There are many ways a woman can increase her chances of
getting pregnant. Sometimes it can be as simple as having sex more frequently
or as difficult as needing to go through IVF procedures. Whichever one it may
be there will always be ways in which you can have a child if you truly want
to. In this blog post I will be talking about some of the more popular
alternatives that women choose when they are having a difficult time
conceiving.

| Fertility drugs |
One of the first things that should be done when you have
had no success in getting pregnant is go see your gynecologist. With a couple
of tests he can determine if the problem is you or your partner. If the doctor
has examined you and decides you need some help he will most likely prescribe
you fertility drugs depending on what might be wrong. Fertility drugs work by
releasing hormones that speed up ovulation as well as increasing the egg
production. This drug is convenient for
women whose poor ovulation is the cause for not getting pregnant. It has a
success rate of almost 50% and is relatively low in cost as well as convenient
to take.

| How sperm is inserted in uterus. |
Another common alternative that we hear a bout a lot is
artificial insemination. This is when bought sperm or stored sperm is directly
inserted into the woman’s uterus through a thin catheter. In order to increase
the chances of a woman getting pregnant most doctors recommend taking fertility
drugs at the same time. This is commonly used when there are problems with the
sperm getting to the egg whether it is because the man has low sperm count or
because the woman’s mucus is not the proper condition for the sperm to survive
in. This procedure is done in cycles and it is most successful after the sixth
cycle.

| Simplified version of IVF |
IVF or In Vitro Fertilization is one of the more
aggressive treatments for trying to conceive. This process is also done in cycles
and consists of a specialist removing an egg and fertilizing it with sperm
inside a lab. Once it becomes an embryo it is implanted into the uterus. The
success rate for this kind of treatment all depends on the age. Women under the
age of 35 have a better chance of becoming pregnant. The major downfall with
this treatment is that it is extremely costly per cycle and a relatively low
success rate.

| Positive pregnancy test |
Overall I made this post not to answer specific questions
about alternative treatments, but instead to show that there are options that
for women who have been struggling with this. Personally I know of many women
who have gone through many treatments and finally got pregnant, but I also know
a woman who tried getting pregnant for many years and made her peace with it
and after many years she got pregnant with twins without even expecting it. All
in all I just want to let you all know that there is always a way to be a
mother.
