Trying to Conceive
It is an incredibly emotional and difficult time for a couple trying to conceive (ttc) when month after month her period arrives or another negative home pregnancy test result.
The female body's peak fertility is between the ages of 22 and 26.
With many couples choosing to have children later - the average age of mothers giving birth is 30.
7 years - there has been a substantial increase in the numbers of people experiencing difficulty in conceiving a child.
The further a woman is away from her peak fertility years, the more important the preparation for pregnancy is.
Everyone wants to give their child the best start to life.
And this starts way back preconception.
Both men and women produce a greater proportion of abnormalities in their sperm and eggs the older they are.
This increases the changes of miscarriage.
Through pre-pregnancy planning a couple can optimise the cellular development of their ova and sperm to provide the best opportunity to conceive and to conceive well.
Even couples who may be in the 'normal' peak period may have difficulty conceiving a child.
The stresses of life or other health issues may be impacting on the quality of the sperm or ova.
However, if you are having difficulty getting or staying pregnant, there are many things you can do.
The most important are; · Understand your cycle - count the days of your period and in between.
Use one of the many online ovulation calculators to understand when you are ovulating so that you are trying to conceive at the right time.
· Be healthy - eat, sleep and exercise well.
To provide the best physical environment for conception you need to look after yourself.
· Pre-natal vitamins and minerals.
Your nutritional needs when you are in your peak fertility are very different to those in your early 30's and different again in your late 30's.
To make sure your body has the nutrients it needs to produces excellent quality eggs and a good physical environment for pregnancy, take a pre-natal supplement.
There are a number of pre-natal supplements available.
Make sure the one you choose is more than a basic folic acid, iron and fish oil formula with small amounts of other vitamins.
In recent years, there have been many medical studies into the impacts of particular minerals and vitamins on the quality of reproductive health.
Source a pre-natal formula that draws on these findings - often by integrative medicine practitioners - those that draw from both Western Medical knowledge and complementary, more natural therapies.
