These bits of advice are here to help you and your hubby augment your fertility – In all honesty, it needs you both - by identifying which snacks are the paramount to eat, how you can have sex for the best health and likelihood to get pregnant, and what meds to consume and which to keep clear of. In closing - you probably know it will take time and that you both need to put in a focused effort to succeed. It is about you and your hubby.
1. Eat Healthy - that's it!
Biggest thing is to eat healthily - do not over consume - and yes a deep-fried snickers bar is not the best choice.
Attempt at eating eggs. They will turn the carbs you eat into energy - which is a process vital to your baby's developing brain. To ensure they are as smart as you are ;)
At the same time, eat a lot of fish. The fish you consume will help the brain and eye's of your baby develop. It is a great source of vitamin D, which is especially important in the first 2-3 months of your baby's life. However, as with anything - moderation is key here - do not eat fish for every meal of every day. 2-3 meals a week would be lots.
In closing - eat your veggies! You need at least five portions a day - in contrast to the above; these vegetables are more helpful to excess. They contain fibre, water and vitamins - and as long as they are lightly cooked in a little water or completely raw they will provide you with a ton of nutrients to help you augment your likelihood to get pregnant.
To summarize, common sense should prevail here - eat what is healthy and you are well on your way to increasing your fertility.
2. Have the correct sex to get pregnant
Everything I've been reading points to - the more the better - when it comes to having sex to get pregnant. I'm here to say that is not necessarily true. There are many women who suggest that to get pregnant you need to recharge after every attempt. Not only the female, but also the male. The more the man ejaculates - the less powerful and plentiful it becomes. At the same time, you want to ensure that the ejaculate is reaching the egg!
So a bit of advice here. Attempt at having sex, at maximum, once every three days. (For premium effect align your attempts with your ovulation cycle - more here http://www.getpregnantmum.com) This will allow your hubby's sperm to recharge, and encourage more of the little guys to take the fight on the way to the egg. Second, work at having sex in the doggy-style position. This position is very beneficial when you try to get pregnant as it encourages the sperm to hit and sit. It will not fall out of the vagina, and has much more opportunity to fertilize the egg.
3. But . . .I have a headache??
If you are trying to get pregnant, it’s a good idea to halt taking any drugs, prescribed or other - unless vital to your health. Tell your doctor that you are going to try to get pregnant and that only will take prescribed medication if you are ill. This is equally important for men as it is for women, as medications may impact sperm creation or growth. If you're on long-term medication have a conversation about this with your doctor; they might be able to prescribe a substitute if your current prescription is said to have an impact on your fertility.
Hope these opinions are helpful and will get you on your way to....
...having a healthy baby!
