Many women struggle month after month to get pregnant without success, something that can certainly make them feel bad. The first thing you should know is that if you are trying to get pregnant but you can't, it is not your fault… it is no one's fault. There are women who take longer than others and that should not make you feel bad, absolutely! You will simply have to change some habits of your life to be more likely to get pregnant and thus enhance your fertility.
You should also stop obsessing over if you become too obsessed with the idea of getting pregnant. Because maybe you know that there are things that affect pregnancy, that is, more normal things, but also there may be other factors that cause a decrease in fertility that you may not even realize is happening in your life. So from now on, you will have to take all of the following factors into account.
The weight
Weight is essential to take into account to get pregnant. Whether you are overweight or underweight can have a very negative influence on your fertility. In order for you to get pregnant more easily it is necessary that you maintain a healthy weight, that is to say that you calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) and that you stay within normal parameters. Whether you are overweight or underweight, you can develop problems in pregnancy and affect your baby as well.
Smoking or drinking
It is already known that when a woman becomes pregnant she cannot smoke or drink because it is potentially dangerous for the baby's health. But if you want to get pregnant, these habits are not healthy at all since they directly affect your fertility. Whether you smoke one cigarette or smoke 10, or if you drink alcohol twice a week or more ... you will be damaging your health and therefore your chances of getting pregnant. Smoking or drinking is not healthy for anyone, so if you have these habits it is best to get rid of them as soon as possible.
An unhealthy lifestyle
When I refer to an unhealthy lifestyle, I am not just referring to smoking or drinking as I mentioned in the previous point, I am also referring to eating improperly, that is, not having a balanced diet. But also an unhealthy lifestyle includes not doing sports (or walking daily), having a too sedentary life and not striving to feel well both physically and emotionally.
No have money
Although it seems silly, there are studies that show that people who have a stable economy, who can receive money for having children or who have a fairly stable financial security, are more likely to have children. This can be attributed to the fact that the woman will feel less stress and pressure due to the fact of becoming pregnant and that they will be able to face the expenses of having a child. And it is that as you already know, having a child costs a lot of money a year.
Sperm problems
Maybe your partner has the problem and it has nothing to do with you. There are men who may have lazy sperm, or perhaps have some type of abnormality that does not allow their sperm to fertilize the egg. Sometimes even it may be some medication you are taking.
Male obesity
As I mentioned above, a woman's BMI has a lot to do with fertility, but a man's BMI also has a lot to do with it. A man's fertility can also affect his fertility, as overweight men may be 20% more likely to be infertile than men with a normal BMI. Obese men are 36% more likely to be infertile as well. Having too much fat can lead to biological changes such as decreased testosterone production, reduced sperm motility, and even increased sperm DNA fragmentation.
Having a physically demanding or stressful job
Having a job that is physically demanding (or too stressful) can also highly harm female fertility and even lead to pregnancy complications. Careers that are physically demanding or that take a long time to take off professionally will make women delay being mothers until they are older, being more likely that later with an older age they will have more problems to be able to conceive, increasing infertility and problems in pregnancy.
Women who have a job that demands a lot physically and / or mentally need to find a way to relieve fatigue or stress after a hard day at work. If this happens to you, it will be necessary for you to spend time relaxing with your family, to call or talk with your friends, to relax with a good dinner or to enjoy a bath.
Drinking too much coffee
Although there is no evidence between coffee and fertility problems, it is necessary to take it into account in case it helps you improve your problem. Studies show that women who drink caffeinated beverages are less successful in assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). It is necessary that if you want to be a mother and get pregnant you try to stop drinking caffeinated drinks beforehand in order to increase the chances of having eggs that are mature and ready to be fertilized.
These are some of the causes that can cause problems with your fertility, so if you are looking to be a mother, it is time for you to start changing some of your habits in order to have a better chance of getting pregnant. So do not hesitate and calculate your fertile days to find out when is the best time to have sex. Remember at the same time to put stress aside, live life fully, not obsess over anything and enjoy each day ... because this way, when you least expect it if you are in good health, pregnancy will come into your life.
