First things first, you need to have sex. We don't want to insult your intelligence, but it's worth mentioning. Sorry to disappoint the romantics, but snuggling, holding hands, and talking about your feelings doesn't lead to babies. Usually.

In terms of the best position for baby-making, there's no consensus. In fact, we did some research (by which we mean we asked our parents) and got conflicting answers. The good news is, as long as sperm meets egg, you're in business. So be adventurous! Try upside-down, backwards, or even sideways.

Now, let's talk about timing. Women are only fertile for a few days each month, which is why you need to keep track of your menstrual cycle. You can do this by using an app or writing it down on a calendar (old school). Once you figure out when you're ovulating, get busy. And don't skip days – sperm can live for up to five days inside a woman's body, so make sure you cover your bases.

But what about lifestyle factors? There are a few basic do's and don'ts to keep in mind. Do eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress. Don't smoke, drink alcohol, or do drugs (sorry to be a buzzkill). Oh, and for the love of all that is holy, please don't try any DIY fertility treatments you find on the internet.

If you're having trouble getting pragnent, don't panic. It's actually quite common. There are many factors that can affect fertility, so don't assume that it's your fault (or your partner's). Talk to your doctor – they can run tests to see if there's an underlying issue, and offer advice on how to increase your chances of conceiving.

In conclusion, getting pragnent is a lot like playing darts – you aim for the bullseye, but sometimes you miss. The important thing is to keep trying, have fun (it is supposed to be enjoyable, after all), and don't stress too much. Parenthood is a wild ride, and the journey starts with a little bit of baby-making. So go forth, and make some babby!
