Top 5 Easy & Traditional Methods To Get Pregnant Naturally

Only 25% of couples manage to conceive a child in the first month of unprotected sex. How to get in the number of lucky ones?

1. Stop smoking

Trite, but effective. Nicotine reduces spermatogenesis, that is, retards the formation of men’ spermatozoa and disrupts their mobility, and it reduces the level of women’ estradiol, the most active sex hormone. According to a study published by the British Medical Association, smoking in even one partner reduces the chances of getting pregnant by 10-40%. In addition, this habit reduces sexual desire and causes a lack of orgasm. So give up cigarettes yourself and try to avoid passive smoking in public places.

2. Check your aid kit

Carefully approach the choice of medications. During ovulation, do not take anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics: they have a negative effect on hormones. Decongestants and antihistamines can cause vaginal dryness and thickening of the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to move. Taking antibiotics provokes a violation of the bacterial flora in the vagina: you will have to wait for conception for 1-2 cycles. After the end of any drug therapy, it is worth waiting to get pregnant for a month, since the removal of some medications from the body continues for several weeks. Important: this does not apply to vitamins; they will be very useful in preparation for pregnancy as long as they are not overdone!

3. Review your menu

For successful pregnancy without using in vitro fertilization, you need to adhere to a reasonable power scheme. No weight loss programs: the use of low-calorie foods adversely affects the hormones responsible for fertility. Part of the estrogen (female hormones) is synthesized not only in the ovaries, but also in adipose tissue. Less fat = less estrogen. Therefore, it is better for the weight to settle before the attempting to get pregnant. Try to eat more vegetables, fruits, and fiber-rich foods (e.g., bread, brown rice, and pasta). Folic acid, necessary for both conception and pregnancy, can be found in leafy green vegetables, such as cabbage, broccoli, or spinach. Proteins and iron effects the general condition of the ovaries and the mechanism of ovulation; they are in large amounts in legumes. The source of calcium that the baby will definitely need is dairy products. Do not forget about omega-3 fatty acids that provides blood flow to the uterus, it is recommended to include salmon in the diet. Vegetable fats are useful - these are “suppliers” of vitamin E, which, by the way, should be taken at least three months before the planned conception.

It is better to refuse sweets: an increase in blood sugar provokes an excessive release of adrenaline - a hormone that “attacks” progesterone useful for conception.

4. Find “the best days”

It is more usual, of course, to start a calendar and count out the 14th to 16th day from the beginning of the menstrual cycle. Or listen to your own feelings such as an increase in “desire”. But it is better to use special tests: the best day can occur on any of the days, especially if you have an irregular female cycle. Do not forget about the well-known method for determining a favorable day - the measurement of basal temperature. To determine it, you need to carry out this procedure for 3-5 menstrual cycles.

5. Keep the rhythm

Numerous studies by scientists have shown that abstinence from intimacy for more than seven days can cause a decline in male fertility: in this situation, the amount of seminal fluid increases, but not its quality. However, in men who have an intense sex life, the quality of the seminal fluid also suffers - it simply does not have time to be produced. Therefore, the optimal mode is considered to have sex 3-4 times a week.
