Q: Research does not point to one specific diet that increases fertility; however, getting your body as healthy as possible can up your chances of conceiving and prep for a healthy pregnancy. Go for a diet rich in lean protein, fruit, vegetables, healthy fats, and whole grains. For starters, up your fruit and vegetable intake. Consuming a lot of plants is great for your overall health. Keep baby carrots, berries, and things like apples and oranges on hand for snacks. Try to have a salad before every meal. Go for vegetable-based side dishes, like grilled broccoli or asparagus. Go for non-starchy grains. Opt for whole wheat bread and pasta over white bread and pasta. Choose brown rice instead of white rice. In terms of protein, go for lean options like fish and lean poultry. You can also get some protein from low-fat dairy products, like low-fat cheese and milk. Limit your consumption of sugar. Products with added sugar really do nothing for a balanced diet. It may be a good idea to cut sugar out, for a variety of reasons; however, if you have a sweet tooth, work on indulging it in moderation. Only have dessert a few nights a week. Stick to mini-sized candy bars over the larger variety. Go for diet soda over regular. Women who are overweight or underweight may have increased difficulty conceiving. Getting to a healthy weight can increase your chances of pregnancy. A healthy weight is defined as a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. You can calculate your BMI using a height/weight chart, an online calculator, or having your doctor assess your BMI. If your BMI does not fall within the above range, you may need to gain or lose weight. Overweight and underweight women struggle to conceive and may be prone to further complications during pregnancy. If your BMI is below 18.5, or 25 or above, you should talk to a doctor about how to get on track to a healthier weight. Weight loss or gain should usually be supervised by a physician. If you're planning on getting pregnant, seeing a physician regularly is a good idea anyway. In general, to gain weight you would increase your caloric intake while lowering your rate of exercise. To lose weight, you would decrease your caloric intake while increasing your amount of exercise each day. If you're a woman of childbearing age, you should be eating between 1,800 and 2,400 calories a day. You can count calories by hand, looking up the number of calories in your favorite food online. There are also many smartphone applications that count calories for you when you enter the food you eat each day. Weight loss or gain should be a slow process. For healthy, sustainable weight loss or gain, do not aim to gain or lose more than 1 or 2 pounds each week. While that number sounds small, if you're diligent with your exercise and eating habits, you'll be surprised how quickly your weight loss or gain adds up. This can be achieved by cutting out 500 calories a day. In order to conceive, regular sexual activity is important. If you're having sex one to two times a week, you should eventually hit a fertile point in your cycle and conceive. You can greatly increase your chances at conception by having sex once a day in the days leading up to ovulation. If you and your partner have a busy schedule, making time for sex can sometimes be difficult. After a long day, it can be hard to get into the mood. Try to incorporate a pre-sex ritual into your routine. Turn off all electronics, go into the bedroom alone, and try to play some romantic music or light a candle. Make sex a priority. Many couples get caught up in a variety of responsibilities and regular sex falls to the wayside. While it may seem non-romantic to schedule sex, many couples find it helps them maintain regular intimacy. Try to block off an hour or so each day for sex with your partner. . The evidence on stress's effect on fertility in and of itself is still inconclusive. Some studies, however, do indicate a lower overall stress level may have a positive impact on fertility. Regardless of the precise effect of stress on pregnancy, it's a good idea to work on lowering your stress when trying to conceive. High stress can affect you ability to eat right and exercise regularly. You may also be more likely to drink alcohol when stressed and may have a lower sex drive. This can all inhibit your ability to live a lifestyle that promotes fertility. Engage in practices like yoga, deep breathing, mindfulness, and meditation. These activities help you keep your mind in the present moment, preventing anxiety from disrupting your thoughts. You can take meditation or yoga classes at a local community center. You can also find guided routines online. Practicing basic self care can also help reduce stress. Try to get in at least 20 minutes a day of physical exercise, like a light walk or jog. Eat three well-balanced meals per day and two light snacks to avoid feeling hungry. Get at least eight hours of sleep a night. If you are having trouble regulating your stress, you may have an underlying anxiety disorder that's preventing you from relaxing. Talking to a therapist may help. You can find a therapist by finding a list of providers through your insurance. You can also ask your regular physician for a referral.
