BOOST YOUR FERTILITY ● Try charting your menstrual cycle to learn your fertile times. You might like to seek the advice of a fertility awareness teacher to help you on this. ● Check your method of contraception. If you are using a hormonal method of contraception, you may want to change to a barrier method or natural family planning method before you conceive. ● Improve your diet so you are getting the right amount of all the vitamins and minerals you need. You can consider vitamin supplements, especially for folic acid to prevent spina bifida. ● Take care when preparing food and dealing with animals to avoid food infections such as toxoplasmosis and listeriosis. ● Protect yourself from toxic chemicals and ionizing radiation in the workplace and at home. GET INTO SHAPE ● Keep your weight in the fertile range. ● Make sure you get enough exercise. ● Learn a relaxation technique to help you counter stress and anxiety. ● Stop smoking tobacco or using nicotine replacement products. ● Cut your alcohol intake to safe levels or consider avoiding it altogether. #fertility #menstrualcycle #fertilityawareness #fertilityjourney #shrishtiivf
