How To Improve Your Fertility

For those, who are wondering what is fertility, lets make it clear that it is not about any agricultural crop. Instead, by fertility we are referring to a couple’s chances of conceiving. For a couple to conceive it is important for both the partners to be fertile at the same time. However, at times there are delays in attaining pregnancy, which puts couples under distress. For a woman, it is important for her to produce viable eggs during the monthly cycle, while for a man it is necessary for him to produce strong and healthy sperms. Apart from this, you can improve your fertility with the help of some external adjustments.

Fertility First recommends that you:

improve your diet - eat less fat and more fibre,

limit intake of alcohol and caffeinated beverages,

avoid recreational drug use,

check with your fertility specialist that any medications you are taking will not adversely affect fertility

Stress

Stress can have a big effect on fertility. Stress hormones affect the hypothalamus and pituitary glands and reproductive organs. In women under stress, the reproductive hormone prolactin is over-produced and this can interfere with ovulation.

Eating Right
Though you may not believe it, eating right plays an important role in your body’s fertility. A balanced diet helps to regulate hormones and nourish your reproductive system. A good diet also helps you to maintain a healthy weight, which can greatly impact fertility. Women who are underweight or overweight may have a harder time becoming pregnant because body fat levels impact the production of sex hormones.
