FERTILITY TIPS

Hello there, if you are visiting this site you are probably having some trouble getting pregnant. Many times these problems don't require any medical intervention at all, that's what this site is about. If you are not helped by this site you probably do need some medical intervention though.

         

GET ENOUGH REST
Not getting enough rest is a sure way to get your body to skip ovulations. If you're working too hard your body knows it's not a good time for you to have a baby and your body will put a block on your fertility. Make sure you get enough sleep and enough leisure time.

EAT RIGHT
Not getting enough food is another way your body will refuse to get pregnant. If you're not eating enough food for yourself your body knows there won't be enough for a baby either. Both the quantity and nutritional value of the food matters, eat nice big reasonably healthy meals. This is a bad time to go on a weight loss diet.

DON'T TAKE ANY DRUGS
This includes legal drugs like alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine. It also includes common medications like headache pills, allergy relief medicines, cold medicines etc. Any drugs you take can directly affect your fertility, and it can also cause birth defects and miscarriage if taken after conception. Only take medications if absolutely necessary, if you have a headache or discomfort from seasonal allergies just let it run its course. Even chocolate contains a little bit of caffeine, don't eat chocolate while you are trying to get pregnant or while you are pregnant, it's better to cut it out all together to reduce the risk of a miscarriage. It's very common for pregnant women to binge on chocolate and many doctors even think it's ok, but recent research shows that it's not, 50 years ago pregnant women were told by doctors that it was ok to drink a little bit of alcohol while pregnant, today we know that even small amounts of alcohol are highly poisonous to a developing fetus. It is a sad fact that many practicing doctors are a few decades behind on their information.

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR PERIODS AND OVULATIONS
If you time your bedroom activities right your chance of conceiving goes up dramatically. You need to take you morning temperature every morning and determine when you are most fertile. In the old days people used to this by hand but these day us there is computer software that does a much better job, don't waste your time and money, get the best one available from www.mommymaker.com , it costs $10 and you get your money back if you're not pregnant within 6 months. There is a lot of junk software out there claiming to do a good job but only mommymaker backs it up with a money back guarantee, and that in itself says a great deal. Tests show mommymaker to be so much more accurate than the competition that there simply is no alternative.

INCREASE YOUR CHANCES BY HAVING INTERCOURSE THE RIGHT WAY
This may sound like a major turn-off but if you are having trouble getting pregnant you may have to make love somewhat by these guidelines.
- Don't have intercourse for a few days before your predicted ovulation, this will produce a bigger and more concentrated dose of semen when you do have intercourse.
- Have intercourse as late as possible before the start of the ovulation, the more regular your periods the more accurately you can determine your ovulation date, the Mommymaker software described above gives you the best possible predicted ovulation date.
- Once you have had intercourse right before the predicted ovulation, continue to have intercourse once a day until the software tells you for sure that the ovulation has passed.
- The woman must climax before the man, this loosens the cervix and makes it easier for the semen to enter, thus improving your chances of conception. The cervix stays relaxed for a while so there's no big hurry for the man to ejaculate yet (as long as he does).
- The position should be such that gravity helps the semen penetrate the cervix. After the intercourse the woman needs to stay in this position for at least half an hour (most people say 20 minutes is enough but 30 is safer).

ADJUST PHYSICAL EXERCISE
High impact exercise such as running will increase the risk of losing your fetus before you even know you're pregnant. Physical exercise is good but choose low impact alternatives. Too much bouncing around will literally bounce the fetus out of its place.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Some of the tips here are based on recent research, many doctor may not agree with many of the things here, in 30 years they will, but you'll be a grandparent by then. Many doctors for example say that drinking a little bit of coffee while pregnant is ok, but it is a proven scientific fact that even small amounts of caffeine can cause miscarriage. Most doctors and many pregnancy books encourage pregnant women to eat chocolate, one again, recent findings show that this is harmful. Don't eat chocolate while you're pregnant, it's better to be safe than sorry.
