Things You'll Need:

- Candles and music for a romantic evening
-
Step 1
Review the facts. According to recent medical reports, millions of women experience infertility each year, and the numbers are steadily increasing. When you feel like you are the only one going through this, remember that infertility is actually a common problem for many women.
-
Step 2
Have your husband tested. A large percentage of infertility problems can be linked to the male factor, according to recent medical reports. Before pursuing treatment for yourself, ask your husband if he would be willing to be tested. Your doctor can advise you from there.
-
Step 3
Consult your own doctor. Even if your husband contributes to the infertility factor, you need to be tested as well. Your doctor may be able to prescribe hormone pills or suggest a special diet to aid in your fertility treatments. One of the most common factors for infertility in women is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which causes cysts to develop on the ovaries. Your doctor can prescribe proper treatment to help you with this condition.

Step 4
Consider other options. If your heart’s desire is to become a parent, you may want to look into other avenues for bringing a child into your home. There are alternative ways to conceive such as using in vitro fertilization or a surrogate mother, or you could adopt a child. After all, there are many children in need of a good home.
-
Step 5
Relax. If you spend all of your time thinking about having a baby, you are only going to create a stressful environment, not exactly ideal for conception. Try to incorporate romance into your evening and just enjoy being intimate with your spouse.
-
Step 6
Appreciate what you have. As soon as you become a parent, you will no longer be just “a couple.” A child will change your lives forever, so appreciate the time you have now to share with your spouse. Soon, you may be one of those parents who looks at couples enviously, wishing you could spend time together alone--without the kids.
