What if I can’t get pregnant naturally?

There are many cases where women cannot get pregnant naturally. After years of trying without results, it can be frustrating for the couple if they don’t know what the cause is. There is a course of action that you can take if you are unable to conceive naturally.

Take stock of your life habits and be honest with yourself. You can record your daily habits and review them after a week. You will be surprised how much what you eat or eat can affect your fertility. Start with a journal of what you eat for breakfast. Keep track of your snacks, as well as your lunch and dinner. For example, write down that you had cereal and coffee for breakfast. Perhaps you had cookies as a snack with a cup of coffee. For lunch you had a chicken mayonnaise sandwich with a soda. Then you had a coffee and maybe smoked a cigarette. You had a chocolate or a packet of chips for a snack. For dinner you had rice, potatoes, and steak with a soda. When you add them up, you’ll notice that fruits and vegetables are not included in your daily food intake, plus smoking negatively affects fertility. Your body is a natural element and requires natural foods such as fruits, vegetables and water to obtain all the necessary nutrients. Meat, poultry, and fish are also good sources of nutrition. Caffeine intake should be kept to a minimum, as well as any processed foods. You will also need to assess your weight. Are you overweight or underweight? Will your body be able to handle the load of a new growing human being? These are hard-hitting questions. But you have to reflect on your lifestyle habits if you want to get pregnant.

Your partner also needs to do the same introspection since bad lifestyle habits also affect sperm production and motility. Drinking too much alcohol, poor eating habits, and weight problems can all play a role in male fertility. Excessive exercise and tight underwear also have an impact. Focus on adopting healthy lifestyle habits when you are trying to get pregnant.

If after one year and after making these lifestyle changes, conception does not occur, then you should visit a fertility clinic. You have fertility treatment options such as IVF, IUI, ICSI, Assisted Reproduction Therapy and In-Vitro Maturation, among others. A specialist fertility doctor will be able to help you with the course of treatment that suits your situation.
