5 Natural Ways to Increase Fertility in Women

When it comes to trying to get pregnant, you may come across a few obstacles along the way.  In fact, the Office of Women’s Health estimates that approximately 10% of women in the United States struggle with infertility. If you have been engaging in unprotected sex for over a year without being able to conceive, it is possible that infertility may be the cause.

However, all hope is not lost. There are a few simple lifestyle changes and health tips you can implement to improve your chances of getting pregnant. Whether you are just beginning your journey or have been struggling for some time, continue reading to discover five natural ways to increase fertility. 

1. Receive Nutrient IV Therapy 

Just as micronutrients are essential for many functions of the body, they are also vital for maintaining optimal fertility. In fact, vitamins and minerals play important roles in menstruation, ovulation, and hormone regulation. Below are the most important micronutrients for female fertility.

• B Complex Vitamins include B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin). The main role of these micronutrients is to help your body create energy by forming red blood cells. B vitamins have also been shown to decrease one’s risk of ovulatory infertility, or fertility caused by irregular or nonexistent ovulation. When it comes to increasing fertility, vitamin B9, better known as folic acid, is the most essential as it helps increase progesterone levels to keep your cycle regular. 
• Zinc is a trace mineral the body needs to function properly. In addition to its roles in immune and metabolic function, zinc is also essential for maintaining fertility. The micronutrient helps promote cell growth as well as regulate hormone functions to ensure regular ovulation. 
• Selenium is an essential mineral that provides powerful antioxidant effects while supporting hormone production. It is also vital for the formation of follicles, or the small sacs of fluid that contain egg cells.

For the quickest absorption, we recommend Nutrient IV Therapy to replenish your body with vitamins and minerals. The intravenous method produces higher potency than traditional oral supplements. At Aqua Vitality, we offer six different therapies chock full of the essential vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, and minerals that your body needs to conceive. 

2. Maintain a Healthy Weight

As a woman trying to become pregnant, being overweight or obese can hinder your efforts. This is because fat cells create estrogen, and too much of this hormone can make your body react as if you are already pregnant or using hormonal birth control. As a result, your body may not ovulate, preventing you from becoming pregnant. The good news is that losing weight greatly increases your chances of conceiving.  

If you have difficulty losing weight, it may be beneficial to seek out medical intervention to support your weight loss goals. At Aqua Vitality, we can create an individualized weight loss plan that fits into your lifestyle to help you reach an ideal weight for conceiving. 

3. Boost Your Libido

When trying to conceive, engaging in regular sex is imperative. In fact, doctors recommend engaging in intercourse 3-4 times per week when trying to become pregnant. However, this can be difficult for women who struggle with low sex drive. What’s more, dyspareunia, or pain during intercourse, can further deter you from engaging in sex. If you struggle with these symptoms, it is important to seek treatment to improve your sex life and increase your chances of becoming pregnant. 

At Aqua Vitality, we offer several treatments for low sex drive and dyspareunia, including testosterone and estrogen hormone therapy. We also offer the O-Shot and Juliet Vaginal Rejuvenation — two procedures that revitalize the vaginal wall to increase sexual desire and lubrication as well as decrease pain. Following treatment, your sex life will be rejuvenated so you can engage in sexual activity more often.

4. Reduce Stress

Scientific evidence has shown a link between women’s stress levels and infertility. This is because your body innately knows that times of high stress are not ideal for carrying a pregnancy. Therefore, it is important to take steps to reduce your stress levels and promote relaxation. Whether that means getting a weekly facial or massage, practicing yoga or meditation, or receiving our popular iRelax IV therapy, it is important to find what relaxation techniques work for you in order to boost your chances of conceiving. 

5. Consider Your Partner’s Health 

Although rarely discussed, male factor infertility is quite common. According to a scientific study, 40-50% of all infertility cases are caused by male issues. This can be due to many factors, ranging from low sperm quality to low testosterone levels. Furthermore, excess weight, stress, and poor nutrient intake play important roles in male fertility as well. So, when struggling with infertility, be sure your partner is taking measures to improve his health and fertility as well.
