I have irregular cycle ,I really need to get pregnant

[@msseeah]

I am irregular too :( I Believe the best way to conceive is to have sex as often as daily or every other day at least.

[@startupsstartups5564]

The solution based on experience, is to have sex every day and preferably multiple time in a day!

[@xiao6107]

@@msseeah is s** fun for girls??? I mean do they do it for FUN or the sake of pregnancy only???

[@msseeah]

@@xiao6107 it really depends from person to person. Intercourse is usually portrayed by the media as a "fun" thing to do with pleasure but in reality, it's not all rainbows and unicorns. It can hurt and feel uncomfortable, but it can also be the "best experience". People really has a variety of feelings towards it.

How many times to sex so as to become pregnant

[@SS-gz7nf]

You need to take normoz and some medication and weight loss to make it regular.

[@mahathiee]

Ok the cycle lasts 25-28 days in a normal woman So it's very common on to bleed exactly on the same day next Month. You can download a period tracker to track this. My gynec recommended me to do this. If u have serious problem u must consult one immediately

[@mahathiee]

Regarding pregnancy. You will be fertile after 1 Week of your period for nearly 5days, Then if u have sex, with the sperms released you will get pregnant.

actually it has been a long time, it depends on the condition untill physically examination done, so do consult with the best dr.of your town

[@TATE8]

@@DrSADAM-tu5el I am 23 years old and my girlfriend is 19 years old. We had intercourse which was non penetrative and no ejaculation took place there was only pre-cum . Immediately after she urinated and washed her vagina with jet spray water. So can you please tell if that can lead to pregnancy? Can you help me with that matter?

Can i use Vaseline as a lubricant?

[@bigmikeobama5314]

probably bad to use petroleum products in there

[@eliciaeldridge3452]

When trying to get pregnant Id recommend using Pre-seed.

[@holinesswahlang475]

Can we get pregnant if we having sex only for 2 or 3 minute for the first time

[@spiraling299]

Yes, if you have ovulated very recently. The egg only survives around 24 hours after being released. Even if the man didn't ejaculate there is still usually pre ejaculated sperm during intercourse, hence that sperm can still get a woman pregnant, just not as often. I'd still take a test

[@mr.iforgot3062]

No. It's unlikely. It takes several thrusts and has to go deep inside. If your feeling the penis head hitting the bottom of stomach then is the only time you can conceive.
