 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!
