It does not matter that you do not want a child right now, it is likely that you want in the future. Doctors at Yale College are serious: you need to plan how conception happens, just when you turned 20. One of the 10 couples of reproductive age experiencing problems conceiving, and to avoid them, you need to know a few important facts about fertility.

The number of eggs is limited to

First of all: you do not produce new eggs throughout their lives - have to work exclusively with the fact that there is. At birth in all women at least 2 milliona eggs, but with each menstruation their number reduced. Also, you lose follicles - sacs within the ovaries that contain immature cells that do not ovulate. You can lose hundreds of follicles each month, and your lifestyle can accelerate the process.

The contraceptive does not affect the fertility of

Despite the fact that birth control pills prevent ovulation, it does not mean that you're killing their eggs. They still remain inside, and you will be the same ability to conceive, as usual, after you stop taking the drug.

Physicians report that patients often have the feeling that after they stop taking the pills will take some time to "wash" the drug from the body. It is an illusion: actually getting pregnant can be as soon as you stop the course. What is important, it does not affect the development of the embryo. Some experts recommend to finish the month administration cycle, and then to use barrier contraceptives, just to make it easier to keep track of dates and deadlines for two more cycles.

But the effect weight

Excess weight can lead to hormonal imbalances and problems with ovulation. Obesity is also closely associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, which is the most common cause of infertility. Those who have this syndrome, of course, is not completely sterile, but their chances of conceiving significantly reduced.

The lack of weight causes problems too: it can lead to irregular menstruation, as well as your body will produce less estrogen. Do you want to increase the chance of pregnancy - Ensure that the weight remained within the normal range.

The diet does not matter

There is no magic diet that would increase the chances of a meeting of sperm and egg. The best thing you can do - is to consume as many nutrients as possible. Studies so far have not proven link caffeine, giving up meat or any other factor to the chances of conception. Keep balance, and this has to be enough.

You should know that age to make a decision as to whether you want children now, based on how much time you really have. The average in Russia at the moment - 51 years, however, if your mother has deviated from the statistics, it can affect your fertility.

Do not take too much

Regular exercise is very beneficial to your body, but there does not need to overdo it. The Norwegian study examined 4000 women under the age of 45 years and found that women who exercised for 5 or more days per week were three times more likely to infertility. This is due to the fact that extreme exercise exert serious pressure on your body and lead to a shortage of calories in the body.

Treat STDs time

Any sexually transmitted diseases like chlamydia also lead to problems with fertility. STDs can remain undetected for a long time, and if they are not treated in time, they can create inflammation of the pelvis. The longer the disease occurs, the more damage is dealt to your reproductive organs. It is important to remember that these infectious diseases can be picked up without even having sex, so regularly undergo medical examinations and be sure to contact for help with any suspicious symptoms.

Do not neglect the environment

The Environmental Health Perspective magazine study it was shown that the pollutants in the air, pesticides and other industrial pollutants impair fertility up to 29%. Not to mention the fact that there is a risk to meet with phthalates - substances that contribute to early menopause - even in conventional cosmetic products. Avoid lacquers and toilet water, which has no CE marking.

From alcohol and smoking really is to give

Smoking seriously reduces your ability to conceive a child. If you still did not have enough motivation to quit a bad habit, what is not a reason? The same applies to the excessive consumption of alcohol, of course.

Control the cholesterol

Studies have shown that high cholesterol also have a negative impact on fertility. Double threat, and if your partner high cholesterol.

A study published in the journal Reproduction journal, found that high levels of stress is directly linked to an increase risk of infertility. All the matter in the alpha-amylase - a stress hormone: when increasing the probability of pregnancy in the study participants fell by 29%.

Biological clock is ticking, and in men

Researchers from the Universities of Bristol and Brunel have estimated 8500 pairs to determine the effect of age on the time it takes to conceive. They found that while only 8 percent of men younger than 25 years can not impregnate their partner after a year of trying, but this number increases to 15% after 35 years. So do not think that all the responsibility on you!
