7 ways to improve fertility naturally

Many couples, who have been trying to conceive for months together and are unsuccessful, dread going to the doctor to seek treatment. Sometimes that’s the only option left but often, there are things that they can do increase their chances of conceiving. Here are some ways to improve fertility naturally:

  1. Eat a nourishing, balanced diet

Staying well-nourished and eating a healthy, balanced diet increases your odds of conceiving. Deficiencies in nutrients such as protein, iron, zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin D can cause delay in menstrual cycles and affect ovulation. Make sure your diet is rich in these nutrients. Protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, low-fat dairy products, eggs and beans should be a part of your regular diet. Ask your doctor if you need to take any nutritional supplements on a daily basis.

  1. Make lifestyle changes

According to several researches, alcohol consumption has been linked to decreased ability to get pregnant. Alcohol has been found to alter estrogen levels, which may interfere with egg implantation. An occasional drink or two doesn’t really cause too much harm as regular consumption does. Also, if you’re trying to get pregnant, cutting down on caffeine is also a good idea. Limit your daily intake to 200 mg of caffeine per day – that’s about one or two cups of coffee.

  1. Watch your weight

Excess body fat can lead to overproduction of certain hormones that can affect ovulation. It may cause changes in your ovulation cycle, causing you to ovulate less frequently and decreasing your chances to get pregnant. Even too little body fat can adversely affect your ovulation. Maintain the right weight by exercising regularly – but don’t overdo it. Talk to our team of experts at KIMS Cuddles to know more about steps to increase fertility naturally.

  1. Reduce stress

Increased levels of stress may also affect reproductive hormones and fertility in both men and women. If you experience high levels of stress in your work life or at home, take steps to ensure that you are able to relax and take time out for yourself. Try meditation; indulge in your favourite hobby, or anything that helps you manage your stress levels effectively.

  1. Take advantage of the fertile window

The fertile window is the six-days that end on the day of ovulation. Taking advantage of the fertile window can boost your chances of pregnancy. Pregnancy is most likely to occur with intercourse within the three days before ovulation.

  1. Try to eat organic

Exposure to pesticide, especially agricultural pesticides can have a negative impact on both the male and female fertility. Wash your food thoroughly before you eat or better still; try to eat pesticide-free organic foods as far as possible.

  1. Reduce your screen time

According to a study in the journal Fertility and Sterility, watching too much TV or using iPad can affect your fertility. Artificial light can affect your circadian rhythm and in turn, your fertility. Therefore, turn off the screens one or two hours before going to bed and do something relaxing, which will help you sleep more soundly. Remember: Quality of sleep is as important as quantity of sleep.

Irregular Periods: When to Investigate

Period irregularity is something many women experience at some point, and most learn to live with it, at least for a while. A late period during a stressful month, a lighter cycle after illness, a missed period after a long flight. These variations are common and usually self-correcting. The problem is that irregular periods are also how the body signals conditions that genuinely need attention, and because the irregularity can feel familiar, it is easy to keep waiting for things to normalise when they never will without proper evaluation.Knowing where the line sits between normal variation and something worth investigating is genuinely useful.What counts as irregularA normal menstrual cycle runs anywhere from 24 to 38 days, measured from the first day of one period to the first day of the next. Variation of up to eight days between the shortest and longest cycle is considered normal. Lengths ranging between 8 and 20 days of variation are considered moderately irregular, and variation of 21 days or more is considered very irregular.Changes outside the cycle length are also irregular. Periods that are either much heavier or lighter than normal, periods that are much longer or shorter than normal, periods between periods, and periods that are absent altogether, in a woman not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause,

Fertility Decline: What Women Should Know

Conversations about fertility tend to happen too late. Women often begin thinking seriously about their reproductive timeline only when they are ready to conceive. At this point, some of the most important biological facts have already been playing out for years without their awareness. The decline in female fertility with age is one of the most consistently misunderstood aspects of reproductive health, and the gap between what women know and what the biology actually shows is significant.This is not about creating anxiety. It is about giving women accurate information early enough to make genuinely informed decisions.The Fundamental BiologyA woman is born with all the eggs she is going to have in her lifetime. Her eggs age with her, decreasing in quality and quantity. Age is the single most important factor affecting a woman's fertility.Females are born with a finite number of oocytes. The number of oocytes peaks in the womb at around 20 weeks of gestation and subsequently declines steadily until approximately age 32, after which the number decreases at a greater rate until age 37, beyond which oocyte numbers drop even more rapidly.This is not something that can be slowed by fitness, diet, or general good health. Even though women today are healthier and taking better care of themselves than ever before, improved

PMOS: Causes Beyond Hormones

Most patients understand Polycystic Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, or PMOS, as a hormonal condition. Irregular periods, elevated androgens, and ovarian cysts on an ultrasound. The hormonal picture is real, but it is only part of the story. Decades of research have made it increasingly clear that PMOS is far more complex than a hormonal imbalance in isolation. It involves the metabolic system, the immune system, the gut, and genetics, all interacting in ways that produce a condition that looks different in every woman who has it.Understanding the fuller picture of what causes PMOS matters because it changes how the condition is managed and why lifestyle interventions work as well as they do.What PMOS Actually InvolvesPolycystic Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome is a complex endocrine and metabolic disorder, typically characterised by hirsutism, hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, menstrual disorders, and infertility. The name itself reflects what the condition truly is. The metabolic component is not secondary to the ovarian and hormonal picture. It is central to it. Treating the hormonal symptoms without addressing the underlying metabolic drivers is one reason PMOS management often produces only partial results.Insulin Resistance Sits at the CentrePMOS insulin resistance, where cells throughout the body fail to respond normally to insulin, is considered the primary pathological basis for the reproductive dysfunction seen in PMOS.
