know the struggle you are dealing with – I’ve been in your shoes. I went through the same dark
time that you may be facing as I fought against my infertility for years. No matter what the
doctors tried or how much I paid for my treatments, every month was the same thing... I got my
period and no pregnancy, or even worse, I got pregnant only to lose the pregnancy a few weeks
afterward.
Not being able to have a baby is an empty, sad and lonely roller-coaster of emotions as you deal
month after month with the uncertainty and fleeting hope of whether this is finally the month
where the “dry spell” will end and you will succeed in getting pregnant.
Having dealt with infertility and consulted with multiple leading infertility specialists who
prescribed and put me through tens of thousands of dollars of medical treatments which didn’t
work – I felt completely lost. (Click here to read my story.)
I wished that someone could simply tell me what was wrong and give me a formula that could
help take me out of the vacuum I was stuck in. I prayed for some sort of divine inspiration or
guidance and after almost three years of “failure to conceive,” I learned about a series of eastern
medicine treatments, holistic wellness and sexual guidelines that helped me finally get my wish.
I got pregnant, had a perfectly healthy pregnancy and gave birth to my adored daughter.
I’ve written and I’m sharing with you this report, as the report I wish I’d been handed myself
when I was dealing with my own infertility.
It contains 7 baby-making secrets that could have helped me get pregnant far sooner and would
have saved me multiple years of anguish and many thousands of wasted dollars in fertility
treatments.
Read these guidelines and adopt them into your baby-making routine.
Each of these 7 steps I’m presenting will by itself help increase your chances of conceiving, but
when combined they maximize their individual effects.
At the end of each step, I’ll present you with my own particular case, and how following the
recommendations helped me achieve my healthy, happy pregnancy.

It doesn’t matter how long you may have been trying or how many other methods you may have
tried and failed. This method can help you and I encourage you to try these seven steps as part of
your baby-making routine.
They worked for me after multiple failures, losses and thousands of dollars in medical treatments
that did not yield results, and they have worked for countless women worldwide.
I also encourage you to check out the book “Pregnancy Miracle” by Lisa Olson which was the
book that literally changed my life and opened up my eyes to a whole new way of looking at
infertility as well as how I could beat it. I’ve published my own story and how this book affected
my life on my website. I invite you to read the story and encourage you to read the book – it
helped me get my daughter and it may also help you get your own baby.
One more thing that I would like to mention:
While you are going through infertility, many times it may seem as if you are the only person in
the world who has been “cursed” with such condition.
In our current times, infertility is still a taboo subject, and many women feel shame or
embarrassment over their inability to conceive.
In reality, infertility is far more common than you may think.
Unfortunately I learned this after I had my baby girl, when I found the courage to start opening
up about my challenges trying to conceive to other “mommy friends” and women who were
trying to get pregnant.
This is why I’m telling this to you right now, from the very beginning.
You are not alone!
At this precise moment, there are countless women all over the world experiencing the same pain
and frustration you are feeling from not being able to get pregnant. It’s just that they are not
openly talking about it!
However, you now have a distinct advantage. You and I have met and now I have the
opportunity to tell you what I did and what I’ve learned about beating infertility and getting
pregnant.
There is hope – more than you can imagine. Having experienced it first hand and learned what I
was doing wrong, allowed me to change my habits and try a different approach which worked
for me.

I’ve learned over the course of my infertility and my eventual triumph over it.
I hope my words and these 7 Baby-Making Steps bring you closer to your goal of having that
beautiful baby of your own in your arms. That is my most sincere wish and what I have made my
life’s mission at INeedtoGetPregnant.com

The 7 Baby-Making Steps
Baby-Making Step #1 - Improve your lifestyle
Pregnancy is one period in which women tend to go through several changes, since the body
needs to adjust to the new life inside the womb. For this, a mother has to be prepared both
mentally and physically, as there will be a lot of strain put on her body during the 9-month
journey.
If you are trying to get pregnant, you have to be ready to start the preparation process for your
body to be able to provide the adequate environment for your baby, even if this means having to
change your lifestyle.
The 4 key areas you need to focus on when looking to be well-prepared for this stage include:
- Stopping any negative habits that may affect your pregnancy.
- Making sure you feed yourself well with healthy foods and take the right supplements for your
body.
- Exercise and stay fit.
- Get enough rest.
#1 Stopping Your Negative Habits
There are many reasons why you should choose to get rid of the bad habits in your life.
Consuming things such as alcohol, cigarettes and drugs has many negative effects on your
health. The moment you quit the consumption of these things, your body will start to benefit and
you will feel the difference. After all, you want to be healthy, especially once you decide that it
is time to have a baby. Stopping any negative habits you may currently have will, for starters,
dramatically increase your chances of getting pregnant.
The reason is simple - for normal ovulation to take place, your body needs to be as healthy as
possible.
Another reason to quit alcohol and cigarettes is the fact that they can increase the risk of a
miscarriage since they affect how your body works and disturb its natural hormonal balance.
Cigarettes in general are detrimental to your health. There is not a single benefit that comes from
smoking them, and they have been linked to decreased fetal size in pregnant women who smoke.
If you smoke, you should quit this habit the minute you begin to think about getting pregnant.

