Take a deep breath because, well, the secret to getting pregnant is actually having an orgasm during intercourse!

Hey, if there's EVER been a good reason to make sure that your man is doing his job down there (I think it is every man's job to make sure that his woman is just as satisfied as he is), then this is it!
Even if you're never had an orgasm before, start working on it. You CAN have an orgasm and, surprisingly, you can even have one through your breasts! But don't worry, you can also have one by your man going down there, through exercise (say what?!) and, of course, through your vagina—which is the one that ESPECIALLY counts in this scenario! Good luck, ladies.
