Will I Have a Problem Getting Pregnant?

Most girls, when growing up, don‘t consider whether or not they‘ll be able to have a baby – they just assume they will one day. Then when the time comes that they‘re actually planning it, they start to worry – even if there‘s been no sign of a problem with their fertility.

There are different levels of fertility. There are those who find themselves infer
tile after a year or more of trying to conceive. There‘s also primary infertility (infertility without a previous pregnancy) and secondary infertility (infertility after having already conceived a child), and sterility, which means you have no chance of conception. If you‘re wondering where you might be, you should know that 15-20% of couples in the United States alone encounter difficulties in getting pregnant. The causes range from minor issues like using a non-productive position during sex to a major reason, like one of the partners being sterile.

Most women are worried because they are simply uninformed. Plus, there are a lot of myths floating around on the net and offline that cause a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety.

Here are some of the many reasons why you and your partner may be experiencing trouble getting pregnant if it‘s been more than a year and you‘ve had no luck making a baby:

• Ovulation issues
• Ovarian cysts (PCOS)
• Sperm issues(eg low sperm count)
• Endometriosis
• Blocked fallopian tubes
• Fibroids
• Stress
• Weight gain

Of course this list isn‘t comprehensive, but it does include some of the more common issues that affect a couple‘s chance of conceiving. And unfortunately, many couples who can‘t conceive a baby after a year of trying, seem to have nothing medically wrong with either of them, and simply fall into the category of ―unexplained infertility‖, which is the medical term for ―we don‘t have any idea why you‘re not conceiving.‖ Which raises a very interesting question. If so many couples have ―unexplained infertility‖, which means there is no obvious medical reason why they can‘t conceive, doesn‘t it stand to reason that there is a lot more to conception than the doctors know about? And then the idea that both men and women can make a variety of personal changes to improve their own fertility really does make a heck of a lot of sense, don‘t you agree?

It is becoming increasingly evident that when your body is not in optimum health, or is overloaded with toxins, or is not given enough nutrients, the body's ability to reproduce can be dramatically effected.

Sometimes it may just take an alternative approach—a change in lifestyle or the use of alternative therapies for instance, to make conception possible. Conception is a miraculous and quite complex phenomenon—undoubtedly influenced by many subtle internal and external factors. It stands to reason that we all have the power to make changes within ourselves that can maximize our fertility and make the difference in our ability to conceive a baby.

Get Pregnant Tips:- Get Plenty of Sun and Sleep

Sleep helps restore many parts of our bodies, including the reproductive system. When sleep suffers over the long run, it can impact your hormone balance. Long term sleep loss can disrupt the menstrual cycle, which can then cause a delay in the time it takes to get pregnant. Lack of sleep can even cause you to stop ovulating altogether. Additionally, daily light exposure has an influence on ovulation and reproductive hormones. Current research suggests that the hormones that trigger ovulation, and even the sperm maturation process, are somehow tied into the body's biological clock Since the same part of the brain that regulates sleep-wake hormones also stimulates daily pulses of reproductive hormones for men and women, scientists suspect some feedback between these systems.

When your body is exposed to sunlight, it also gets some much needed health benefits, such as an added dose of Vitamin D. Sunlight also helps improve your mood, which is essential when you‘re going through the process of trying to get pregnant. While sunlight is good for your health and contributes to a better reproductive system, you also want to make sure you don‘t overdo it and get too much sunlight. This can lead to sunburns, retinal damage, and skin cancer. The bottom line is this, get plenty of rest and a good dose of daily sunlight (approximately 1 hour) to keep your reproductive hormones in check.

I hope you will find this tip useful.

Signs of Infertility: How to Know if You are Experiencing Infertility
by Dalene Barton, CH, Doula

The first and most obvious sign of infertility is the inability to achieve pregnancy within first year of trying to concieve. The couple may have no other signs or symptoms of infertility. They may not even have thought about it very much, but after some time come to the realization that they haven’t gotten pregnant yet.


What should you do if you suspect there may be something inhibiting pregnancy? What are the signs and symptoms of infertility? What are the reasons for infertility? What can I do to find out if I am experiencing infertility?

Infertility Symptoms
Some couples may not have obvious signs of infertility. While others know that they have been diagnosed with a fertility issue in the past. Approximately 90% of couples will achieve pregnancy within the first 12 months of unprotected intercourse. Most of the remaining 10% will go on to have children either naturally or through medical assistance such as IVF.

