In the last decades, infertility rates have risen greatly. What does this tell us? Are humans evolving in a strange way? Is the way you get pregnant changing? NO. It is the way we live our lives that cause problems for us. Couples are ignorant of the fact that there is a strong correlation between good physical and mental health and fertility. Follow these simple steps now and improve your ability to get pregnant!
How to Get Pregnant - Exercise!
You don't have to go over the top, but a moderately paced jog 3 or 4 times a week will do wonders to maintain reasonable fat levels. Fat encourages the excretion of estrogen which in turn disrupts the fertility cycle in females, lowering chances of conception.
How to Get Pregnant - Sort out your diet
Alcohol and caffeine lower sperm count by up to 50% - these should be eliminated from diet. Vitamins C and D, calcium and zinc have also been linked to improved sperm mobility and count. So more fruit and vegetables will help!
How to Get Pregnant - Drink Plenty Of Fluids--Ideally Water
It's extremely important that you keep your body hydrated in order to enhance your fertility. That means drinking plenty of fluids is going to be a priority. Water will do a lot to help your body maintain proper function, so drink plenty of water throughout the day. 6 to 8 cups per day is a good starting point. If you do not drink enough water, your cervical fluid, as well as a man's ejaculate fluid, can become sluggish.
How to Get Pregnant - Chill out!
Stress has been proven to contribute to infertility. It can cause hormonal imbalance (especially in woman) which gravely effects the ovulation cycle. Try to find activities which relieve you from stress.
How to Get Pregnant - Smart sex
Sperm needs to be deposited as near to the cervix as possible in the female. This is best done in the missionary or rear entry position with the female underneath the male. You should also have sex most frequently exactly between the woman's periods. This is where fertility peaks and how you get pregnant!
Conceiving isn't as simple as "getting it on" every day. It is often difficult for couples to conceive and the right physical conditions are required.