and giving birth to healthy babies.
http://INeedToGetPregnant.com

At the moment, there is no conclusive evidence on how alcohol affects ovulation and the process
of getting pregnant. However, excessive intake is known to negatively effect your health in
general, so you are better off quitting alcohol altogether.
There are some studies that have also identified excessive caffeine as a danger to fertility.
Although they may not be conclusive, women who are looking to get pregnant are advised to
keep the caffeine level below 200 mg a day.
#2 Eat healthy foods and take the right vitamins and supplements
Once you have quit any negative habits you may have, you need to step it up a notch when it
comes to improving your overall well-being. Your body needs food to function and this is why
you need to consume a healthy diet. You need to eat healthy, wholesome foods, especially when
looking to get pregnant. You should consume well-balanced meals three times a day and you
may add two healthy snacks in between meals. It is also important that you eat plenty of fruits
and vegetables since they contain nutrients that play a major role during pregnancy. These
include (but are not limited to):
1. Calcium
2. Vitamin D
3. Folic acid
4. Iron
Of all these, it is especially important that you consume the right amount of folic acid, since it
has been proven that adequate consumption of this nutrient helps prevent neural tube defects
such as spina bifida. You need to consume at least 400 mcg of folic acid daily to ensure the
healthy development of your baby. There are different supplements rich in folic acid out there
that are available for women looking to get pregnant. And always make sure you are taking your
pre-natal vitamin. I personally took (and still take) New Chapter Perfect Prenatal.
In addition to my prenatal vitamin, I opted to also take a female fertility supplement called
FertilAid, which can help women who have irregular periods get regular again and improve
their fertility.
However, always remember that despite using supplements, you still need to continue eating a
healthy and balanced diet.
#3 Exercise and staying fit
A healthy body means a healthy pregnancy and this usually takes more than just quitting bad
habits and eating a healthy diet. To achieve this, you also need to exercise and stay fit. Regular
exercise helps you maintain stamina, flexibility and strength. These factors ensure that you are
able to:
- Maintain a positive mood and good energy level.
INeedtoGetPregnant.com
Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally
and giving birth to healthy babies.
http://INeedToGetPregnant.com
9
- Strengthen your body muscles, especially to prevent back pains and improve posture, which
will be affected by the physical changes of pregnancy.
- Maintain an optimal hormonal balance.
- Reach your optimal weight to conceive.
- Enjoy your healthy pregnancy.
Some of the daily activities you can do as exercise to prepare your body for pregnancy include
walking or cycling to work, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking or jogging first
thing in the morning, participating in light group fitness classes such as yoga, Pilates and low-
impact aerobics.
On the flip side, make sure you do not over-do it... Too much of a good thing can have negative
effects too! Excessive exercise puts the body into a state of constant stress that can end up
preventing ovulation. The guideline is everything in moderation... Which leads me to...
#4 Get Some Good Rest
Rest is equally as important during pregnancy as the rest of the factors we have discussed so far.
The body has to get used to carrying that new life inside the womb. Many studies have been
conducted to see the relationship between sleep patterns and ovulation. It has been found that
around 80 to 90 percent of the ovulation cases take place between midnight and 4 a.m. (Robert
Greene, M.D., author of Perfect Hormone Balance for Fertility: The Ultimate Guide to Getting
Pregnant (Three Rivers Press, 2008). So it is in your best interest that you are well-rested while
your body is “working” on ovulating.
As much as you cannot really influence how the whole ovulation process takes place, good sleep
is within your reach. This is something you can work on and ensure that you get plenty of. I
personally suggest that you get between 7-8 hours of sleep at night, and, if possible, try to go to
bed no later than 10:00 PM. In the long run, this will boost your chances of getting pregnant.
How following this Baby-Making Step helped me
Before I even thought of getting pregnant, I believed I was living a relatively healthy lifestyle. I
ate what I believed to be “healthy” foods (lots of “low-fat”, “reduced calorie”, “sugar free/fat
free” labeled foods.)
I also exercised a lot. Being a fitness professional myself, required me to teach 2-4 group fitness
classes daily, 5-6 days a week, and I used to exercise on my own in addition to teaching all those
classes!
Due to my teaching schedule, I used to sleep an average of 5-6 hours a night, and during the
weekend I would “make up” for the lost sleep sometimes sleeping up to 10 hours straight.

and giving birth to healthy babies.
http://INeedToGetPregnant.com
10
I never smoked, but I used to be a social drinker and I consumed high amounts of caffeine (to
make up for the sleep deprivation.) I couldn’t even think of starting my day without at least 2-3
cups of coffee!
So, as you can see, what I considered to be a “healthy” lifestyle really wasn’t optimal to help me
get pregnant.
I then decided to stop eating processed, packaged food and started including more fruits,
vegetables, lean meats, poultry and fish on my diet, consuming mostly organic products when
possible.
I also stopped consuming caffeine and limited my alcohol intake to the extremely special social
occasions (a toast at a good friend’s wedding, a small glass of red wine at a relative’s birthday
party, etc.)
I cut down my exercise dramatically, limiting myself to no more than 6 hours of intense physical
activity per week and no more than an hour a day (and yes, this included giving up many classes
that I used to teach.)
Finally, I started going to bed earlier and sleeping between 7-8 hours each night, weekends
included, without under or oversleeping.
Within weeks I started noticing the change. I felt more energized and happy, and I knew then
that all these changes would eventually help me get pregnant.

Baby-Making Step #2 - Optimize Your Weight for
Pregnancy
When it comes to getting pregnant and increasing your chances of conception, being either
overweight or underweight can have a negative effect on your hormonal balance.
By having a hormonal imbalance caused by being off your ideal weight, you can potentially
reduce your odds of ovulating.
As you may imagine, if you do not ovulate, you cannot get pregnant. Furthermore, being too fat
or too thin can also raise the risks of having complications in your pregnancy.
Reaching your healthiest weight
Your goal for a target weight to increase your chances of conception is to reach a body mass
index (BMI) of 19 to 25. There are many BMI calculators available for free on the Internet, and
the process is merely a mathematical formula of calculating your weight vs. your height. The
process of BMI calculation is somewhat inaccurate and may vary depending on your body
composition (muscle mass vs. fat), but for our purposes in getting you pregnant, the standard
BMI calculation will go a long way to giving you an idea of where you should be on your weight
for getting pregnant.
If you've been having irregular periods and your BMI is 30 or above, try to reduce your BMI.
Simply losing 10-20 percent of your BMI can help you regulate your menstrual cycle and
effectively increase your chances of conceiving.
To drop your weight, do not go on a dramatic, hyper-restrictive diet as this can also lower your
body’s nutritional reserves and make it even harder for you to get pregnant.
Your goal should be to lose between 1 to 2 pounds per week which is a safe range for you to
achieve healthy weight loss.
If your issue is being far too thin, and you have a BMI below 19, you will need to put on some
weight in order to increase your chances of conception and have your body be prepared to handle
pregnancy.
An extremely low BMI can lead to irregular periods and, in extreme cases, amenorrhea (the
absence of your period) which also presents a big problem when trying to conceive.
The same way that it's not recommended that you starve in order to lose weight, it's best to not
stuff yourself or load up on junk, fatty food to gain additional weight quickly.
Put on a few extra pounds gradually by eating larger portions of healthy foods, and make sure
that you are consuming the vitamins and minerals you'll need in order to have a healthier, well-

nourished body. And if you can’t gain weight because you are exercising too much, try switching
to less intense workouts, such as walking or gentle yoga.
How following this Baby-Making Step helped me
I have to admit that I was guilty of not following this step from the very beginning.
As a fitness professional, I was under constant pressure to maintain a “hard body,” which
translated into having a low BMI.
At 5’4” tall, I used to weight barely 107 lbs., which corresponded to a BMI of 18.4.
When I had my third failed IVF round I decided to make a change in my lifestyle, allowing
myself to gain a little weight (3½ pounds to be exact) and reach my target BMI of 19.
Just those 3½ pounds made an enormous difference in my health and my body! My cycles
became shorter and more regular (I went from having 32-35 day cycles to having 27-28 day
cycles). I had more energy and even was able to sleep better!
Ok, so my “skinny jeans” didn’t fit as perfectly as before (though I was still able to squeeze
myself in them,) but then again, who needs “skinny jeans” and 6-pack abs when pregnant, right?
In summary, to maximize your chances of getting pregnant, make sure that you are neither too
heavy nor too skinny. To conceive, you'll have to be at a healthy weight for you and most
important, for the new baby that you’ll be carrying inside you for an entire 9 months.

