Many couples are going natural when it comes to fertility treatment.
Natural methods can help in improving your fertility and can be an
inexpensive option that can in certain cases alleviate female
infertility and male fertility problems. These ten tips can help you and
your partner take charge of your fertility, naturally.
Getting Pregnant Tips
- Predict ovulation. Learning how to predict your ovulation
is key to improving fertility. This is because having sex near
ovulation improves your chances of getting pregnant with each menstrual
cycle. One way in which to determine when you�ll be ovulating is to
use a basal body temperature (BBT) thermometer.
- Check for other signs of ovulation. Look for
changes in your cervical fluid to help you predict when you'll be
ovulating. When cervical mucus is produced in greater quantities and
when it is stretchy in texture, it means you are ovulating and therefore
are most fertile. But if cervical mucus is dry and being produced in
lesser amounts, you are less fertile. Some women also experience
mittelschmertz (middle pain), a mild pain in the abdominal area that is
indicative of ovulation.
- Wear boxers. Men should wear boxers instead of
briefs. This is helpful in improving a couple's chances of getting
pregnant because wearing boxers reduces the risk of the testicles
overheating, which can result in sperm damage.
- Getting pregnant sex. While timing sex around
ovulation can help improve your odds of getting pregnant, another factor
that can help in improving your infertility is getting pregnant sex.
This is because certain sexual positions can help to direct the sperm
nearer to the cervix, which increases a woman's chances of conceiving.
- Importance of female orgasm. While it is well-known
that male orgasm is linked to getting pregnant, female orgasm is also
relevant to a couple's chances of successfully getting pregnant. When a
woman experiences an orgasm during sex, it helps to draw the semen into
the cervix, thereby resulting in a higher chance of pregnancy.
- Elevate your hips after sex. Following intercourse,
elevating your hips and buttocks can help improve your chances of
getting pregnant because it helps the semen stay close to the cervix and
prevents leakage of the semen. Lying in bed for about 20 minutes with a
pillow propped under your hips can help boost your odds of getting
pregnant.
- Don't douche. While this is a fairly common
practice, douching can actually reduce your chances of getting pregnant.
Douching affects female fertility because it disturbs the natural state
of the vagina and can aggravate vaginal infections.
- Go for a check-up. Testing your overall health can
also improve your fertility because it can help to identify fertility
problems and conditions that may secretly be affecting your ability to
get pregnant. Both you and your partner should get checked for sexually
transmitted infections (STIs) or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs),
both of which can negatively affect both male and female fertility.
- Regulate your exercise routine. While exercise
helps fertility by maintaining a healthy weight, thereby helping
fertility, too much exercise can lead to amenorrhea (or absent periods).
If you notice any irregularity in your periods, you should reduce the
amount of exercise you participate in so as to improve your chances of
getting pregnant.
- Oral health. Make sure you take good care of what
you're putting into your mouth as well. Prescription drugs as well as
tobacco and alcohol can all affect your fertility. In addition, diet is central to fertility and a healthy diet can improve your chances of getting pregnant.
