For the most part, we presume that we will be able to get pregnant when we want to. However, the fact is that isn’t always the case - sometimes conceiving a child can take a lot longer than you would like it to. Of course, just because it’s taking a little longer than you thought it would, that doesn’t necessarily mean that there’s a problem, it could just be that things are working slower than you would expect.
The good news is that if getting pregnant is taking longer than you would like, there are some simple things that you can try. Below is a guide to the steps that you should take if you’re struggling to get pregnant.

A lot of the time, when couples struggle to conceive it’s because they aren’t taking care of themselves properly. Did you know that often, it’s lifestyle factors that impact a couple's ability to conceive? Studies have shown that factors such as not eating a healthy, a balanced diet, drinking high amounts of alcohol, failing to exercise, and smoking can all impact fertility. However, the good news is that usually, if you make lifestyle changes and strive to lead a healthier life, you can improve your fertility.
