How to increase chances of getting pregnant
Posted: 02-08-08 15:58pm

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for one year now. We have sex at least once a day during my cycles but with no luck. Is it because of my age? My last child was born 4 years ago. What can we do to increase the chances of getting pregnant?

If you have sex at least once a day there is nothing more you can do but to ask for a medical attention. Your age (late 30's) can have a negative impact on the process of trying to conceive but there are chances for you to conceive as long as you are ovulating.

In order to diagnose the cause of sterility, you partner should be examined first using sperm analyses. If he checks out OK you can be put under several diagnostic procedures. First you should identify if you are ovulating, or not. That can be confirmed with hormonal analyses, measuring basal temperature, ovulation predictor tests and via an ultrasound scan. If you have no problem with ovulation the next step is to check the passage of the genital tract, an examination that takes place via HSG and laparoscopy with hysteroscopy. Tests for various sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are also requested in order to diagnose possible causes for sterility.

You can consult a gynecologist about your condition to seek consultation for the diagnostics.
