If you are considering getting pregnant, there are many factors which play a crucial role in ensuring the pregnancy happens.
Contents
It is the most important factor which decides how good the chances to get pregnant are. Once above 30, conceiving chances for a woman begin to decline. With age, the number of eggs she has and their quality reduces. Hence, it gets easier for a woman to get pregnant before 30. With respect to male fertility, the decline starts at around 40-45 years.
In case you have regular cycles, ovulation time will be around two weeks before your period. This implies your fertile window will be the 7 days before ovulation is expected. In case your cycles are irregular, it can be difficult to make any prediction about ovulation time and the fertile window. Consulting your doctor will be better in such a case.
During the fertile window time, have sex every other day. It is during this period that a woman is most fertile.
In case you are on a contraceptive pill, stop using it from a few months before you plan to get pregnant.
Be in the best of your health, especially during the time you're thinking of having a baby. Adopt healthy habits like improving diet, regular and right exercise, no smoking and drinking and limiting coffee intake. In case you are overweight, high levels of insulin can interfere with fertility. On the other hand, being underweight can cause low estrogen levels, affecting ovulation.
Your doctor can provide necessary guidance in getting healthier, which will increase the chances of getting pregnant. In case you are taking any medicines for other health issues, please mention them to your doctor.
There are gynaecological conditions that interfere with pregnancy. For instance, uterine polyps, fibroids, cysts or tumours, endometriosis, etc. Speak to your doctor to get the condition treated before trying to conceive.
These supplements are a good source of folic acid and vital vitamins and minerals, which are needed for healthy conception and pregnancy.
While trying to get pregnant, avoid unpasteurized dairy products, raw eggs, undercooked meat, and fish in your diet.
Avoid stressing over conceiving. Stress affects sex drive, which in turn reduces your chance to get pregnant. It is very important that both you and your spouse are in the best of health, physically as well as mentally, as you try to conceive.
