Is there anything non medical i can do to make myself more fertile?

Question

like certin vitamins i can take if you know the names please tell or certin things to eat, positions of intercourse, times of day to do it anything please comment.

Answer 1

-stop smoking (if you do)

-begin taking prenatal vitamins (for baby's health, does not help directly with conception)

-try losing weight if you are overweight, it may be hindering your progress

-research ovulation cycles, and look into when you are ovulating,using an ovulation predictor

-have s*x around your ovulation period

-do not use lubricant, as it may damage the sperm. IF dryness is an issue, look into the produce "preseed"..

Hope some of these suggestions help.

oh. also i've heard msisionary (man on top of woman) and "doggy style" are good positions for conceiving. but others have conceived differently so who knows :)

Answer 2

i have heard from friends that morning is when sperm count is the highest.

my friend who is a nurse told me that taking prenatal vitamins can help. if your body isnt getting enough folic acid its harder to conceive. fruits and veggies have lots of folic acid.

vitamin B6 can help with luteal phase defects and aids in healthy red blood cells this helps enrich the uterus for implantation.

i take prenatals and just started taking vitamin b6. i would also try doing internet searches you will be surprised what you can find. also there are over the counter fertility vitamins which is my next step if conception doesnt occur this month. its called fertilaid. you can buy it on different websites on the internet. http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com  has a few different fertility vitamins.

i hope this helps

Notes:

Recipe

#1 and Recipe #2 have both resulted in happy healthy babies. Recipe

#2 is a little more controversial than

#1 in that it includes vitex until pregnant and it includes a higher dose of B6. Be informed regardless of which one you use.

Vitex Information - Vitex has been used holistically for many years to balance the female hormones of estrogen and progesterone.

It eases symptoms of PMS, menopause, perimenopause, and menstruation. It has been reported to aid fertility in women by increasing progesterone in particular.

Many women suffering from LPD (luteal phase defect) may gain particular benefit. Members have reported reduction in breast tenderness and acne while on vitex.

Vitex Dosage - Dosages are included in each recipe. If you have a different brand or potency, please refer to the label directions.

Things to Avoid: Do not take vitex with clomid or any other fertility drug. They can counteract each other.

When to Take Vitex -

There are two schools of thought about taking vitex. One says to not take it during pregnancy so vitex is stopped at ovulation.

The other theory says that vitex needs to build up in your system to really work and stopping at ovulation doesn't allow it to build up enough to work. So, vitex is stopped when there is a positive HPT.

Our members have reported both methods as working and some of those beautiful children are the result of their mommies using one of these recipes.

Be informed about your choice.

Possible Side Effects: While many sources report no side effects with vitex we have heard a few things on our forums.

Headaches - Some have reported headaches that disappeared when vitex was stopped.

Cysts - Some have reported an increase in ovarian cysts. This makes sense as clomid also can potentially cause cysts.

Answer 6

i heard that pre-natals(ones with 800 folic acid or more) can help boost your fertility.  

walgreens has a good one for not that much money(think it was 9.99 for a small bottle)

Answer 7

I am from India...And people use to eat Hibiscus flower buds for increasing fertility.

I am not sure how fast it works..but it sure does and it has no side effects..
