Fertility Tips

Optimize Your Chances of Getting Pregnant

When I was trying to conceive, I sought after as many fertility tips and fertility information as I could find. Here are a few of the best tips on getting pregnant to get you started on your journey.

The best place to start when trying to conceive is to chart your fertility signs. Charting your fertility signs of basal body temperature, cervical fluid and cervical position is the best way of knowing exactly where you are in your cycle and if you are indeed fertile. It also helps to pinpoint any infertility. Learning the art of fertility charting takes a little time and effort, but it's well worth it.

Fertility charting is an excellent way of increasing your chances of becoming pregnant however you don't have to chart to become pregnant. Here are a few other tips that will increase the odds of becoming pregnant:

Prenatal Vitamins

Prenatal vitamins contain the right amount of vitamins and minerals that will help the body to prepare for pregnancy and helps the body during pregnancy. Folic acid is one of the main ingredients in prenatal vitamins and so very important in a healthy pregnancy. Folic acid helps to prevent certain neural tube defects in the fetus. It's recommended to start taking prenatal vitamins during the time before the baby is conceived (preconception) as well as throughout pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 helps to regulate the reproductive hormones. It helps to lengthen and regulate the luteal phase (which is the time from ovulation to the first day of menstruation). B6 helps to maintain balanced blood sugars. It's an excellent supplement to take to alleviate morning sickness during pregnancy. I take at least 50 mg of B6 per day all cycle.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E helps to build a strong immune system. It helps to maintain a healthy pregnancy.

Progesterone Cream

Natural progesterone cream is excellent in balancing the reproductive hormones. It helps to maintain a healthy pregnancy by building up a strong uterine lining. It's good at helping to prevent early miscarriage - if the miscarriage would be caused by low progesterone. Also helps to prevent preterm labor in pregnancy. (This has been proven by yours truly!)

Fertility Herbs

Evening primrose oil and vitex (chastetree berry) help to regulate the reproductive hormones in some women. These should be taken with caution. Always follow the dosage instructions. Don't take these herbs once ovulation has been established.

Tea

I often say they should change the name of "tea" to "fertiliTEA" because every time I've conceived I was drinking plain tea. Green tea and regular tea (decafe or caffeinated) contains a high level of antioxidants.

Fertility Tips For your man

Vitamin C, vitamin E and garlic will help him to produce healthy sperm.

Water

For both of you, water is one of nature's best remedies for cleansing the body. Because our bodies are made primarily of water, replenishing the water throughout the day is of vital importance.

Last Thought

These fertility tips are just the beginning in this wonderful journey to parenthood. Stress causes problems and hinders the reproductive cycle and decreases sperm count. Deal with life in moderation. Relax, get plenty of rest, take your vitamins, drink plenty of water and most of all - have fun!
