<p><a href="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/making-a-woman-orgasm-4-e1326057088705.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-91" title="the female orgasm and fertility" src="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/making-a-woman-orgasm-4-e1326057152110.jpg" alt="" width="569" height="329" /></a></p>
<p>When a couple is trying to get pregnant, it&#8217;s very easy for the act of sex to become mechanical, particularly for those couples that have been struggling for some time. After all, how erotic is making love to a calendar?</p>
<ul id="internal-source-marker_0.6105726224755829">
<li><strong>foreplay get forgotten</strong></li>
<li><strong>your sex loses its spark</strong></li>
<li><strong>you’re distracted with menstrual cycles</strong></li>
<li><strong>you’re bored with sperm counts</strong></li>
<li><strong>you’re preoccupied with ovulation</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>All that stuff is <strong>terrible</strong> for your lovemaking!</p>
<p>And while you may think that your sex life losing its spark is a small and temporary price to pay in order to get pregnant, this problem may actually be <strong><em>preventing</em></strong> your pregnancy.</p>
<p><span id="more-88"></span>Mundane, mechanical sex often results in the loss of the female orgasm, and the female orgasm is more important than you might realize if you want to conceive as fast as possible.</p>
<h2>Why It&#8217;s Vital You Orgasm After Sex</h2>
<p>It goes without saying that the male orgasm is essential to conception; in order to ejaculate his semen into the vagina he must achieve orgasm. The female orgasm, however, may be just as vital. Here&#8217;s why.</p>
<p>When a woman achieves orgasm, her cervix contracts, causing it to dip in and out of the vagina. If the male has already ejaculated at this point then his semen will lie dormant in this area. The dipping movement of the cervix will therefore draw in the semen, assisting it on its journey towards the egg.</p>
<p>For couples that routinely engage in foreplay to the point of female orgasm, there&#8217;s no reason to discontinue this. In fact, a female orgasm prior to intercourse has <strong>many</strong> benefits, the most important of which is the natural lubrication of the vagina that makes the entire vagina more hospitable to sperm.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s <strong><em>vital</em></strong>, though, is that female orgasm is achieved <strong><em>after</em></strong> the male orgasm, in order to benefit from the cervical dips into the semen-rich vagina. Couples that wish to maximize their chances of conception should therefore ensure that the female partner orgasms sometime soon after the male ejaculates.</p>
<p>This orgasm can be through masturbation or partner-lead stimulation, as long as the female partner remains on her back or on all fours to ensure maximum sperm retention in the vagina.</p>
<h2>5 Sex Tips To Help You Conceive</h2>
<p>So if you want to immediately increase your chances of getting pregnant during each of your cycles, here are a few steps you can start taking with your love making from this point on:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>keep sex exciting with varied positions</strong></li>
<li><strong>don’t obsess over every aspect of sex &#8211; just get the basics right</strong></li>
<li><strong>engage in foreplay &#8211; doing so increases your chances of getting pregnant every time you have sex</strong></li>
<li><strong>do everything you can to orgasm after sex while you’re still lying on your back</strong></li>
<li><strong>for extra credit, do your best to orgasm before sex too &#8211; it has tons of fertility-boosting benefits</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Stick to these simple tips and you can feel confident that you&#8217;re doing absolutely everything in the bedroom that you can be doing to get pregnant. And as a bonus, your lovemaking will stay fun and pleasurable too &#8211; because it should always be fun for you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/couple-kissing-in-bed.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-55" title="couple-kissing-in-bed" src="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/couple-kissing-in-bed-e1322832792422.jpg" alt="" width="575" height="383" /></a></p>
<p>Despite research being in its early stages, there is already considerable evidence that sexual arousal and feelings of love and intimacy can dramatically improve fertility.</p>
<p>Researchers began this investigation based on behavior in certain animals whose desire for mating is triggered to coincide with the females ovulation. Research has shown that, on a subconscious level, men and women are the same.</p>
<p><span id="more-51"></span>Men, for example, are believed to instinctively sense when a woman is entering her most fertile phase of her monthly cycle.</p>
<h2>Sexual Instincts and Fertility</h2>
<p><a href="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/on-switch.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62" title="on-switch" src="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/on-switch-e1322833885250.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="317" /></a></p>
<p>In response to this, men undergo a series of biochemical changes of their own, subconsciously stimulating their need for sex.</p>
<p>Women pick up on this stimulation and become stimulated themselves, and so sexual intercourse is encouraged at the most fertile period in the month.</p>
<p>This idea is reinforced by women whose sexual arousal is heightened at the midpoint of their cycle, when ovulation is taking place and their hormones are in overdrive.</p>
<p>Men, in return, often feel more sexually stimulated by their partners at this same point in the cycle.</p>
<p>Fertility can also be heightened, in addition to sexual desires, if you have a loving, caring, and emotionally fulfilling relationship with your partner.</p>
<h2>Loving Sex Increases Fertility</h2>
<p><a href="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/holding_hands-1418-e1322834267686.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65" title="holding_hands-1418" src="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/holding_hands-1418-e1322834307647.jpg" alt="" width="575" height="353" /></a></p>
