You are right, those results suck. However when you type 'how to get pregnant /health' those results seem to be pretty good.

The suggested slashtag for [how to get pregnant] is /pregnancy ... those results are pretty nice, albeit less medically-focused than the /health results.
Look at this search - "how to get pregnant" - that exact phrase gets 550K searches on google a month. My wife and I did this search last week actually.
Blekko's top 3 results are 1. get-pregnant-guide.com which is an affiliate site that points to pregnancymiracle.com - one of those crappy ebook sites where they have a bunch of testimonials and ask for you to pay $39.95 for their guide, 2. a digg post that has 1 digg which points to a hubpages article that no longer exists, 3. purelyfitness.com/how-to-get-pregnant which is also an affiliate site that points to pregnancymiracle.com.
Google's top sites are the mayoclinic.com, mahalo.com, and howtogetpregnant.net. The least useful to me was howtogetpregnant.net, but they still gave a decent amount free advice. I actually found Mahalo to be the most informative which is blocked from your results. I find Calacanis just as annoying as everyone else, but this page was more beneficial to me than even the mayoclinic.
