Women Infertility Treatment & Pregnancy Guide

Even though there are a few books written about fertility and nutrition, and a ton of stuff online, I appreciate that this topic can be very confusing. I will briefly describe what I determine to be the most important nutritional foundation to lay when trying to conceive. Whatever tweaking you do from there is at least being done upon a solid foundation.

First, let’s start off by identifying the most important goal of your fertility nutrition. It’s twofold in my opinion:

1.  Your nutrition should be providing you with a complete range of nutrients, meaning all the nutrients that your body needs to nourish your system and create energy and life force for you on a daily basis. Said another way, you want to begin removing the things you put in your body that steal your energy. You want your nutrition to leave you with more energy than you started with before eating, not less.

2. Your nutrition should be a stabilizing force to the endocrine system. The way most people eat is far from stabilizing. Rather, it is burdensome. Meal after meal, day after day, this becomes quite a strain on the endocrine system. Our endocrine system, as you may recall, is a delicately balanced system of hormones. Your hormonal balance is essential in trying to conceive.

The key is this: In order to stabilize hormones, your body needs the three macronutrients, in proper balance for you, at each meal. The three macronutrients are: protein, essential fat and complex carbohydrates. When the body receives these macronutrients in proper proportion for you, your nutrition is converted to fuel and balance. It is supportive to your system vs. burdensome.

Of course, what you choose to eat as a protein, essential fat and complex-carb is important as well. A good rule of thumb is when you eat a food that is in its most whole and natural state, you are going to get the most energy or life force from it. A food that hasn’t been processed will be converted to Qi or Energy in your body. It will be able to provide your system with life force. Your body can’t convert life force for you  when you eat foods that have been so over-processed, because there is no Qi or life force left in them.

You want life force or essence out of the food you eat, so you’ll need to eat foods in their whole state as much as possible. That doesn’t mean not cooking foods. It just means that you will get so much more for yourself from fresh sautéed vegetables than you will from canned vegetables. There’s very little Qi left in canned vegetables. You will provide life force to your system when you eat a meal of baked chicken, sautéed vegetables and a dollop of brown rice than you would if you threw a Lean Cuisine in the microwave. The Lean Cuisine is dead. Thus, you will not only NOT be supplying your body with Qi, you will be asking your body to break down and deal with a dead meal, meaning you’ll be spending Qi for nothing, for no nutritive Qi in exchange.

This is really important to understand. Eat food that is alive and has life force. You are trying to build your life force up in your body so that you can create a new life. To answer the question, “Is nutrition really important in trying to conceive?” I answer a resounding yes!

Is it a deal breaker for fertility if you eat yams or chaste berries, or avoid soy? The list goes on and on. I would say, “Deal breaker? I don’t think so. Are they healthy to the system? Yes. Therefore, eat them.”

Here is the best way I can guide you as to whether certain foods will work or not work for you. If you eat a meal that has a lot of wheat in it, and an hour later you don’t feel energetic, and maybe you even feel bloated, then something you ate in your last meal needs adjusting. If you begin noticing that meals that don’t contain wheat leave you feeling centered, clear headed, energetic and good an hour afterward, then you can deduce that your system and wheat aren’t the best match. That will be true for some, but not all. There are no absolutes. Remember, you have to discover what serves you and what doesn’t.

What about green tea? In my opinion, the benefits of green tea outweigh the small amount of caffeine in it. Thus, drinking green tea adds more to you than it takes away. That may not be true for a woman who is extremely sensitive to caffeine, but in general, it’s more true than not. Try to remember that it’s about moderation.

You see how individual (and not black and white) things are. We have gotten so outwardly focused in our fast-paced lives that we’ve completely stopped checking in with ourselves, noticing what works and what doesn’t. We want blanket answers and we want them now. We want to be able to quickly implement these external answers, have it work for us and rush off to the next thing to do.

I must tell you that meeting up with the nutrition that serves you best will require you to be inwardly focused, engaged, and willing to listen and make the necessary adjustments, and mostly, to be patient. That kind of sounds like parenting! Could that be a coincidence?

In general the diet for a healthy father-to-be should be every bit as balanced, varied, and nutritious as the diet for mother-to-be.

A balanced diet is extremely important. Research shows that poor eating habits and drinking alcohol regularly, for instance, can lower the quality and quantity of *****. Infertility is as much a man’s problem as it is a woman’s. It is reported that approximately 30 – 40% of infertility can be attributed to men. Nutrition could have a direct impact on the potency of *****. Following a healthy diet could boost your chances of conceiving a child.

Specifically, future dads should eat plenty of foods rich in vitamin C, get more zinc and increase intake of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin E and L-arginine.