If you suspect you may be experiencing infertility, here are signs to look for:

Signs of Infertility in Women

Irregular menstrual cycles
• Absent menstruation (amenorrhea)
• Short (less than 21 days)
• Long (over 35 days)
• Heavy or long menstruation
• Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation)
• Short menstruation time
• Very pale menstruation
• Clotty or very dark purple/black menstruation
• Mid-cycle bleeding

Hormonal Imbalance
Irregular menstrual cycles may be a sign of hormonal imbalance, or other more serious fertility issues. If any of the these hormones are not at the correct levels, the menstrual cycle may become irregular. Hormonal Imbalance may cause a variety of other health related issues that may affect quality of life. For example thinning hair, heart palpitations, low libido, depression, ect.
• Progesterone
• Estrogen
• Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
• Androgens for example DHEA, Testosterone
• Thyroid hormones
• Prolactin

Over the Age of 35
Women over 35 may experience a decrease in fertility. The average 30 year old woman has a 20% chance of getting pregnant during any one cycle, but by the age of 40 that chance decreases to only a 5% chance of naturally conceiving during any one cycle. If you are over 35 years of age and you have been trying for 6 months or more unsuccessfully, it is time to see a doctor.

Previous Fertility Related Diagnosis
• Endometriosis
• PCOS
• Uterine Fibroids
• Ovarian Cysts
• STD’s
• Recurrent Miscarriages (more than 3)
• Adenomyosis
• Blocked Fallopian Tubes
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

Tomatoes can Boost Fertility

Studies have already shown that lycopene is a valuable aid in warding off heart disease and numerous types of cancer, such as prostate, cervical, breast and lung.

What part exactly lycopene plays in fertility, remains a mystery... But in a few small studies, men who increased their lycopene intake, saw statistically significant improvements in their sperm.
When you take into account that higher levels of lycopene are associated with increased fertility, then it seems an important bit of information.

Guess what? While fresh tomatoes have many benefits to health, one fresh tomato contains only 3.7mg of lycopene. One cup of tomato soup, on the other hand, has approximately 25mg of lycopene It is also
more digestible in its "cooked" form. Other good sources of lycopene include pink grapefruit, apricots, papaya, watermelon and guava. The tomato, however, has the most!

Now of course, just adding tomato soup to your diet is not going to have a dramatic effect on fertility all by itself.But knowing that adding cooked tomatoes to your diet can have a positive effect on male fertility should make you aware that making many small changes, not only in diet but in lifestyle, can add up to a BIG BOOST in fertility.

Garnish your meals today with fresh tomatoes.

I guess you will find this useful.

Aviod This If you are trying to concieve

When you are trying to get pregnant, it is very important to be aware of what pain medication you may be taking, as some can increase the risk of miscarriage or prevent conception.


Basically, you should avoid all painkillers other than acetaminophen or Paracetamol (otherwise known as Tylenol), which have no harmful effects. But do avoid ibuprofin,aspirin, and others, which could affect the ability of the embryo to implant into the womb. The embryo may not implant at all (no pregnancy) or it can implant poorly, resulting in an early miscarriage.

The most dangerous time to be taking these medications is when you are approaching ovulation.

How to increase your chances of conceiving and preventing miscarriages


Over the past twenty years, fertility problems have increased dramatically. At least 25 percent of couples planning a baby will have trouble conceiving, and more and more couples are turning to fertility treatments to help them have a family.

What is the cause? From a medical point of view, infertility is believed to be caused by the following factors, and in these proportions.

Problem Percentage of cases:

Ovulatory failure (including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)20%
Tubal damage 15%
Endometriosis 5%
Male problems 26%
Unexplained 30%

If the mathematics don’t add up, it’s because many couples experience more than one problem when trying to conceive: for example, you may suffer from endometriosis, but your partner may also have a low sperm count.

Interestingly, the most common cause of infertility is ‘unexplained’, which means that following thorough investigations, doctors can find no specific or identifiable medical problem at the root. But this is where a natural approach can come into play. If a couple fails to become pregnant, there is obviously something causing the problem. It’s no good labelling infertility ‘unexplained’. The answer is to look deeper – at lifestyle factors, nutritional deficiencies and even emotional elements.

What are your choices?

The natural approach to fertility is and has been enormously successful, largely because fertility is multi-factorial, meaning that there are many, many elements that can be at the root of your fertility problems. A study conducted by the University of Surrey showed that couples with a previous history of infertility who made changes in their lifestyle, diet and took nutritional supplements had an 80 percent success rate Given that the success rate for assisted conception is around 20 percent, it’s worth considering these options.

Natural treatment plans are, by their nature, extensive and really do need to be adjusted to suit your individual needs. I will, however, go through the most important points below. Remember that it takes at least three months for immature eggs (oocytes) to mature enough to be released during ovulation. It also takes at least three months for sperm cells to develop, ready to be ejaculated. This means that when you are trying to improve your fertility, you need to have a four-month period before conceiving. This is called ‘pre-conception care’ and it’s as important to take as much care during this period as it is during a pregnancy itself.

