Trying for a baby involves a few key steps: track ovulation using ovulation kits or fertility apps to identify the most fertile days. Have regular, unprotected sex during this fertile window, ideally every 2-3 days. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and reduced stress also helps. Quitting smoking and alcohol can improve fertility for both partners. If conception doesn’t occur within a year (or six months if over 35), seek advice from a healthcare professional.
