What is the best treatment to get pregnant?
Patient: me and my fiance have been together for three years and we never used a condom. he pulls out usually but we have had alot of times when we did not pull out and i was glad i did not get pregnant but for the last month we have been tryin to get pregnant and i just started my period so should i be worried that i cant get pregnant or is it normal to take a while to get pregnant? Doctor: Hello, and I hope I can help you today.When trying to conceive, 80% of couples will conceive within one year. Even though you used the withdrawal method previously, there still is no evidence that you would have any trouble conceiving as withdrawal does reduce the risk of pregnancy by about 75%.Many women assume that if they have not had an accidental pregnancy in their life that they are infertile. This is actually untrue, because contraceptive failure, even with natural methods, is still relatively unusual.So if you and your partner continue to have regular, unprotected sex during the fertile time of your cycle (which is the time between the end of your period until the time you start to feel PMS symptoms) you should be able to conceive eventually.While you are trying to become pregnant, it is recommended that you begin taking prenatal vitamins or of folic acid supplement to help prevent certain kinds of birth defects.I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful.Best wishes, Dr. Brown