Baby-Making Step #3 - Avoid Gluten
One of the big “secret topics” in the field of infertility is the prevalence of gluten sensitivity
among women and its negative effects on fertility.
For starters, when most people hear of someone eliminating gluten from their diets, the first
reaction is to ask if that person has Celiac disease.
While going gluten-free is an absolute must for people who are celiac, many women also have a
milder form of gluten sensitivity which has been shown to have a negative effect on fertility and
a decrease on a woman's ability to ovulate.(G.F. Meloni, S. Dessole, N. Vargiu, P.A. Tomasi and
S. Musumeci. 1999. The prevalence of coeliac disease in infertility, European Society of Human
Reproduction and Embryology. Vol. 14, No. 11, 2759-2761)
Going gluten-free takes some work, but once you do it, you will start to notice improvements not
only in your periods but also in many other aspects of your overall health. Things such as
increased energy, having a smoother, clearer complexion, and easier digestion, are quite
common, as well as an overall improvement in mood.
One thing to note in going gluten-free when trying to get pregnant is that you must completely
cut out gluten from all sources. There are many foods that contain gluten even if you think they
are gluten-free. Things such as soy sauce, products with barley, rye, wheat and many other
products that may come into contact with other sources of gluten just from the manufacturing
process.
In the case of increasing your fertility and getting pregnant, there is no such thing as simply
"reducing the amount of gluten you consume" - you need to eliminate it completely. Unlike other
unhealthy substances, such as refined sugars and saturated fats, where simply reducing the
amount consumed has a positive impact in your health – gluten is an “all or nothing” deal. One
microgram of gluten in a gluten-sensitive person can trigger the same immune response as an
entire bowl of wheat cereal. And in order to clear up the immune reaction to gluten from your
body, it is necessary to go completely gluten-free for several weeks at least. And just one tiny
taste of it and you’ll need to start from zero all over again.
Because of this, it is very important that you read products’ labels carefully, and preferably
consume only those labeled specifically as “gluten-free.” Even better, if you reduce your intake
of processed foods and choose instead fresh, naturally gluten-free foods (such as fruits,
vegetables, lean meats, poultry and fish) it will be much easier to eliminate gluten from your
diet.
Fortunately, due to the increase in gluten allergies and Celiac disease, there are more and more
products made with gluten-free ingredients with very strict manufacturing guidelines to avoid
cross-contamination with gluten.
INeedtoGetPregnant.com
Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally
and giving birth to healthy babies.
http://INeedToGetPregnant.com
14
And one very important thing to consider: While going gluten-free may help you get pregnant, it
is NOT necessary to remain gluten-free once you are already pregnant and have a viable
pregnancy. So if you happen to find this step a bit challenging, just remember that, unless you
have been officially diagnosed with Celiac disease or a severe intolerance or allergy to gluten,
you will be able to enjoy foods with gluten in the future.
How following this Baby-Making Step helped me
My initial reaction when I found out about gluten and its effects on infertility was pure shock.
The first thing I did was request to get tested for Celiac disease. My test came back negative for
Celiac, but I found out that there are many people who, despite testing negative for Celiac
disease, still have gluten allergies and gluten sensitivities.
Although being sensitive to gluten may not be severe enough to completely cause distress in
your life, it can still cause subtle problems such as constipation, acne, low energy and irritability.
And I happened to have every single one of those “subtle” symptoms.
When I started paying attention to my gluten intake, I discovered that every single meal I had
(including snacks) contained gluten!
I basically had to modify my entire diet, in some cases finding gluten-free alternatives (such as
gluten-free breads) to eliminating the consumption altogether of other foods (such as ready-to-eat
microwave meals – I found the gluten-free versions not very tasty or appealing.)
It took me approximately 4-5 weeks to feel the impact that going gluten-free had in my overall
health. My skin cleared up, my energy level dramatically increased (I was actually happy to start
my days bright and early in the morning, even on weekends!) and I stopped needing to nap in the
middle of the day. I also had more energy to go grocery shopping and to cook my own gluten-
free meals, which is perhaps what made the most impact in my overall health.
Sure, going gluten-free was not easy, especially at the beginning, but once I started feeling the
effects I embraced that lifestyle completely. I enjoyed every single gluten-free meal I ate,
especially because, after feeling the difference that eliminating gluten from my diet had in my
health, I had a feeling it would help me get pregnant soon. And it did.

Baby-Making Step #4 - Track Your Ovulation
Some healthy and fertile women are unable to get pregnant due to wrong timing of sexual
intercourse. To get pregnant, you have to make sure that you have sex at the time you are
ovulating since that can greatly increase your chances of conceiving.
It is therefore important that you are able to identify the basic signs of ovulation so that you can
achieve this goal.
One of the most accurate ways to measure ovulation is to use a professional ovulation predictor
kit. These kits will measure the levels of hormone in your urine and will be able to let you known
when you are ovulating.
If in fact you use one of these kits, I highly recommend that you start having sex 2 days before
the predictor kit says positive. The reason is because the sperm need to swim and reach the egg
in time for when the ovulation takes place. By having sex 2 days prior to ovulation, you give the
sperm enough time to reach the egg and be able to fertilize it when it's ready.
Keep in mind also that, under optimal conditions, sperm can survive inside the uterus for up to 3-
4 days, while, once an egg is ovulated, it roughly has a life span of 12-24 hours. This is why it
increases your chances of conceiving if you have sperm “waiting” for the egg by the time you
ovulate.
In addition to using an ovulation predictor kit, the following are 5 ways of knowing when you
are ovulating.
1. Increased desire for sex
Studies show that most women experience increased sexual desire a few days before ovulation.
This is actually the appropriate time that you should have sex if you want to get pregnant. The
increased sexual desire is brought about by an increase in the level of sex hormones in the body
during this period. It is also a natural adaptation of your body to ensure that conception takes
place.
However, it is important to note that sexual desire can diminish even at this time if you are going
through a period of anxiety, stress or depression, all which can commonly be experienced by
someone going through infertility.
If this is your case, it is important that you deal first with these problems so that your sexual
desire doesn’t get negatively affected. Finding fun distractions, practicing meditation, and in
some cases, group or individual therapy sessions may be extremely helpful to help you cope with
stress and anxiety in your life.

and giving birth to healthy babies.

2. Tenderness of breasts
Some women may experience some breast tenderness before and after ovulation. This sensation
is caused by the increased level of hormones necessary to prepare the body for pregnancy.
However, this may also occur shortly before menstruation. Fertility drugs may also cause this
tenderness.
While breast tenderness can be experienced prior to ovulation, it is not recommended to be used
as the only method of tracking ovulation, since it can be affected by several other factors.
3. Changes in the position of the cervix
The position of the cervix may change shortly before ovulation. It moves a bit higher and
becomes more open and softer. You can try to feel the difference through regular practice.
Before and after ovulation, the cervix (which feels like the tip or your nose) is usually positioned
low and closed. Once ovulation is close, the cervix rises and opens/softens to allow for sperm to
enter more easily.
Tracking ovulation through this method requires some practice, but it can help you if you are not
able to see any difference in the amount and consistency of your cervical mucus, such as when
taking medications. We will talk more about cervical mucus a little further ahead.
4. Changes in the basal body temperature
Your basal body temperature (BBT) is the temperature of your body at rest. During the first part
of your cycle the hormone progesterone remains at relatively low levels. However, after
ovulation occurs, progesterone levels rise, and this causes your BBT to rise and remain high for
some time, usually about 14 days after ovulation. You can use a BBT chart and a specialized
BBT thermometer to track your cycle and determine when and if you are ovulating.
5. Changes in the cervical mucus
Your Cervical Mucus (CM) is a secretion or mucus released by the glands found in and around
the cervix. When you are not ovulating, the cervical mucus will normally appear creamy or
sticky, or not be there at all. During ovulation, there are changes in the amount and consistency
of the mucus. It becomes abundant and more “stretchy,” very similar to the consistency of raw
egg whites.
Tracking your cervical mucus changes is considered to be a very reliable way to tell when
ovulation is taking place. However, women taking certain medications, such as antihistamines
(for allergies) and Clomid (a commonly used fertility drug) may find it difficult to use this
method as a way of tracking ovulation, since these drugs can dry up or alter the appearance of
cervical mucus even during ovulation.

