Tips on Getting pregnant naturally
Getting pregnant isn’t as easy as the movies make it out to be; in fact it’s a very complicated and fascinating process where the sperm has to endure a long and demanding journey through the female genitals to ultimately reach the egg. For a woman the process can be even more complex as the man, where the egg needs to mature and become genetically ready for fertilization. It then erupts from the ovary and moves along the fallopian tube where it gets fertilized and then jostles along the womb awaiting the exact right time for implantation. When the sperm and egg have failed in any way by reaching the point of fertilization, conceiving will be unsuccessful, this is why getting pregnant naturally can prove to be challenging at times.
When you reach the age of 35, you only have a 20% chance of getting pregnant naturally, so to increase your chances there are a couple of things to do before you start trying to get pregnant and another few whilst you’re trying. The first three things to eliminate from your life before trying are caffeine, alcohol and cigarettes. Caffeine damages sperm and increases the risk of endometriosis, a known cause for infertility. Alcohol reduces the chances of conceptions and smoking will speed the loss of eggs and affect sperm quality. Women who over exercise usually face the risk of completely stopping their ovulation cycles, moderate exercise is acceptable, but when you find that you have difficulty conceiving, it might be a good idea to stop all exercise activities for at least three months. Try to keep your BMI (body mass index) between 24 and 30 to increase your fertility. Emotional aspects to consider are your stress levels and possible depression, these negative states can make it much harder for a woman to conceive.
If you feel that you have taken all necessary precautions before trying to get pregnant, there are three thing to remember whilst you attempt getting pregnant naturally:
- Invest in an ovulation calendar and plan to make love at the times when you are most fertile.
- Sex positions also play a determining role, as the missionary position will provide you with better chances of getting pregnant than any other position. Also try to lay still for a couple of minutes after intercourse and not getting up or going to the bathroom right away.
- Maintain your healthy diet by avoiding all the above mentioned influencing factors.
Getting pregnant naturally is a complicated process where all elements have to synchronize and come together in complete harmony in order to be successful.