If you are going for IVF treatment or another assisted conception procedure, you should follow the recommendations listed below in order to increase the chances that the procedure will work.

One test which is particularly useful for infertility is the Female Hormone Test (saliva).

Female Hormone Test (saliva)

A total of eleven saliva samples are collected at home at specific times across one cycle, and sent to the lab for analysis. This simple test will chart the level of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone across the month, to work out a pattern that may reveal:

early ovulation
anovulation (no ovulation)
problems with the phasing of the cycles, such as a short luteal phase (second half of the cycle)
problems with maintaining progesterone levels
This test can be done even if you have irregular cycles.

Diet

Both you and your partner should follow the dietary recommendations explained in the Nutrition Section (The Foundation of Health) Although it goes without saying that a healthy diet is crucial to a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby, many people are unaware of the fact that diet can help to correct hormone imbalances that may affect your ability to conceive. There are also certain foods and drinks that are known to lower fertility.

Alcohol
Alcohol will affect both you and your partner. In fact, drinking any alcohol at all can reduce your fertility by half – and the more you drink, the less likely you are to conceive. One study showed that women who drank less than 5 units of alcohol a week (equal to five glasses of wine) were twice as likely to get pregnant within six-months compared with those who drank more.

Research has also shown that drinking alcohol causes a decrease in sperm count, an increase in abnormal sperm and a lower proportion of motile sperm. Alcohol also inhibits the body’s absorption of nutrients such as zinc, which is one of the most important minerals for male fertility.

As difficult as it may seem, you should eliminate alcohol from your diets for at least three months in order to give yourself the best possible chance of conceiving.

Caffeine
There is plenty of evidence to show that caffeine, particularly in the form of coffee, decreases fertility. Drinking as little as one cup of coffee a day can halve your chances of conceiving. On study showed that problems with sperm: sperm count, motility and abnormalities, increase with the number of cups of coffee consumed each day. Once again, it’s important to eliminate all caffeine-containing food and drinks for at least three months before trying to conceive. That includes colas, chocolate, black teas and coffee, among other things.

Xenoestrogens
Xenoestrogens are essentially environmental oestrogens, coming from pesticides and the plastic industry. When you are trying to conceive, one of the most important things you need to do is to balance your hormones. It is extremely important to avoid anything that might cause an imbalance, and one of the main culprits is the xenoestrogens. One of the best ways to eliminate an excess intake of xenoestrogens is to buy organic produce for the pre-conceptual period.

Smoking
Smoking has definitely been linked with infertility in women..... Continue aticle here : /p11htG-55

Pregnancy Tips:= Laughter Therapy
Ever heard the phrase, ―laughter is the best medicine?‖ Well it rings true for infertility, too. You may be shaking your head wondering, ―How am I going to find any reason to laugh during this time when I‘m so emotional and distraught?‖ In some studies, women exposed to laughter therapy during infertility treatments were able to get pregnant faster than women who did not participate. It doesn‘t seem to take much, either – just 10-15 minutes a day. So go ahead – rent your favorite I Love Lucy episode or go with your partner to a comedy club tonight – and give your odds at conception a boost.

Mistakes to Aviod if your are Trying to Get Pregnant:


Here's the first one...Did you know that something
as simple as using the wrong lubrication when you have
intercourse can spoil your chances of getting pregnant? I had
no idea! In fact, I thought a little lubrication would
actually help--were you thinking the same thing too?

Well, it turns out, most store-bought lubricants will
damage the sperm and so they are strictly forbidden! The
same goes for vaseline or KY jelly. If you are using this
type of lubrication, you could be reducing your chances of
conceiving by half!!!

Luckily, there are a couple of things you can use as a
substitute. One is eggwhites. Yup, as in real eggs!
You just leave one out for a while (they're much too cold,
straight from the fridge), and then you crack it open and
use the eggwhite (not the yolk) in place of lubrication.
Believe it or not, eggwhites are extremely sperm friendly!!

Lastly, one of the best ways to improve your chance of
getting pregnant is to increase your natural lubrication.
This can be achieved by introducing more pre-intimacy into
your "baby-making activities" which will increase your
arousal and therefore you will have more natural
lubrication to help the sperm to stay alive. Also, if a
man is more aroused, he will have a better ejaculation
which results in more sperm, which is a good thing!!

I hope you enjoyed this tip...stay tuned for another
lesson tomorrow which is all about "sperm-saving."