If you happen to be using any medication that may change the consistency of your cervical
mucus, it is not recommended that you track your ovulation exclusively by following this
method.
FREE Basal Body Temperature and Cervical Mucus Chart
I have created a free Basal Body Temperature (BBT) and Cervical Mucus (CM) chart and guide
with full instructions which you can use to track your BBT and CM.
You can download your free BBT and CM Chart with the instructional guide at
http://ineedtogetpregnant.com/free-bbt-cm-chart
There are other methods that can be used to track ovulation, but these are the 5 most basic ones.
It is best to use several of these methods in combination, since that will give you a much higher
chance of tracking your ovulation accurately so you can time sexual intercourse accordingly.
And if you notice that ovulation is not occurring, then that may indicate the reason why you are
not getting pregnant and it would be best for you to bring that up with your physician.
How following this Baby-Making Step helped me
Before I started trying to get pregnant, I had never given much thought to the ovulation process. I
had fairly regular cycles, so I assumed that everything was functioning properly.
It was not until after my third failed IVF cycle, when I decided to begin taking the “more
natural” approach to treating my infertility, that I started paying attention to the changes of my
body throughout my menstrual cycle.
I especially started tracking my BBT and the changes in my cervical mucus. To my surprise I
found out that, despite having a period every month, I wasn’t ovulating every time! No wonder I
wasn’t getting pregnant!
Eventually, once I made the changes in my lifestyle that were necessary to prepare my body for
pregnancy, my ovulation tracking began showing the effect of those changes, and I started
ovulating every month. And finally, in one of those cycles, I got pregnant with my baby girl!

Baby-Making Step #5 – Use the right lubrication
When you are trying to conceive, the closer you are to the natural process, the more likely that
you will not have any type of external element to get in the way of the process of fertilization.
When you are trying to get pregnant, having sex might lose its spontaneity and excitement,
tending to become more of a “chore” with a goal set in your mind. As a result, this may bring
feelings of anxiety and uncertainty, which may lead to vaginal dryness – Something that can
make it more difficult for the sperm to enter the cervix and eventually fertilize the egg.
Many women who experience vaginal dryness while trying to get pregnant will try to solve this
problem by using commercial lubricants and even saliva as a natural lubricant. However, when
it comes to trying to conceive, using the “traditional” lubricants, including saliva, will work
against you, since they tend to harm the sperm or change the vaginal PH. This will actually
reduce your chances of getting pregnant.
Research on personal lubricants has repeatedly shown that sperm motility is dramatically
reduced when it comes into contact with many of the commonly available personal lubricants.
There is a way around this issue and it's by using a "sperm friendly" lubricant, which will
provide the lubrication you need, but without affecting the sperm.
How following this Baby-Making Step helped me
Once again, I had no idea that something as simple as using the wrong lubricant could have such
a negative impact when it comes to trying to conceive.
I did my research and found several brands of these “sperm friendly” lubricants, but the most
common and market-leading product is called "Pre-Seed", which is the product I personally used
and recommend.
You can find and learn more about Pre-Seed at the following link:
 http://ineedtogetpregnant.com/Pre-Seed
Pre-Seed is a "sperm-friendly" lubricant, which provides comfortable, intimate moisture, while
containing a naturally occurring plant sugar that actually helps sperm as they swim their way
towards the egg, making it easier for fertilization to occur.
It is this special formulation of Pre-Seed that not only lubricates, but also helps the sperm swim
more effectively, increasing their chances of reaching and fertilizing the egg.

Baby-Making Step #6 – Climax (WARNING: Adult content )
I’m not joking on this one. This happens to be the baby making step that feels almost like a
bonus!
When you are trying to conceive, actively try to climax after or simultaneously when your
partner ejaculates. After ejaculation, have your partner keep his penis inside you for at least 20
minutes to help the sperm-loaded semen work its way into your vagina.
Those special throbbing and pulsing sensations you get when you climax are there for a very
important reason.
Not only do they feel great, but they also serve the purpose of "wringing" the semen from the
penis, and in this way helping the sperm get properly deposited inside the vagina.
Furthermore, as the climax continues, the sperm are further stimulated to swim deeper towards
the cervix and eventually enter the uterus where they will make their way up the fallopian tubes
and hopefully meet with the egg that has been released.
Note: Many women have difficulties climaxing and especially doing so at will.
If this is your case, do not worry.
Simply have sex and make sure that when your partner ejaculates, he doesn’t pull out
immediately and instead, holds his penis inside you for a period of at least several minutes.
Those extra minutes of lying still with the penis deep inside go a long way towards helping the
little swimmers along on their journey. Plus it’s a great excuse to relax and cuddle with your
partner!
How following this Baby-Making Step helped me
After months of trying to conceive without success, sex had become more of a task than a fun
activity for my husband and myself.
Having climax (and not pregnancy!) as a goal each time we had intercourse, was a way to make
my husband and me get more creative, relax and once again have fun having sex. To some extent
this took off some of the pressure of having intercourse just for the purpose of reproduction,
which can become both physically and mentally draining.
I’m not going to get into much detail here, but all I’ll say is that the month my baby girl was
conceived, my husband and I had fun. A LOT of fun!

Baby-Making Step #7 - Have sex often... Very often!
This is no rocket science: Given that getting pregnant just requires having a single, healthy, live
sperm reach the egg, the more sex you have - the more sperm you'll have available to help
increase your odds.
It is important to know that men have a limited amount of semen available at one time, and there
needs to be a period necessary to replenish their supply. Having sex every other day gives the
man enough time to be ready with a fresh supply of sperm while allowing the number of sperm
available for fertilization in the uterus to remain fairly constant.
Sperm have an average lifespan of 1-2 days (although a few can live up to 4 days inside the
uterus). Having intercourse every other day increases the chances that there will be a good
supply of live sperm readily waiting to meet the egg when ovulation happens.
A good recommended intercourse schedule for trying to conceive is to have sex every other day
starting on the 10th day of your cycle, and going through day 18. This should cover your fertile
window and give the sperm enough time to have made their way to where the egg will be upon
release.
How following this Baby-Making Step helped me
Before finding out about this, I thought that it was just necessary to have intercourse on the day
of ovulation. However, as I became more familiar with my cycles, I noticed that sometimes I
would ovulate a day or 2 sooner, and other times a day or 2 later than on the “standard” day 14 of
my cycle.
By following this intercourse schedule, it was easier to ensure that there would be live sperm
ready to fertilize the egg. And eventually that’s exactly what happened… And I have my baby
girl as proof!

