4 Ways to Increase Your Fertility 

Ways to Increase Your Fertility
Written by Guest Author

It can be difficult for some couples to conceive. Fertility treatments can be expensive, time-consuming, and incredibly difficult to handle emotionally. Not to mention the entire process can take on the woman’s body. 

If you are thinking about getting pregnant or are already trying, you may want to talk to your doctor about fertility supplements for women. Now there are customized options for supplements for various fertility scenarios. There are even supplements for men – after all, this is a dream for you both. 

You may be asking yourself, what is the difference between a prenatal vitamin and a prenatal supplement? The main difference is that vitamins are naturally-occurring nutrients in our bodies, while a supplement can be naturally-occurring or synthetic chemicals taken to complement your diet. Essentially, a supplement is a great way to integrate specific things your body needs to overcome fertility difficulties. Sometimes, those needs require more than just a natural remedy.  

If you are looking to increase you and your partner’s fertility chances, here are four ways you can start. 

1. Pre-Supplements

It is usually recommended that women thinking about pregnancy should begin taking prenatal vitamins. However, if you have known fertility issues and have more difficulty conceiving, you may want to consider supplements.

While vitamins have been proven effective, you should consider this fact: Fertility doctors say that 90-95% of pregnant women become deficient in at least one key nutrient. Your prenatal fertility routine should be focused on what is missing, specifically in pregnant women.

Vitamins are more centered around generic daily values. Basically, you can take any vitamins you want, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you are getting the exact ingredient you need. In addition, only a supplement can provide the recommended daily value of Choline which supports brain-building early on as highly recommended by doctors. 

2. His & Hers Supplements

It may come as a surprise that fertility treatments can support the male body while trying to conceive. Both the egg and the sperm require a significant amount of cellular energy during fertilization and development. It is important to understand how and why these supplements will support both of you.

The men’s supplement contains CoQ10, which is actually responsible for 95% of our body’s energy production and is essential for cell growth and maintenance. Because these levels start to decline in men (and women), it’s a valuable ingredient to be found in a fertility supplement.

For women, Ubiquinol (the active form of CoQ10) acts like an antioxidant vitamin naturally produced. When these levels decline, it can lead to fertility complications, so taking a supplement is very beneficial to increase your fertility. 

The women’s supplement should also have baby-supporting nutrients, so they are present in the mother’s system at the moment of conception. Vitamin D3 is an important nutrient that helps support the mother’s teeth and bones as well as the development of the baby. It has also been credited with supporting reproductive health overall in both women and men. That’s why you should be sure your fertility supplements contain Vitamin D3.

3. Mature Mothers

Times have changed, and women are having children well into their 40s. It goes without saying that women planning pregnancy at this stage in their lives will have different needs.

An effective supplement for women over 40 should contain DHEA, which is a natural hormone precursor found in both men and women which produces testosterone. These levels decline as women age. Fertility supplements should include this essential ingredient to support growing eggs. DHEA goes even further to support the ovaries, where eggs pass through maturation before menstruation. 

A specifically designed supplement for women conceiving in their 40s will go a long way in supporting fertility. 

4. Egg Power Pack

To support female reproductive health from multiple angles, your supplement should contain two of the ingredients we have already discussed. We already know that DHEA (testosterone), and Ubiquinol (energy production), levels decrease with age and are essential in the overall support of the mother and baby during the development. 

The female eggs are the largest cell in the body and require a significant amount of energy in order to be healthy. While Ubiquinol supports the cells’ metabolism, it also helps the body maintain a healthy level of antioxidants for eggs.  

When determining ways to increase fertility, there are a lot of things to consider. The ingredients found in supplements for both women and men help support both partners during the initial phases of conception and shouldn’t be overlooked. Women over 40 have special fertility needs, and a supplement can be a critical part of their reproductive journey. And no matter what – the egg is the star and needs to be supported at all costs.

If you are looking to increase your fertility, first start with these four recommendations.
