Apart from taking better care of your body, there are a few other steps that can improve a woman\u2019s chances of pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Record menstrual cycles<\/h5>\n

Fertility experts advise women to track and be aware of their menstrual cycles<\/strong> \u2013 specifically how far apart one\u2019s cycles are, which will help time intercourse around ovulation (the time when ovaries release an egg).<\/p>\n

Monitor ovulation<\/h5>\n

Women usually ovulate 12 to 16 days before the start of their next period. A woman\u2019s egg is fertile for only 12 to 24 hours after release whereas a man\u2019s sperm can survive for up to 5 days in a woman\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

Home ovulation-prediction<\/strong> kits can help determine when ovulation occurs. Another method is to regularly check the amount and appearance of cervical mucus. Just before ovulation, the mucus increases and becomes thinner, clearer and more slippery.<\/p>\n

Have intercourse on alternate days<\/h5>\n

During the six-day fertile window (starting 5 days before ovulation), have sex on alternate days instead of daily, as it is easier on the couple.<\/p>\n

Aim for a healthy weight<\/h5>\n

Being too heavy or too thin reduce the odds of conceiving. Women who are underweight may not have regular periods. Losing 5 to 10% of body weight before trying to conceive can improve the fertility of an overweight woman.<\/p>\n

Take prenatal vitamins<\/h5>\n

It is strongly advised to take 400 micrograms of folic acid at least one month before getting pregnant to prevent birth defects. The baby\u2019s brain and spine development occur 3 to 4 weeks after conception before most women know they\u2019re pregnant.<\/p>\n

Eat healthy<\/h5>\n

Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, dairy and healthy fats, provides nutrients such as calcium, iron, and protein.<\/p>\n

Reduce intake of high-mercury fish like swordfish, shark, king mackerel, white tuna.<\/p>\n

Limit caffeine to 1 to 2 cups of coffee.<\/p>\n

Avoid strenuous workouts<\/h5>\n

Doctors observed menstrual irregularities in women who exercise heavily frequently.<\/p>\n

Know of age-fertility correlation<\/h5>\n

As age increases, a woman\u2019s fertility decreases due to a reduction in the quantity and quality of her eggs. Fertility declines gradually after 30\u2019s, sharper after 37, and a steeper after 40.<\/p>\n

Avoid smoking, drugs, drinking<\/h5>\n

Smoking (active or passive) ages a woman\u2019s ovaries and speed up the loss rate of her eggs. Avoid recreational drugs. It is also safest to avoid alcohol when trying to conceive.<\/p>\n

Seek help when needed<\/h5>\n

Both the woman and the man should undergo fertility evaluation if they are unsuccessful in conceiving after 6 months of regular intercourse. If the woman is below age 35, the couple can try for a year before consulting a fertility specialist.<\/p>\n
