It’s a good idea to stop smoking before you become pregnant, because cigarettes have toxins, and these can hinder egg maturation as well as ovulation rates. Eggs exposed to nicotine have a greater rate of chromosomal abnormalities.

Micarriages, underweight babies or premature labour are some of the things that can go wrong with women who smoke.

Effects of smoking in pregnancy don’t only apply to women because if men smoke, the nicotine can certainly affect the quality of his sperm.If you want to make conception easier and enjoy a healthy pregnancy, making some lifestyle changes can make all the difference. Stop smoking and start to replace the vitamins and nutrients that smoking removes. Pregassist will help to get your body in tip top condition so that pregnancy can happen easily.

You are most fertile when you are ovulating, so knowing your time means you can determine the best days to conceive.If your menstrual cycle is irregular, it will be difficult to determine your day of ovulation based on the ovulation calendar alone and then monitoring your basal body temperature and cervical mucous become an option.

Before concluding that you may have  fertility problems and you may have to resort to fertility drugs or treatments, first take a look at your diet. A nutritious diet combined with natural and researched supplementation will not only lead to better health; it will improve both you and your partners fertility. Try Pregassist; you’ve got nothing to lose and a huge chance to gain a long awaited prenancy.
