A couple things to keep in mind when you’re trying to conceive:
- Do you smoke? If so, then quit. The same goes for alcohol and drug use. If your partner smokes, drinks or uses drugs, then he could also be jeopardizing your chances for a baby!
- How often do you exercise, if at all? Believe it or not, it’s possible to get too much exercise! Limit your time at the gym to just a few hours per week.
- Did you know that not getting enough zzz’s lowers your chances of having a baby? Lack of sleep prevents your body from being able to properly regulate adrenaline, cortisol and insulin – all essential hormones needed for conception.
- Have you been stressed out lately? This one may be easier said than done, but don’t stress as it could disrupt your fertility. Try taking up some relaxing activities, such as listening to your favorite music or getting a nice, long massage.
- Currently taking any medications? Check with your doctor to find out if any of your medications are playing a role in your infertility.
3. Consider taking supplements.
If you’ve never taken supplements before and are struggling to conceive, now may be the time to add them to your every-day routine. Although there are lots of great supplements out there, Fermented Cod Liver Oil seems to be popular due to the fact that it contains beneficial fats and omega-3 fatty acids, which help to boost hormone production. Of course, it’s important that you do your own research and consult with your doctor before purchasing any supplements. Additionally, vitamins C and D, folic acid, iron, zinc, calcium, selenium and B vitamins are known for promoting fertility.
