If you are unsure about your menstrual cycle and fertility window, it is better to consult a gynecologist about it. Please call on +91 9871001458 for appointments with a senior gynecologist at our hospital in South Delhi. 

Step 3: Get Intimate During your Fertile Period

You should have intercourse every other day during your fertile period. Contrary to popular belief, sex positions don’t really impact your chances of conceiving.

Step 4: Keep Trying to Get Pregnant

If you are under 35, it can take you upto 1 year to conceive. So don’t stress and keep trying.

How long it takes to get pregnant depends on factors like your age, general health and quality of the sperm and egg.
