Did you wait until later in life to start a family? Today, more and more women are waiting to start their families. They are starting their careers, getting married, and spending time traveling before ever attempting to conceive. Although this often results in better prepared and more financially secure parents, it can make conception harder to achieve. If you are currently trying to conceive, and you waited longer to begin your family, you will find the following tips to improve your chances of conception.
Monitor your cycle more closely
Women on birth control or practicing abstinence may not follow their monthly cycles as closely. They may lose track of dates and not notice a missed cycle. When you are trying to conceive, however, monitoring is important. Monitoring your monthly cycle is the best way to learn more about your body and to improve your chances. Older women are usually trying to conceive before their bodies go into menopause. Without following your cycles closely, you may go into menopause without every noticing it. Generally, once a woman has experienced 12 months without a period, she is classified as being in menopause and for the remainder of her life is described as post menopausal. Post menopausal women find it much harder to successfully conceive.
Regularly exercise
Exercise is important for fertility. The heather that your body is, the easier it is to conceive a baby. Additionally, regular exercise can make the pregnancy and delivery part easier. The inability to conceive is sometimes caused by low T levels which can be better regulated with regular exercise. In fact, your physician or infertility specialist may encourage you to stick to a strict exercise routine to increase low T levels.
Eat a well balanced diet
Many women are also surprised to learn that their eating habits could be contributing to their lack of conception. They may spend many visits and thousands of dollars on anti aging therapy, to find that they are lacking essential nutrients to successfully conceive. Work with a nutritionist to find a meal plan that works for you and that compensates for your missing nutrients. Some foods can be used to naturally increase low T levels. It is also important to combine a well balanced diet with daily exercise for the best results.
Find a good gynecologist
You may or may not have attempted to find a gynecologist as you started to try for conception. It is best to work with a gynecologist versus a primary physician for concerns of infertility. Underlying gynecological problems can also lead to infertility. Additionally, gynecologists have more advanced of tools and diagnostics to classify the conception problem. The gynecologist can also offer infertility options, including medicine, surgery, intra uterine insemination, or assisted reproductive technology. They can also closely follow hormonal levels, such as low T levels.
Reduce stress
While many causes of infertility are due to hormonal or physical problems, it can also be caused by high amounts of stress. The simple difficulty of conception can also lead to stress. Extended periods of stress can also lead to early menopause. Women who lived through extended periods of economic hardship were also more likely to begin this physical transition earlier, according to a report published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. When possible, attempt to keep stress at bay, especially when going through hormone therapy or menopausal treatment at your anti aging clinic.
For some women, it makes sense to hold off on starting a family. Waiting a couple of years can put you in a better position to successfully parent. It can also, however, reduce your chances of conception. Dealing with infertility can be overwhelming and stressful. It is important to monitor your monthly cycle closely, exercise often, eat healthy, find a good gynecologist, and attempt to keep stress reduced. These steps will improve your current infertility treatments and could help you conceive earlier.