<p>There are many cases of women with a history of infertility who have not had a menstrual cycle in years. These women then meet and fall in love with the man of their dreams and suddenly go into spontaneous ovulation.</p>
<p>Do not underestimate the emotional affects of love and contentment on your fertility.</p>
<p>There is growing evidence that when you feel happy, secure, cared for, loved, and your sex life is fulfilling, your fertility can soar.</p>
<p>This link between a general sense of well-being and increased fertility is due to the hypothalamus gland, which is responsible for production and secretion of all the reproductive hormones.</p>
<h2>Your Emotions and Fertility</h2>
<p><a href="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/pregnant.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-68" title="pregnant" src="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/pregnant-e1322834456500.jpg" alt="" width="575" height="413" /></a></p>
<p>The hypothalamus gland is extremely sensitive to emotional changes, and when you’re happy and contented it works to its full potential, producing the reproductive hormones at the optimal levels.</p>
<p>When you’re unhappy or depressed, its functionality can suffer a marked decrease, which has an immediate knock-on effect for your fertility. This is believed by many to be the most dominant factor in all cases of unexplained infertility.</p>
<p>Besides emotions, there is another factor that can cause striking changes to the efficiency of the hypothalamus gland, and that factor is endorphins.</p>
<p>Endorphins are chemicals manufactured by the body to dull pain and heighten the ability to experience pleasure.</p>
<p>An emotionally and physically rewarding sexual relationship with your partner will result in increased levels of endorphins throughout your body, and therefore benefit your hypothalamus gland, maximizing its ability to communicate vital reproductive signals with the pituitary gland.</p>
<p>The result? A higher reproductive potential, and the best chance to get pregnant as fast as possible!</p>
<h2>The Takeaway</h2>
<p>Better sex is more likely to get you pregnant &#8211; period.</p>
<p>Too many couples who have been struggling to get pregnant for months or even years make the huge mistake of letting their sex get stale and boring. They see sex as a requirement for getting pregnant, and not something that should be enjoyed and cherished.</p>
<p>And the crazy thing is, this very mistake is likely to decrease you fertility.</p>
<p>So use what I&#8217;ve talked about in this post as an excuse to make sexual pleasure and enjoyment a priority for both you and your partner. It&#8217;ll increase your chances of getting pregnant, and as a bonus your sex life will improve too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/peas.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28" title="peas" src="http://youcangetpregnant.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/peas-e1322778874869.jpg" alt="" width="575" height="186" /></a></p>
<p>When you’ve been struggling for some time to get pregnant, and you believe you’ve tried everything, then you must begin to eliminate every potential mistake you might be making – no matter how small or trivial it may seem.</p>
<p>Some of these small changes can produce incredible results, especially when enough of these small changes are made together.</p>
<p><span id="more-25"></span>And there’s no better place to start making these small changes than with your diet. You are what you eat, after all!</p>
<p>One of the foods you can eliminate from your diet right now to immediately give a boost to your fertility levels are peas.</p>
<h2>The Danger of Eating Peas</h2>
<p>Many women and men eat peas regularly, and since they’re generally a very healthy vegetable that’s not surprising. But the truth is that peas are incredibly damaging to fertility levels. This isn’t something that’s always been known, and it’s not something that’s common knowledge – that’s why so many of us make the mistake of eating them while we try to conceive.</p>
<p>It was actually an accident that led to the discovery about peas. And believe it or not, the discovery was made in Tibet.</p>
<p>Scientists noticed that Tibet had one of the slowest-growing population rates on Earth. And these same scientists began to suspect that peas may be to blame. That’s because the pea is a staple food in Tibet, and is consumed in large amounts.</p>
<p>Researchers around the world began to study this theory, and not long after they discovered a natural chemical in peas with strong anti-fertility effects. But even the researchers couldn’t believe just how strong an effect this chemical was having.</p>
<h2>Peas Are Nature&#8217;s Contraceptive</h2>
<p>When they gave this chemical to women in capsules the pregnancy rate dropped by an incredible 60 percent almost overnight. The effect was so immediate and so strong that many Asian countries began extracting the chemical from peas and using it as a contraceptive.</p>
<p>It even affected men. Because when men took the chemical their sperm counts plummeted by a massive 50 percent.</p>
<p>Despite these shocking discoveries, it’s taken some time for the ideas to reach the western world.  But slowly we’re beginning to realise how deadly peas can be to our chances of becoming pregnant.</p>
<p>This is largely thanks to some studies carried out recently in the United States that confirmed what the researchers had been trying to tell us for years – that peas have the potential to completely prevent conception, and should therefore be avoided entirely until after your baby is born.</p>
<h2>The Takeaway</h2>
<p>There are lots of things you can do to increase your changes of getting pregnant, and some of them are tough changes to make.</p>
<p>But there are other changes to make that are simple, and that makes it a sin if you continue to make them. It&#8217;s super-simple to stop eating peas, and this one simple change might be the key to finally getting pregnant.</p>
<p>So no more peas!</p>
