If you are yet to discover your fertility status, or if you are already facing infertility challenges, you need to take control of your fertility if you want to start or expand your family.
There are both male and female factors to be aware of. By taking control of your fertility you can stand up to possible fertility challenges. It is important to remember that infertility challenges are very common and that there are various treatments available.
Where Should You Begin?
To increase chances of conception it is important to foster adequate sexual exposure, healthy eating habits and maintain a healthy weight. Factors that decrease chances of conception include stress, alcohol (abuse), smoking and recreational drug use. All of the above apply to men and women.
Have You Spoken to a Healthcare Professional?
You don’t have to see a specialist or go through expensive treatments immediately. A general practitioner will be able to guide you based on the information you provide. Factors to rule out include intercourse timing, stress, medications that could be interfering, depression/anxiety and STDs. Provided answers and applicable test results will help determine the way forward.
