Getting pregnant can be extremely frustrating. For some people it happens straight away. But for many, it means months or even years of trying, running to the shops for pregnancy tests and going to the doctor. Fortunately, there are several natural ways to increase your chances of getting pregnant. Here are some that might be right for you.
The first step to increasing your chances of getting pregnant naturally is to plan intercourse around ovulation. To do this, monitor your cycle using ovulation tests and plan to have sex around 36 hours before ovulation, as this is when LH levels are highest and you are most fertile. Ovulation only occurs for 12 to 48 hours, once per menstrual cycle, when your body releases an egg. By timing intercourse around ovulation, you maximise the chances of the sperm meeting the egg and getting pregnant.
There are ovulation tests that allow you to accurately monitor the course of your cycle and exactly when you ovulate. This will enable you to identify the days when you are most likely to get pregnant. In general, for a standard 28-day cycle, ovulation occurs on day 14. From the 10th day of the cycle, your oestrogen levels rise and luteinising hormone (LH) triggers ovulation. The ovulation test can therefore be used to monitor the onset of ovulation. The closer you get to your ovulation day, the darker the line on the test will become, showing the level of the hormone LH in your urine. By doing the test over several days, you can follow the rise in your hormones until you determine the day when the line is darkest (or most apparent), which will determine your ovulation day. We advise you to do a test every day for 6 days (from your 10th day of the cycle) to accurately determine your ovulation day and therefore the period when you are most fertile and most likely to become pregnant.
Whether you’re trying to have a baby or not, what you eat has an impact on your life. Food has a major influence on the production of hormones in the body. Eating a healthy diet helps to maintain regular, normal hormone levels and therefore optimise your chances of becoming pregnant.
You should be aware that the use of certain lubricants can have a negative effect on sperm quality. In order to become pregnant, it is not advisable to use lubricants during sexual relations.
Exercise and avoid alcohol, tobacco, nicotine and coffee. This will help you to have a regular cycle and optimise your chances of getting pregnant. A regular cycle is easier to track and follow than an irregular one. If you have irregularities in your cycle, it’s essential to go and see a gynaecologist and talk to him or her about it.
There are a number of supplements you can take that have been shown to increase your chances of getting pregnant. First of all, folic acid is a supplement found in many prenatal vitamins that increases the chances of conception and reduces the risk of neural tube birth defects. Apart from supplements, folic acid can be found naturally in foods such as green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, brown rice and beans. Zinc is another natural supplement found in vegetables and eggs, which both partners can take every day to increase the chances of pregnancy. Your GP will probably recommend a specific brand of vitamin, but good vitamins generally contain folic acid, calcium, iron, vitamin D and Omega 3, also known as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). They are available over the counter and should be taken before and during pregnancy.
You see, female fertility is only half the equation. So we’ve designed a multivitamin for men to support male fertility and give you the best chance of getting pregnant.
Developed with the help of gynaecologists and doctors, our extensively researched +Fertimen supplement is a high-quality, antioxidant-rich dietary supplement formulated for male fertility. Because fertility results depend on both the egg and the sperm, our prenatal vitamins for men are specifically designed to address nutrient deficiencies and optimise your chances of getting pregnant.
It’s hard enough to push yourself to exercise when you’re not pregnant, so imagine how difficult it is when you are. Whether you’re trying to get pregnant or are already pregnant, moderate exercise should be part of your journey. Being overweight or underweight can upset your natural hormonal balance and have an impact on your ovulation, making conception more difficult. For people trying to get pregnant, doctors recommend 30 minutes of exercise 3 to 4 times a week, whatever your pace.
This is our final piece of advice: even if you don’t seem to have any particular problems, it’s best to consult your doctor before you start trying to get pregnant. This will allow you to check that everything is going well and give you confidence. And above all, don’t forget to communicate ! Talk to your partner and tell them about your desires and fears. Stress is enemy number one when it comes to getting pregnant.
Finally, if getting pregnant takes a little longer than you’d like, don’t feel guilty. In Switzerland, around one couple in six has difficulty conceiving children.
