Once upon a time there was a beautiful and terribly sexy young lady who was convinced that the best thing she could do in her life was to create a little copy of herself. She found a great partner for the purpose and felt the magic moment had arrived. Like any happy ending tale, however, this one had to go “through nine mountains into a tenth” to reach the happy ending.
Honey, you are the main character in this modern fairy tale. We’ll just help you write your own script in the most masterful way. Let’s get started with our easy yet effective tips to make getting pregnant easier.
Healthy lifestyle
Your guide – balanced nutrition and regular physical activity. These are the key ingredients in the magic potion to achieve the desired pregnancy. Above all, you need to take care of your healthy weight.
- Eat a balanced diet with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and protein;
- Exercise at least three times a week;
- Avoid drastic diets – they are like evil witches that only get in your way. Instead of going on grueling diets, focus on long-term, sustainable habits.
Learn to listen to your body and give it what it needs without depriving it.
Regular consultations with a doctor
Do not underestimate the importance of consulting a specialist. They are important to prevent any problems along the way and get the advice you need. The doctor is your faithful personal magician who will guide you through the magical process of getting pregnant.
Visit him regularly and check your TSH levels. Hormones are as fickle as fashion trends, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is key to your reproductive health.
Monitoring ovulation
Ovulation is like the golden ticket to pregnancy – you have to catch it at the right moment. Here’s how to keep track of your menstrual cycle:
- Use an ovulation calculator: a magic app that will help you determine the exact days when the chances of getting pregnant are highest. Simply enter the dates of your menstruation;
- Observe changes in cervical mucus: Yes, we know this phrase sounds like a dark incantation from an old witch, but it’s very effective. When the mucus becomes more transparent and elastic, it’s a sign that you’re in your most fertile period.
- Measure your basal body temperature: take your temperature every morning before you get out of bed. When it rises slightly, you’re probably ovulating.
Stress reduction
Stress is the number one enemy of pregnancy. To achieve your dream, you need to do everything possible to stay calm and relaxed. Sink into the kingdom of calm with these easy steps:
- Meditate regularly: you are on a desert island without internet. It’s time for total relaxation. Take a few minutes each day to meditate to calm your mind and recharge with positive energy;
- Practice yoga: The perfect way to stretch your body and calm your mind. Do a few easy poses to start. Each one is like a magical blessing that relaxes the body and fills you with peace and harmony;
- Find time for hobbies and entertainment: drawing, reading, walks in nature – every protagonist needs time for herself. Indulge in it fully – cleaning and cooking will not escape (as much as we would like to).
Important nutritional supplements
Vitamins and minerals are essential for a healthy pregnancy. Folic acid, vitamin D and zinc will be your new best friends, supporting and protecting you from the villains along the way. Add Omega-3 fatty acids to your menu as well.
For more information on recommended dosages, it is best to contact an appropriate specialist. He will tailor the amount to your individual needs.
Avoid harmful substances
Alcohol, nicotine and caffeine – these three things need to get out of your daily routine. They are the evil sorcerers who must be banished from the castle immediately.
- Minimize alcohol or stop it altogether: imagine alcohol as a dark potion that interferes with the power of magic. Better replace it with fresh drinks that fill you with energy;
- Stop smoking: nicotine is one of the biggest enemies of fertility. Imagine every cigarette is like a dark cloud blocking out the sun over your beautiful kingdom. Stop smoking and let the fresh air fill your life with new hope and possibilities;
- Limit caffeine to 200 mg. daily (about one cup of coffee): Caffeine can be the enemy if consumed in large quantities. Limit yourself to one cup of coffee a day and enjoy the rest of the day with herbal teas or fresh juices.
Have patience!
The drop with patience has broken through the stone. Remind yourself of this every time the going gets tough. Help the process along with positive thinking and believe – it will all happen at the right time.
Your happy ending is the beginning of an even more colorful and beautiful fairy tale. Rest assured – soon your kingdom will be brightened by the laughter of new life.
