How can I increase my chances of getting pregnant?

Answer: 

If you and your partner are in good health this increases the chances of getting pregnant. Making some changes to your lifestyle such as quitting smoking, drinking less alcohol and exercising more can help improve you and your partner's health.

Some medical conditions can lower your chances of getting pregnant, such as asthma, diabetes and being overweight, so any action to improve these conditions would be a step in the right direction.
