According to World Health Organization, around 17.5% adult population experience infertility worldwide. There are so many things to consider when it comes to trying to conceive, and it can all become overwhelming.
As a Fertility Coach I am here to help women struggling on their journey to conceive and offer some tips on how to improve chances of conceiving. I will start with the basics.
Tip # 1 Learn about your menstrual cycle
Understanding your menstrual cycle can help you decide when you are ovulating, which is the time when you are most fertile.
Tip # 2 Have regular intercourse
Having regular intercourse especially during ovulation will increase your chances of conceiving. It is recommended to have sex every other day during your fertile window.
Tip # 3 Eat a healthy diet
Along with regular exercise, a healthy diet is important to your overall health and fertility. Eating a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean proteins like chicken and fish can improve your chances of conceiving.
Tip # 4 Manage Stress
Stress can have a negative impact on fertility, both physically and emotionally. Meditation, yoga and speaking to a therapist are some ways to manage stress.
Tip # 5 Seek professional help
If you have been trying to conceive for a year or longer without success, it’s important to seek the help of a fertility specialist. They can help to find any underlying issues and offer the appropriate treatments.
As a fertility coach, I am here to support and guide you on your journey to conception. Remember every journey is unique and there is no one “right” way to conceive. Be kind to yourself and know that you are not alone.
Good luck!
