How to Improve Female Fertility

A study at the University of Surrey suggests that female fertility can be improved 80% of the time by non-medical, lifestyle changes. Most doctors will suggest the following natural treatments before resorting to more involved medical plans. Many of the suggestions can also be adopted by your partner.

      Improve your diet. Eating high-quality foods in the correct proportion is important. Eating organic foods will ensure that you do not ingest pesticides and other environmental poisons that could impact your reproductive health.

      Eliminate alcohol completely from you diet. You can reduce your fertility by half if you drink any alcohol at all.

    • 3

      Eliminate caffeine from your diet three months prior to and during your attempts to conceive.

    • 4

      Stop smoking. Smoking is definitively linked to infertility in both men and women.

    • 5

      Take prenatal vitamins. Folic acid, zinc, vitamin C and many other vital nutrients are key and give you the best chance to conceive.

    • 6

      Reduce stress. Stress has an effect on both male and female fertility.

    • 7

      Time sex to occur during the most fertile periods of your cycle. There are only a few days a month when a female can get pregnant, so be aware of when you are most fertile.

      Consider your weight. Being overweight or underweight can cause problems for women when they are trying to conceive.