  • 4. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 4 Introduction If you are reading this it is, perhaps, because you fall into one (or both) of these categories:  You’ve been trying to get pregnant for some time (months, maybe years) and you haven’t been able to.  You really want a baby, have been doing all the “right” things you’ve been told you should do for that, yet, for some reason, you have not been able to conceive. I know the struggle you are dealing with – I’ve been in your shoes. I went through the same dark time that you may be facing as I fought against my infertility for years. No matter what the doctors tried or how much I paid for my treatments, every month was the same thing... I got my period and no pregnancy, or even worse, I got pregnant only to lose the pregnancy a few weeks afterward. Not being able to have a baby is an empty, sad and lonely roller-coaster of emotions as you deal month after month with the uncertainty and fleeting hope of whether this is finally the month where the “dry spell” will end and you will succeed in getting pregnant. Having dealt with infertility and consulted with multiple leading infertility specialists who prescribed and put me through tens of thousands of dollars of medical treatments which didn’t work – I felt completely lost. (Click here to read my story.) I wished that someone could simply tell me what was wrong and give me a formula that could help take me out of the vacuum I was stuck in. I prayed for some sort of divine inspiration or guidance and after almost three years of “failure to conceive,” I learned about a series of eastern medicine treatments, holistic wellness and sexual guidelines that helped me finally get my wish. I got pregnant, had a perfectly healthy pregnancy and gave birth to my adored daughter. I’ve written and I’m sharing with you this report, as the report I wish I’d been handed myself when I was dealing with my own infertility. It contains 7 baby-making secrets that could have helped me get pregnant far sooner and would have saved me multiple years of anguish and many thousands of wasted dollars in fertility treatments. Read these guidelines and adopt them into your baby-making routine. Each of these 7 steps I’m presenting will by itself help increase your chances of conceiving, but when combined they maximize their individual effects. At the end of each step, I’ll present you with my own particular case, and how following the recommendations helped me achieve my healthy, happy pregnancy.
  • 5. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 5 It doesn’t matter how long you may have been trying or how many other methods you may have tried and failed. This method can help you and I encourage you to try these seven steps as part of your baby-making routine. They worked for me after multiple failures, losses and thousands of dollars in medical treatments that did not yield results, and they have worked for countless women worldwide. I also encourage you to check out the book “Pregnancy Miracle” by Lisa Olson which was the book that literally changed my life and opened up my eyes to a whole new way of looking at infertility as well as how I could beat it. I’ve published my own story and how this book affected my life on my website. I invite you to read the story and encourage you to read the book – it helped me get my daughter and it may also help you get your own baby. One more thing that I would like to mention: While you are going through infertility, many times it may seem as if you are the only person in the world who has been “cursed” with such condition. In our current times, infertility is still a taboo subject, and many women feel shame or embarrassment over their inability to conceive. In reality, infertility is far more common than you may think. Unfortunately I learned this after I had my baby girl, when I found the courage to start opening up about my challenges trying to conceive to other “mommy friends” and women who were trying to get pregnant. This is why I’m telling this to you right now, from the very beginning. You are not alone! At this precise moment, there are countless women all over the world experiencing the same pain and frustration you are feeling from not being able to get pregnant. It’s just that they are not openly talking about it! However, you now have a distinct advantage. You and I have met and now I have the opportunity to tell you what I did and what I’ve learned about beating infertility and getting pregnant. There is hope – more than you can imagine. Having experienced it first hand and learned what I was doing wrong, allowed me to change my habits and try a different approach which worked for me.

INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 6 The book you are now reading is my way of sharing with you my experiences and the lessons I’ve learned over the course of my infertility and my eventual triumph over it. I hope my words and these 7 Baby-Making Steps bring you closer to your goal of having that beautiful baby of your own in your arms. That is my most sincere wish and what I have made my life’s mission at INeedtoGetPregnant.com Good luck – I’m sending you lots of baby dust and wishing you a happy, healthy 9 months!
  • 7. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 7 The 7 Baby-Making Steps Baby-Making Step #1 - Improve your lifestyle Pregnancy is one period in which women tend to go through several changes, since the body needs to adjust to the new life inside the womb. For this, a mother has to be prepared both mentally and physically, as there will be a lot of strain put on her body during the 9-month journey. If you are trying to get pregnant, you have to be ready to start the preparation process for your body to be able to provide the adequate environment for your baby, even if this means having to change your lifestyle. The 4 key areas you need to focus on when looking to be well-prepared for this stage include: - Stopping any negative habits that may affect your pregnancy. - Making sure you feed yourself well with healthy foods and take the right supplements for your body. - Exercise and stay fit. - Get enough rest. #1 Stopping Your Negative Habits There are many reasons why you should choose to get rid of the bad habits in your life. Consuming things such as alcohol, cigarettes and drugs has many negative effects on your health. The moment you quit the consumption of these things, your body will start to benefit and you will feel the difference. After all, you want to be healthy, especially once you decide that it is time to have a baby. Stopping any negative habits you may currently have will, for starters, dramatically increase your chances of getting pregnant. The reason is simple - for normal ovulation to take place, your body needs to be as healthy as possible. Another reason to quit alcohol and cigarettes is the fact that they can increase the risk of a miscarriage since they affect how your body works and disturb its natural hormonal balance. Cigarettes in general are detrimental to your health. There is not a single benefit that comes from smoking them, and they have been linked to decreased fetal size in pregnant women who smoke. If you smoke, you should quit this habit the minute you begin to think about getting pregnant.
  • 8. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 8 At the moment, there is no conclusive evidence on how alcohol affects ovulation and the process of getting pregnant. However, excessive intake is known to negatively effect your health in general, so you are better off quitting alcohol altogether. There are some studies that have also identified excessive caffeine as a danger to fertility. Although they may not be conclusive, women who are looking to get pregnant are advised to keep the caffeine level below 200 mg a day. #2 Eat healthy foods and take the right vitamins and supplements Once you have quit any negative habits you may have, you need to step it up a notch when it comes to improving your overall well-being. Your body needs food to function and this is why you need to consume a healthy diet. You need to eat healthy, wholesome foods, especially when looking to get pregnant. You should consume well-balanced meals three times a day and you may add two healthy snacks in between meals. It is also important that you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables since they contain nutrients that play a major role during pregnancy. These include (but are not limited to): 1. Calcium 2. Vitamin D 3. Folic acid 4. Iron Of all these, it is especially important that you consume the right amount of folic acid, since it has been proven that adequate consumption of this nutrient helps prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida. You need to consume at least 400 mcg of folic acid daily to ensure the healthy development of your baby. There are different supplements rich in folic acid out there that are available for women looking to get pregnant. And always make sure you are taking your pre-natal vitamin. I personally took (and still take) New Chapter Perfect Prenatal. In addition to my prenatal vitamin, I opted to also take a female fertility supplement called FertilAid, which can help women who have irregular periods get regular again and improve their fertility. However, always remember that despite using supplements, you still need to continue eating a healthy and balanced diet. #3 Exercise and staying fit A healthy body means a healthy pregnancy and this usually takes more than just quitting bad habits and eating a healthy diet. To achieve this, you also need to exercise and stay fit. Regular exercise helps you maintain stamina, flexibility and strength. These factors ensure that you are able to: - Maintain a positive mood and good energy level.
  • 9. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 9 - Strengthen your body muscles, especially to prevent back pains and improve posture, which will be affected by the physical changes of pregnancy. - Maintain an optimal hormonal balance. - Reach your optimal weight to conceive. - Enjoy your healthy pregnancy. Some of the daily activities you can do as exercise to prepare your body for pregnancy include walking or cycling to work, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking or jogging first thing in the morning, participating in light group fitness classes such as yoga, Pilates and low- impact aerobics. On the flip side, make sure you do not over-do it... Too much of a good thing can have negative effects too! Excessive exercise puts the body into a state of constant stress that can end up preventing ovulation. The guideline is everything in moderation... Which leads me to... #4 Get Some Good Rest Rest is equally as important during pregnancy as the rest of the factors we have discussed so far. The body has to get used to carrying that new life inside the womb. Many studies have been conducted to see the relationship between sleep patterns and ovulation. It has been found that around 80 to 90 percent of the ovulation cases take place between midnight and 4 a.m. (Robert Greene, M.D., author of Perfect Hormone Balance for Fertility: The Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant (Three Rivers Press, 2008). So it is in your best interest that you are well-rested while your body is “working” on ovulating. As much as you cannot really influence how the whole ovulation process takes place, good sleep is within your reach. This is something you can work on and ensure that you get plenty of. I personally suggest that you get between 7-8 hours of sleep at night, and, if possible, try to go to bed no later than 10:00 PM. In the long run, this will boost your chances of getting pregnant. How following this Baby-Making Step helped me Before I even thought of getting pregnant, I believed I was living a relatively healthy lifestyle. I ate what I believed to be “healthy” foods (lots of “low-fat”, “reduced calorie”, “sugar free/fat free” labeled foods.) I also exercised a lot. Being a fitness professional myself, required me to teach 2-4 group fitness classes daily, 5-6 days a week, and I used to exercise on my own in addition to teaching all those classes! Due to my teaching schedule, I used to sleep an average of 5-6 hours a night, and during the weekend I would “make up” for the lost sleep sometimes sleeping up to 10 hours straight.
  • 10. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 10 I never smoked, but I used to be a social drinker and I consumed high amounts of caffeine (to make up for the sleep deprivation.) I couldn’t even think of starting my day without at least 2-3 cups of coffee! So, as you can see, what I considered to be a “healthy” lifestyle really wasn’t optimal to help me get pregnant. I then decided to stop eating processed, packaged food and started including more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, poultry and fish on my diet, consuming mostly organic products when possible. I also stopped consuming caffeine and limited my alcohol intake to the extremely special social occasions (a toast at a good friend’s wedding, a small glass of red wine at a relative’s birthday party, etc.) I cut down my exercise dramatically, limiting myself to no more than 6 hours of intense physical activity per week and no more than an hour a day (and yes, this included giving up many classes that I used to teach.) Finally, I started going to bed earlier and sleeping between 7-8 hours each night, weekends included, without under or oversleeping. Within weeks I started noticing the change. I felt more energized and happy, and I knew then that all these changes would eventually help me get pregnant.
  • 11. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 11 Baby-Making Step #2 - Optimize Your Weight for Pregnancy When it comes to getting pregnant and increasing your chances of conception, being either overweight or underweight can have a negative effect on your hormonal balance. By having a hormonal imbalance caused by being off your ideal weight, you can potentially reduce your odds of ovulating. As you may imagine, if you do not ovulate, you cannot get pregnant. Furthermore, being too fat or too thin can also raise the risks of having complications in your pregnancy. Reaching your healthiest weight Your goal for a target weight to increase your chances of conception is to reach a body mass index (BMI) of 19 to 25. There are many BMI calculators available for free on the Internet, and the process is merely a mathematical formula of calculating your weight vs. your height. The process of BMI calculation is somewhat inaccurate and may vary depending on your body composition (muscle mass vs. fat), but for our purposes in getting you pregnant, the standard BMI calculation will go a long way to giving you an idea of where you should be on your weight for getting pregnant. If you've been having irregular periods and your BMI is 30 or above, try to reduce your BMI. Simply losing 10-20 percent of your BMI can help you regulate your menstrual cycle and effectively increase your chances of conceiving. To drop your weight, do not go on a dramatic, hyper-restrictive diet as this can also lower your body’s nutritional reserves and make it even harder for you to get pregnant. Your goal should be to lose between 1 to 2 pounds per week which is a safe range for you to achieve healthy weight loss. If your issue is being far too thin, and you have a BMI below 19, you will need to put on some weight in order to increase your chances of conception and have your body be prepared to handle pregnancy. An extremely low BMI can lead to irregular periods and, in extreme cases, amenorrhea (the absence of your period) which also presents a big problem when trying to conceive. The same way that it's not recommended that you starve in order to lose weight, it's best to not stuff yourself or load up on junk, fatty food to gain additional weight quickly. Put on a few extra pounds gradually by eating larger portions of healthy foods, and make sure that you are consuming the vitamins and minerals you'll need in order to have a healthier, well-
  • 12. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 12 nourished body. And if you can’t gain weight because you are exercising too much, try switching to less intense workouts, such as walking or gentle yoga. How following this Baby-Making Step helped me I have to admit that I was guilty of not following this step from the very beginning. As a fitness professional, I was under constant pressure to maintain a “hard body,” which translated into having a low BMI. At 5’4” tall, I used to weight barely 107 lbs., which corresponded to a BMI of 18.4. When I had my third failed IVF round I decided to make a change in my lifestyle, allowing myself to gain a little weight (3½ pounds to be exact) and reach my target BMI of 19. Just those 3½ pounds made an enormous difference in my health and my body! My cycles became shorter and more regular (I went from having 32-35 day cycles to having 27-28 day cycles). I had more energy and even was able to sleep better! Ok, so my “skinny jeans” didn’t fit as perfectly as before (though I was still able to squeeze myself in them,) but then again, who needs “skinny jeans” and 6-pack abs when pregnant, right? In summary, to maximize your chances of getting pregnant, make sure that you are neither too heavy nor too skinny. To conceive, you'll have to be at a healthy weight for you and most important, for the new baby that you’ll be carrying inside you for an entire 9 months.
  • 13. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 13 Baby-Making Step #3 - Avoid Gluten One of the big “secret topics” in the field of infertility is the prevalence of gluten sensitivity among women and its negative effects on fertility. For starters, when most people hear of someone eliminating gluten from their diets, the first reaction is to ask if that person has Celiac disease. While going gluten-free is an absolute must for people who are celiac, many women also have a milder form of gluten sensitivity which has been shown to have a negative effect on fertility and a decrease on a woman's ability to ovulate.(G.F. Meloni, S. Dessole, N. Vargiu, P.A. Tomasi and S. Musumeci. 1999. The prevalence of coeliac disease in infertility, European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. Vol. 14, No. 11, 2759-2761) Going gluten-free takes some work, but once you do it, you will start to notice improvements not only in your periods but also in many other aspects of your overall health. Things such as increased energy, having a smoother, clearer complexion, and easier digestion, are quite common, as well as an overall improvement in mood. One thing to note in going gluten-free when trying to get pregnant is that you must completely cut out gluten from all sources. There are many foods that contain gluten even if you think they are gluten-free. Things such as soy sauce, products with barley, rye, wheat and many other products that may come into contact with other sources of gluten just from the manufacturing process. In the case of increasing your fertility and getting pregnant, there is no such thing as simply "reducing the amount of gluten you consume" - you need to eliminate it completely. Unlike other unhealthy substances, such as refined sugars and saturated fats, where simply reducing the amount consumed has a positive impact in your health – gluten is an “all or nothing” deal. One microgram of gluten in a gluten-sensitive person can trigger the same immune response as an entire bowl of wheat cereal. And in order to clear up the immune reaction to gluten from your body, it is necessary to go completely gluten-free for several weeks at least. And just one tiny taste of it and you’ll need to start from zero all over again. Because of this, it is very important that you read products’ labels carefully, and preferably consume only those labeled specifically as “gluten-free.” Even better, if you reduce your intake of processed foods and choose instead fresh, naturally gluten-free foods (such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, poultry and fish) it will be much easier to eliminate gluten from your diet. Fortunately, due to the increase in gluten allergies and Celiac disease, there are more and more products made with gluten-free ingredients with very strict manufacturing guidelines to avoid cross-contamination with gluten.
  • 14. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 14 And one very important thing to consider: While going gluten-free may help you get pregnant, it is NOT necessary to remain gluten-free once you are already pregnant and have a viable pregnancy. So if you happen to find this step a bit challenging, just remember that, unless you have been officially diagnosed with Celiac disease or a severe intolerance or allergy to gluten, you will be able to enjoy foods with gluten in the future. How following this Baby-Making Step helped me My initial reaction when I found out about gluten and its effects on infertility was pure shock. The first thing I did was request to get tested for Celiac disease. My test came back negative for Celiac, but I found out that there are many people who, despite testing negative for Celiac disease, still have gluten allergies and gluten sensitivities. Although being sensitive to gluten may not be severe enough to completely cause distress in your life, it can still cause subtle problems such as constipation, acne, low energy and irritability. And I happened to have every single one of those “subtle” symptoms. When I started paying attention to my gluten intake, I discovered that every single meal I had (including snacks) contained gluten! I basically had to modify my entire diet, in some cases finding gluten-free alternatives (such as gluten-free breads) to eliminating the consumption altogether of other foods (such as ready-to-eat microwave meals – I found the gluten-free versions not very tasty or appealing.) It took me approximately 4-5 weeks to feel the impact that going gluten-free had in my overall health. My skin cleared up, my energy level dramatically increased (I was actually happy to start my days bright and early in the morning, even on weekends!) and I stopped needing to nap in the middle of the day. I also had more energy to go grocery shopping and to cook my own gluten- free meals, which is perhaps what made the most impact in my overall health. Sure, going gluten-free was not easy, especially at the beginning, but once I started feeling the effects I embraced that lifestyle completely. I enjoyed every single gluten-free meal I ate, especially because, after feeling the difference that eliminating gluten from my diet had in my health, I had a feeling it would help me get pregnant soon. And it did.
  • 15. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 15 Baby-Making Step #4 - Track Your Ovulation Some healthy and fertile women are unable to get pregnant due to wrong timing of sexual intercourse. To get pregnant, you have to make sure that you have sex at the time you are ovulating since that can greatly increase your chances of conceiving. It is therefore important that you are able to identify the basic signs of ovulation so that you can achieve this goal. One of the most accurate ways to measure ovulation is to use a professional ovulation predictor kit. These kits will measure the levels of hormone in your urine and will be able to let you known when you are ovulating. If in fact you use one of these kits, I highly recommend that you start having sex 2 days before the predictor kit says positive. The reason is because the sperm need to swim and reach the egg in time for when the ovulation takes place. By having sex 2 days prior to ovulation, you give the sperm enough time to reach the egg and be able to fertilize it when it's ready. Keep in mind also that, under optimal conditions, sperm can survive inside the uterus for up to 3- 4 days, while, once an egg is ovulated, it roughly has a life span of 12-24 hours. This is why it increases your chances of conceiving if you have sperm “waiting” for the egg by the time you ovulate. In addition to using an ovulation predictor kit, the following are 5 ways of knowing when you are ovulating. 1. Increased desire for sex Studies show that most women experience increased sexual desire a few days before ovulation. This is actually the appropriate time that you should have sex if you want to get pregnant. The increased sexual desire is brought about by an increase in the level of sex hormones in the body during this period. It is also a natural adaptation of your body to ensure that conception takes place. However, it is important to note that sexual desire can diminish even at this time if you are going through a period of anxiety, stress or depression, all which can commonly be experienced by someone going through infertility. If this is your case, it is important that you deal first with these problems so that your sexual desire doesn’t get negatively affected. Finding fun distractions, practicing meditation, and in some cases, group or individual therapy sessions may be extremely helpful to help you cope with stress and anxiety in your life.
  • 16. INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 16 2. Tenderness of breasts Some women may experience some breast tenderness before and after ovulation. This sensation is caused by the increased level of hormones necessary to prepare the body for pregnancy. However, this may also occur shortly before menstruation. Fertility drugs may also cause this tenderness. While breast tenderness can be experienced prior to ovulation, it is not recommended to be used as the only method of tracking ovulation, since it can be affected by several other factors. 3. Changes in the position of the cervix The position of the cervix may change shortly before ovulation. It moves a bit higher and becomes more open and softer. You can try to feel the difference through regular practice. Before and after ovulation, the cervix (which feels like the tip or your nose) is usually positioned low and closed. Once ovulation is close, the cervix rises and opens/softens to allow for sperm to enter more easily. Tracking ovulation through this method requires some practice, but it can help you if you are not able to see any difference in the amount and consistency of your cervical mucus, such as when taking medications. We will talk more about cervical mucus a little further ahead. 4. Changes in the basal body temperature Your basal body temperature (BBT) is the temperature of your body at rest. During the first part of your cycle the hormone progesterone remains at relatively low levels. However, after ovulation occurs, progesterone levels rise, and this causes your BBT to rise and remain high for some time, usually about 14 days after ovulation. You can use a BBT chart and a specialized BBT thermometer to track your cycle and determine when and if you are ovulating. 5. Changes in the cervical mucus Your Cervical Mucus (CM) is a secretion or mucus released by the glands found in and around the cervix. When you are not ovulating, the cervical mucus will normally appear creamy or sticky, or not be there at all. During ovulation, there are changes in the amount and consistency of the mucus. It becomes abundant and more “stretchy,” very similar to the consistency of raw egg whites. Tracking your cervical mucus changes is considered to be a very reliable way to tell when ovulation is taking place. However, women taking certain medications, such as antihistamines (for allergies) and Clomid (a commonly used fertility drug) may find it difficult to use this method as a way of tracking ovulation, since these drugs can dry up or alter the appearance of cervical mucus even during ovulation.

