Let us know everything that might be affecting your fertility and learn ways to curb them; this way, you can carry your little bundle of joy soon.

Defining the term Ayurveda

This term is derived from the words “Ayu”, which means life, and “Verda”, which means science. It is not modern technology, but it involves knowing and treating any ailments that concern the body. In other words, if there is an imbalance in one of these areas, body, mind, or soul, it can affect the other.

Factors affecting both your menstrual cycle and fertility

Age

Age plays a significant role when it comes to these two; as you age or grow older, your periods tend to become more irregular and complex to track, causing your fertility to decline, especially in women around their late 30s and 40s

Exercising is Important

Exercising some strenuous workouts can cause irregular menses, and not exercising whilst gaining weight can also disrupt the hormonal balance by increasing the production of oestrogen leading, which can affect ovulation.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

This condition causes anovulation and/or absent, painful or heavy periods. It is caused by a hormonal imbalance that stops the growth or release of eggs from the ovaries. Smoking research found that smoking leads to irregular periods and can contribute to low oestrogen and egg production.

Try these six foods to boost your fertility.

Below is a healthy diet that contains all the proper nutrients to help boost your fertility.

1. Salmon fish:  It is rich in omega-3, helps reduce inflammation and improves blood flow to the uterus for embryo implantation.
2. Cinnamon: Cinnamon is a herb or spice that can help cure or reduce PCOS or irregular periods.
3. Full-fat dairy: If you are lactose intolerant, this is not recommended; full-fat dairy contains saturated fats that help decrease the chances of anovulation, but it should be taken in moderate amounts.
4. Citrus: Examples of oranges, lemons and more are packed with vitamin C, which can help with ovulation.
5. Berries: Berries contain antioxidants that help eliminate free radicals and produce healthy eggs.
6. Whole Eggs: Eggs are a source of protein, and the micronutrients found in the yolk can help minimise congenital disabilities 

5 Tips on how to get pregnant

1. Engage in sexual intercourse with your partner every single day during your fertile window, and that is 14 days before your next period.
2. Eat or follow a healthy diet that includes food rich in omega-3 and vitamins.
3. Stay hydrated to have hormonal balance and optimal cervical mucus.

Take good care of yourself, make sure to visit your nearest OB-GYN, and do not forget to frequently take a pregnancy test. If the two lines do not appear, do not be disheartened. You just have to maintain the standard and keep trying.
