How to Boost Your Chances of Pregnancy

7 Ways to Boost Your Chances of Pregnancy

Trying to conceive? Pregnancy is a time of joy and of blooming. However, not everyone can conceive when they want to. Getting pregnant may seem effortless for some, yet it can be a struggle for others. Here are 7 simple lifestyle changes to help boost your chances of fertility.

1. Sleep early and rest well

Sleep helps you to relax and keep mood swings at bay. It also produces the leptin hormone that affects ovulation and the menstrual cycle.

2. Exercise moderately

Low-impact exercises such as brisk walking, leisure golfing or light aerobics help to maintain a healthy weight and improve chances of conception. Being overweight or obese lowers the chance of conception as well as increases the risk of miscarriage, gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and so on.

3. Relax, take it easy

Stress can greatly alter your ovulation cycle and hormone production and mess with your ability to conceive. Just relax and let nature take its course.

4. Practice feminine hygiene

Yeast and bacterial infections in a woman’s intimate area may affect fertility, so it’s wise to use a good feminine hygiene product with natural herbs and oils to gently remove impurities and clear harmful bacteria without affecting the good bacteria.

5. Switch to antibacterial sanitary pads

During your menses, the pH level of your intimate area becomes more alkaline and susceptible to bacterial infections. Switching to sanitary pads with antibacterial, anti-infection and anti-humidity properties may benefit you in your conception endeavours.

6. Ensure a regular menstrual cycle

The most vital element to getting pregnant is to first ensure your period is healthy and regular. Without a regular cycle, not only is it difficult to determine your ovulation timeframe but it also means you have a slower production of eggs.

7. Protect the male vitality

Advise your partner to keep smartphones away from front pockets or belts – anywhere close to his genitals – to prevent sperms from exposure to electromagnetic waves and heat.