FREE Basal Body Temperature and Cervical Mucus Chart I have created a free Basal Body Temperature (BBT) and Cervical Mucus (CM) chart and guide with full instructions which you can use to track your BBT and CM. You can download your free BBT and CM Chart with the instructional guide at http://ineedtogetpregnant.com/free-bbt-cm-chart There are other methods that can be used to track ovulation, but these are the 5 most basic ones. It is best to use several of these methods in combination, since that will give you a much higher chance of tracking your ovulation accurately so you can time sexual intercourse accordingly. And if you notice that ovulation is not occurring, then that may indicate the reason why you are not getting pregnant and it would be best for you to bring that up with your physician. How following this Baby-Making Step helped me Before I started trying to get pregnant, I had never given much thought to the ovulation process. I had fairly regular cycles, so I assumed that everything was functioning properly. It was not until after my third failed IVF cycle, when I decided to begin taking the “more natural” approach to treating my infertility, that I started paying attention to the changes of my body throughout my menstrual cycle. I especially started tracking my BBT and the changes in my cervical mucus. To my surprise I found out that, despite having a period every month, I wasn’t ovulating every time! No wonder I wasn’t getting pregnant! Eventually, once I made the changes in my lifestyle that were necessary to prepare my body for pregnancy, my ovulation tracking began showing the effect of those changes, and I started ovulating every month. And finally, in one of those cycles, I got pregnant with my baby girl!

INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 18 Baby-Making Step #5 – Use the right lubrication When you are trying to conceive, the closer you are to the natural process, the more likely that you will not have any type of external element to get in the way of the process of fertilization. When you are trying to get pregnant, having sex might lose its spontaneity and excitement, tending to become more of a “chore” with a goal set in your mind. As a result, this may bring feelings of anxiety and uncertainty, which may lead to vaginal dryness – Something that can make it more difficult for the sperm to enter the cervix and eventually fertilize the egg. Many women who experience vaginal dryness while trying to get pregnant will try to solve this problem by using commercial lubricants and even saliva as a natural lubricant. However, when it comes to trying to conceive, using the “traditional” lubricants, including saliva, will work against you, since they tend to harm the sperm or change the vaginal PH. This will actually reduce your chances of getting pregnant. Research on personal lubricants has repeatedly shown that sperm motility is dramatically reduced when it comes into contact with many of the commonly available personal lubricants. There is a way around this issue and it's by using a "sperm friendly" lubricant, which will provide the lubrication you need, but without affecting the sperm. How following this Baby-Making Step helped me Once again, I had no idea that something as simple as using the wrong lubricant could have such a negative impact when it comes to trying to conceive. I did my research and found several brands of these “sperm friendly” lubricants, but the most common and market-leading product is called "Pre-Seed", which is the product I personally used and recommend. You can find and learn more about Pre-Seed at the following link:  http://ineedtogetpregnant.com/Pre-Seed Pre-Seed is a "sperm-friendly" lubricant, which provides comfortable, intimate moisture, while containing a naturally occurring plant sugar that actually helps sperm as they swim their way towards the egg, making it easier for fertilization to occur. It is this special formulation of Pre-Seed that not only lubricates, but also helps the sperm swim more effectively, increasing their chances of reaching and fertilizing the egg.

INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 19 Baby-Making Step #6 – Climax (WARNING: Adult content ) I’m not joking on this one. This happens to be the baby making step that feels almost like a bonus! When you are trying to conceive, actively try to climax after or simultaneously when your partner ejaculates. After ejaculation, have your partner keep his penis inside you for at least 20 minutes to help the sperm-loaded semen work its way into your vagina. Those special throbbing and pulsing sensations you get when you climax are there for a very important reason. Not only do they feel great, but they also serve the purpose of "wringing" the semen from the penis, and in this way helping the sperm get properly deposited inside the vagina. Furthermore, as the climax continues, the sperm are further stimulated to swim deeper towards the cervix and eventually enter the uterus where they will make their way up the fallopian tubes and hopefully meet with the egg that has been released. Note: Many women have difficulties climaxing and especially doing so at will. If this is your case, do not worry. Simply have sex and make sure that when your partner ejaculates, he doesn’t pull out immediately and instead, holds his penis inside you for a period of at least several minutes. Those extra minutes of lying still with the penis deep inside go a long way towards helping the little swimmers along on their journey. Plus it’s a great excuse to relax and cuddle with your partner! How following this Baby-Making Step helped me After months of trying to conceive without success, sex had become more of a task than a fun activity for my husband and myself. Having climax (and not pregnancy!) as a goal each time we had intercourse, was a way to make my husband and me get more creative, relax and once again have fun having sex. To some extent this took off some of the pressure of having intercourse just for the purpose of reproduction, which can become both physically and mentally draining. I’m not going to get into much detail here, but all I’ll say is that the month my baby girl was conceived, my husband and I had fun. A LOT of fun!

INeedtoGetPregnant.com Your guide to beating infertility, getting pregnant naturally and giving birth to healthy babies. http://INeedToGetPregnant.com 20 Baby-Making Step #7 - Have sex often... Very often! This is no rocket science: Given that getting pregnant just requires having a single, healthy, live sperm reach the egg, the more sex you have - the more sperm you'll have available to help increase your odds. It is important to know that men have a limited amount of semen available at one time, and there needs to be a period necessary to replenish their supply. Having sex every other day gives the man enough time to be ready with a fresh supply of sperm while allowing the number of sperm available for fertilization in the uterus to remain fairly constant. Sperm have an average lifespan of 1-2 days (although a few can live up to 4 days inside the uterus). Having intercourse every other day increases the chances that there will be a good supply of live sperm readily waiting to meet the egg when ovulation happens. A good recommended intercourse schedule for trying to conceive is to have sex every other day starting on the 10th day of your cycle, and going through day 18. This should cover your fertile window and give the sperm enough time to have made their way to where the egg will be upon release. How following this Baby-Making Step helped me Before finding out about this, I thought that it was just necessary to have intercourse on the day of ovulation. However, as I became more familiar with my cycles, I noticed that sometimes I would ovulate a day or 2 sooner, and other times a day or 2 later than on the “standard” day 14 of my cycle. By following this intercourse schedule, it was easier to ensure that there would be live sperm ready to fertilize the egg. And eventually that’s exactly what happened… And I have my baby girl as proof! One Additional Thought: On The Road Ahead… You Take the Next Step.
