How can I get pregnant? - The Basics...
I'm using birth control, what do I do?
If you are currently taking birth control you will need to stop. This will depend on the method you are using. With barrier methods such as Condoms, Diaphragms, Cervical Cap, and Sponge you need to simple remove and or stop using them. With Hormonal Contraceptive you should allow 2-3 months for your body to adjust to regular periods before trying. (as a result if due date i important use a barrier method such as condoms during this time as it is 20-25% possible to get pregnant in the first cycle) If you using an IUD this should be removed 1 cycle prior to trying while Hormonal implant or injection can last 3-6 months. Therefore with hormonal conception such as the pill its best to consult your GP about coming off these types of contraception. Most commercial lubricants have been shown as harmful to sperm, so if you are using a lubricant during intercourse because of dryness choose a sperm friendly lubricant.What are the chances of getting pregnant?

It's recommended to make lifestyle changes at least four months before you start trying to conceive. This timing is important because it takes approximately four months for an egg to mature, ensuring your baby develops in an optimal environment during those crucial early weeks of cell growth and development.
How soon after stopping hormonal contraception can I try to get pregnant?
After stopping hormonal contraceptives such as the pill, it's advisable to allow 2-3 months for your body to readjust and for regular periods to resume before actively trying to conceive. However, it's worth noting there's a 20-25% chance of conception in the first cycle after stopping, so consider using barrier methods like condoms during this adjustment period if timing of pregnancy is important to you.
What should I do about my IUD or contraceptive implant when planning to conceive?
If you have an IUD, it should be removed one cycle prior to trying to conceive. For hormonal implants or injections, these can remain active for 3-6 months, so you should consult your GP about the best timing for removal and when it's safe to begin trying to conceive.
Does using lubricant during sex affect my chances of getting pregnant?
Most commercial lubricants have been shown to be harmful to sperm and may reduce your chances of conception. If you experience vaginal dryness, it's important to use a sperm-friendly lubricant specifically designed for couples trying to conceive instead.
What are realistic chances of getting pregnant each month?
There is approximately a 20-25% chance of conception occurring in any single month of trying, even when timing intercourse around ovulation. Therefore, it's perfectly normal not to conceive immediately, and you should allow several months before considering further investigations or seeking advice from a fertility specialist.
Is it normal for my period to be irregular after stopping contraception?
Yes, it's completely normal for your menstrual cycle to take 3-4 months to return to its regular pattern after stopping hormonal contraception. During this adjustment period, try to track your cycle to help identify when you're ovulating, and don't be concerned if your periods are slightly different from before.
When should I seek help from an NHS fertility clinic?
The HFEA recommends that you should consider seeking help from an NHS fertility clinic if you've been trying to conceive for 12 months without success (or 6 months if you're over 35). Your GP can provide a referral to your local NHS fertility service, where you can access investigations and treatment options.
