On average, the probability of conceiving and becoming pregnant in one menstrual cycle is 20 percent. Here are 10 tips to help increase your chances of conceiving:
-
Be patient. There is no point in running to the doctor if you have regular sex life and less than a year has passed since you started trying.
-
Make love often. Regular sex increases your chances of getting pregnant.
-
Don't go on diets! Losing weight negatively affects fertility hormones. It is better to lose excess weight several months before conceiving.
-
Eat a balanced diet. Avoid on-the-go snacks and sweets - this affects hormones and reduces fertility.
-
Keep your man cool! This has a beneficial effect on sperm quality.
-
Choose the right season. Fertility is usually higher in spring and fall.
-
Be careful with painkillers. Some drugs affect fertility hormones.
-
Smoke less. Smoking reduces your chances of conceiving by 30%.
-
Watch your alcohol. Alcohol abuse harms fertility.
-
Limit caffeine. It negatively affects reproductive function.
By following these simple tips, you can improve your fertility and increase your chances of conceiving. Good luck!
