Would you like to know how to increase female fertility? Throughout human history, people have tried many ways to increase female fertility. As early as the Upper Paleolithic Period, people have sought divine intervention to enable women to become pregnant.http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/474788/prehistoric-religion/52333/Female-fertility-deities
Today, even in the most developed countries, there are women who still follow rituals in an attempt to become fertile or more fertile. Although age-old traditions for increasing female fertility survive, they do not necessarily promise a predictable decent rate of success. Fortunately, the women of today have something more than rituals to increase their fertility. While there is science for increasing female fertility, there is also pseudo-science. Unfortunately, the gap between science and pseudoscience frequently becomes blurry. That is why it is important for women trying to maximize their fertility to consult only trustworthy professionals.
How to Increase Female Fertility
Dr. Michael Lu, MD MPH, of UCLA, is the author of "Get Ready to Get Pregnant: Your Complete Prepregnancy Guide to Making a Smart and Healthy Baby." He shares five scientific tips on how to increase female fertility.
Step 1: Make a Reproductive Life Plan
After sexual maturity, infertility is directly proportional to age. Less than 10% of women under the age of thirty are infertile. By the time they reach their forties, they are 30% likely to be infertile. That is why it is important to set up a plan for having children. A reproductive life plan is a set of personal goals about having or not having children, based on personal values and resources. It also includes a timeline to achieve these goals. Humans have a biological clock, and they should not wait that long to have babies.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgyaGJ3eeYk
Step 2: Practice Safe Sex
One of leading causes of infertility in America is blocked fallopian tubes, which result largely from previous Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, which is caused typically by sexually transmitted diseases such as Gonorrhea and Chlamydia. Safe sex is, therefore, a necessary strategy for a woman who wants to increase her fertility.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgyaGJ3eeYk
Step 3: Maintain Healthy Weight
A healthy amount of body fat is important, but excess body fat can make women less fertile by interfering with their hormonal balance and disrupting their ovulation. Overweight women who would like to become more fertile should lose weight.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgyaGJ3eeYk
Step 4: Combat Stress
Learn not to get stressed out. Chronic stress can disrupt a woman's hormonal balance and ovulation. In addition, stress is a major risk factor in a number of pregnancy complications like miscarriage and premature birth. Adequate exercise and sleep are time-tested remedies for stress. Practice relaxation techniques like breathing exercises. Transcendental meditation may also help. Working on your problem-solving skills, developing a positive mental health and working on your relationship with your partner are some of the best things you can do to prepare yourself for pregnancy and parenthood.
Step 5: See a Doctor
There are a lot of things a doctor can do to increase a woman's fertility. Polyps in the uterus can cause chronic inflammation, which may act like an intra-uterine device to impede fetus implantation. By removing polyps, a doctor can increase female fertility. Women who plan to have babies need to commence prenatal care before getting pregnant.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgyaGJ3eeYk
