Trying to get pregnant can be a very stressful process where you don’t need all that stress. While it comes easily to some women it can be very difficult to achieve to some. There are a few things one can do to try and boost the whole process other than just having sex. Let’s look into how you can help yourself with better chances of conceiving. This article explains the 9 ways on how to boost your fertility.

1. Consult a Doctor

It is the first best thing you can for yourself. A visit to the doctor will help with understanding which supplements to take and which medications you should stay away from. Some women don’t understand their cycles in terms of knowing how to figure out their ovulation, a doctor will be your best teacher. Best chances of conceiving are during ovulation days. A doctor can also check if there are any medical issues that can affect fertility.

2. Have More Sex

Having more sex will surely increase the chances especially because counting for ovulation can be tricky. There are ovulation kits available that can assist in tracking those fertility days to avoid the stress of counting days. The best way to know when your ovulation is, is to know the length of your menstrual cycle. If your average cycle takes 28 days then the ovulation occurs 14 days before your next period giving you the best chance on the 12, 13 & 14. It can happen earlier or way later than you expect, have sex before, after and on the suspected date of ovulation. These can especially work better for women with irregular menstrual cycles. Having sex is considered to be one of the 9 ways on how to boost your fertility.

3. Keep Hydrated and Eat Healthy

Eat well balanced with lots of fruits & veggies and drink an adequate amount of water. Your doctor can assist with drawing up the correct healthy eating plan. Cut on caffeine, alcohol, refined carbohydrates and trans-fatty acids.

4. Take Supplements

The first popular supplement the doctor gives is normally the folic acid and now most women never consult and only take it with no additional knowledge or advice. We never get all the vitamins and minerals from the food and other than the folic acid supplement with iron, selenium, amino acids, antioxidants, B complex vitamins among-st others.

5. Stop Smoking

Not smoking is another one of the 9 ways on how to boost your fertility. It should come as no surprise that smoking affects fertility as nobody can claim they don’t know how detrimental smoking is to our health. Smoking increases the chances of ectopic pregnancy and increases the risk of miscarriage. It ages the ovaries prematurely with at least 10 years and limits and/or damages the number of eggs.

6. Stay Stress-Free

Try meditation and yoga to assist with lowering the stress level. It can be a bit overwhelming having to always look at what to eat or drastic diet change, remembering supplements and looking into your cycle. Stress generally interferes and delays things due to hormonal changes that occur when you stress. Exercise helps burn off frustration, continue with your work out & not an intense one to keep your mind at ease.

7. Monitor Weight

Excess body fat can disrupt ovulation by causing overproduction of hormones. That moderate exercise will help you in more ways than just relieving stress.o improve your chances of getting pregnant, try to lose weight if you’re overweight (causes 25% infertility) and gain weight if you’re underweight (causes 12% infertility), this is because the amount of fat stored in your body influences menstrual function. Do not find yourself being told you are either obese or too skinny to be pregnant.

8. Avoid Toxins

We are either exposed to chemicals due to work environments or the food we eat. Some can be difficult to avoid because they are from the air we breathe and water pollution but we can avoid the ones with eat by following a healthy diet plan. Please note that some industrial work environments can expose you to chemicals that disrupt the menstrual cycles thus affecting fertility as well as being exposed to radiation and jet fuels.

9. Get Enough Sleep

Lastly, after a busy day of work and workouts your body needs to rest, maybe this is the one thing that your body needs to be fertile. Sleep deprivation will lead to a risk of conditions that will add on to infertility issues. Lack of sleep will alleviate mental and physical stress. Get enough sleep for overall well-being.

An overall healthy lifestyle is beneficial for a whole lot of medical condition and general healthy body and mind. It limits and keep away unnecessary illnesses. Keep away from self-harm by intoxicating yourself and take precautionary measures from situations that you cannot really control.
