What to do before getting pregnant

Top tips for getting pregnant

I see many patients struggling with infertility and they all have different stories to tell

about their infertility journey. Today the lifestyle we live is the biggest reason that affects thousands and lakhs of couples to become infertile. Sometimes it literally broke my heart when I listened to their stories but being and Infertility specialist, it is indeed my duty to give my best advise to all the couples across the globe to live healthy and give them the best tips to follow for their fertility. Here are certain tips that you need to keep in mind and follow religiously to conceive: 

1. First of all your age matters a lot:  

For a woman the best reproductive years are in her 20s. When a woman reaches her thirties, her fertility will gradually decline, particularly after the age of 35. In your early 30’s you only have a 20% chance of getting pregnant. So, plan early. 

2. Lifestyle choices: 

How you live is the another important factor to be considered. If you are prone to take alcohol, smoking, drugs or taking medications such as painkillers and anti-inflammatory, it will definitely hamper your chances of getting pregnant on your own and then you need to seek a fertility expert. Abstain from such choices. 

Are busy lifestyles contributing to male infertility?

Infertility is common today and has become a clinical problem today affecting 8 to 12 %

couples worldwide. However, usually people think that infertility is a female problem but science has proved both the partners contribute equally to infertility. In-fact, many studies claims that 40% cases of infertility are due to males.

Let’s see how our busy and hectic lifestyle contributes heavily in male infertility. 

Today, major problem in developing countries like India is the growing MNC culture where both the partners are working with erratic working hours and hardly got any time to be together. And of course the work place stress as everybody knows heavily contributes to sub-fertility or infertility in a couple, leading to an inability to have relations during the fertile period.

Today’s generation couples tend to marry late and then plan pregnancy even later, which further worsen the chances of pregnancy. A woman’s reproductive age spans between 15-45
