Increase Chances of Pregnancy - 3 Easy Tricks That Help Boost Fertility


Learning how to increase chances of pregnancy can be an extremely overwhelming ordeal because it is usually more than 1 thing that helps in women getting pregnant. Some of these different factors include holistic and traditional methods.

The fact of the matter is a large part of the problem women face mostly have to do with hormone irregularity. Factors like weight, stress, mood, body temperature, lifestyle and household and beauty products are all things that can turn a perfectly healthy woman into someone affected by infertility.

If you have been attempting to conceive for a year or longer, do not get upset if you have been unsuccessful. Believe me, you are definitely not alone. In fact, a rapidly growing trend in the U.S. is a thing called "unexplained infertility". Let's take a moment to think about that. Rather than try natural and holistic methods to solve infertility, conventional OB's and fertility specialists diagnose a woman with "unexplained infertility" when all drugs, injections and surgeries fail. See, conventional practitioners have to say that because they are bound by the AMA to only use approved methods to solve medical problems. This is because they can easily get sued with no defense if they use unconventional or unapproved methods, and fail or cause a side effect in the patient. So when their methods fail, they basically put the blame on you and your body by labeling you as someone with unexplained infertility.

This sounds like a hopeless case to a woman who has tried and failed to conceive. But it is also good news because it is an opportunity to really learn how to increase chances of pregnancy by using natural methods that have been used for thousands of years.

We are facing so many different lifestyle changes these days, and these changes have had a tremendous impact on fertility rates for both women and men. The chemicals in the preserved and non-organic foods we eat, the plastics we use and drink out of, and the hectic pace we live through are only a few different factors that contribute to infertility issues.

Unfortunately, some of these factors are all around us and are impossible to avoid. But the good news is that there are easy and basic tricks to getting pregnant that conventional OB's and holistic specialists recommend.

The main issue with learning how to increase chances of pregnancy is that the information to do so naturally is scattered in hundreds of books and thousands of different websites, blogs and forums.

In any case, here are just a few tricks you can use to learn how to increase chances of pregnancy:

Diet:

DO NOT run off in horror because of this word. I know it is the most dreaded four letter word in the English language. But remember, even though weight does have an impact on fertility, I am sure you can take a quick glance around any mall, store or street corner in any town in the U.S. and find many overweight women who are pregnant. Unless you are morbidly obese, losing weight is not the primary goal here, so "diet" is only referring to the types of foods you eat.

For example, things like processed sugars have a negative effect on blood sugar and insulin levels, thereby leading to hormonal imbalance. Foods high in soy and the ingredient soy lecithin, also affect hormone levels because they create estrogen mimicking hormones in the body which not only throw off hormone levels in women trying to conceive, but are a leading contributor to breast cancer and male infertility as well.

Remember, if you are buying fresh foods make sure the fruits, veggies and meats are organic, or as organic as you can get. Look for hormone free proteins and dairy. If you can't do 100% organic, just try to tip your scale more towards the organic side to start seeing differences.

And remember to check food ingredients before buying. There are many foods to increase into your diet and to avoid, unfortunately I can't get into them because of space limitations.

Lifestyle - Acupuncture, Exercise and Stress:

Acupuncture is a phenomenal way to quickly see internal results. Acupuncture can increase blood flow, reduce stress, improve sperm quality and motility in men and help women to increase the thickness in the uterine lining.

Yoga also helps to increase blood flow to reproductive organs by loosening muscles and connective tissues in essential parts of the body: the lower back, pelvic area and groin. It also helps in de-stressing, relaxing and strengthening the body as well.

Stress has been shown to be one of the main contributing factors of many health issues from heart disease to fertility. Stress creates havoc in the body, and along with diet can be the main reason why you are not getting pregnant. Many times a combination of changing one's diet and de-stressing has been enough to allow some women to overcome infertility.

In recent studies, women who took stress management programs had 160% higher success rates for getting pregnant undergoing IVF treatments. This study really emphasizes the destructive impact stress has on women's fertility.

Stress is a woman's avowed enemy and reducing it by any means is necessary. Tips on reducing stress include taking walks, exercising, aroma therapy, baths, day trips, vacations, time away from work, prayer and reading. This can be customized any way you would like.

Remember, use a combination of traditional and holistic methods to have the quickest impact. There isn't only one way to overcome infertility. The goal is to use holistic methods to focus on the root of fertility problems and then apply mild conventional means to treat the root symptoms once uncovered. By combining these two elements together women have had better success than using only 1 method alone.

Learning is how to increase chances of pregnancy is not easy, and you try to find someone to help you along the way. By doing so your journey to increase chances of pregnancy can be a lot less confusing and daunting.