There are many contributors towards the improvement of male fertility (some work more effectively in combination with others):

Promoters of fertility (in alphabetical order)

Calcium – is a key regulator of ***** function. It improves the vitality and longevity of *****.

Sources: low fat milk, yoghurt, cheese, hummus, broccoli, spinach, salmon, sunflower seeds, almonds, sesame seeds.

Chromium – is an essential trace mineral involved with blood-sugar regulation and the hormone insulin. Severe chromium deficiency may interfere with normal growth and decreased fertility.

Sources: raw onions, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, honey, brewers yeast, oysters, liver.

Coenzyme Q10 – is a nutrient mainly used by the body in the production of energy but it has been linked to increases in ***** count and motility.

Sources: beef, soy, mackerel, sardines, spinach, peanuts, vegetable oil.

Essential Fatty Acid’s – EFA’s have a critical effect on every part of the body, both of the important families omega-3 and omega-6 are components of nerve cells and cellular membrane throughout the body. They act as hormone regulators. ***** tails contain high concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids particularly DHA. ***** is rich in prostaglandin’s, which are produced from fatty acids. Diet alone sometimes cannot offer sufficient intake of essential fatty acids; supplementation of fish oils can help to restore depleted levels of omega-3 levels.

Sources: linseed oil, flaxseed oil, hemp oil, starflower oil, evening primrose oil, herring, salmon, mackerel, sardines.

Folic Acid (also known as folate) – is a form of water-soluble B vitamins. Studies have shown those most deficient in folic acid could have lower quality and lower density of *****. Folic acid is said to work more effectively in combination with zinc.

Sources: grains, wheat germ, spinach, liver, eggs, romaine lettuce, lentils, fortified cereals.

L-arginine – is an amino acid found in the head of sperm, it is essential in ***** formation; it increases ***** count and quality, and also, improves sexual desire and ejaculation.

Sources: in the food chain arginine is found in chicken, turkey and other meats.

L-carnitine – is an amino acid that is essential for normal functioning of ***** cells. Higher levels of L-carnitine equals higher levels of ***** count and motility.

Sources: mutton, lamb, beef, pork, rabbit, chicken, cow’s milk.

Niacin (also known as vitamin B3) – is critical to energy production. It causes a large release of histamine all over the body it aids proper circulation for long lasting *********.

Sources: liver, peanuts, chicken, tuna, salmon, peanut butter.

Selenium – is an anti-oxidant that protects against ***** damage, maximises ***** formation and can reduce mobility. Low levels of selenium have been found in men with low ***** count. It works synergistically with vitamin E.

Sources: brazil nuts, tuna, beef, cod, turkey, noodles, egg, rice.

Vitamin B12 – is needed to maintain fertility, it improves low ***** count and ***** motility.

Sources: meat, dairy products, eggs, yeast.

Vitamin C – reduces the risk of ***** damage protecting them from oxidant damage. It stops ***** from clumping together making them more motile (clumping reduces fertility).

Sources: cereals, apple juice, grapefruit, orange, strawberries, asparagus, red cabbage, peppers, new potatoes, peas.

Vitamin D – may help to improve fertility because it assists in the absorption of calcium from the food that you eat.

Sources: low fat milk, salmon, mackerel, cod liver oil, tuna, sardines, eggs, cereals.

Vitamin E – increases fertility. The anti-oxidant properties are said to make ***** more fertile – by protecting from damage and increasing quality. It corrects the functioning of the endocrine glands that produce hormones, which influence growth, development and metabolic activity. Vitamin E is more effective when taken with another key anti-oxidant – Vitamin C.

Sources: wheat germ, almonds, sunflower seeds / oil, safflower oil, hazelnuts.

Zinc – is involved in the health of reproductive organs and prostate glands and virtually every aspect of male reproduction. It is found in high concentration in the ***** and is needed to make the outer layer and the tail of the *****. Even short-term deficiencies can reduce ***** volume and testosterone levels. Zinc is said to work more effectively in combination with folic acid.

Sources: pumpkin seeds, baked beans, ***** peas, muesli, oysters, extra lean mince beef, dark chicken meat.

It is not always possible to obtain satisfactory levels of these substances from diet alone, taking supplements can sometimes be a good way of ensuring adequate levels are maintained but do not over-do this.

Inhibitors of fertility (in alphabetical order)

Alcohol – can cause a decrease in ***** count and testosterone levels and contributes towards the production of abnormal *****. It can also lead to lower proportions of motile *****. Alcohol also inhibits zinc one of the more important minerals for male fertility.

Cut out or cut back on alcohol. While an occasional drink is generally considered safe, studies show that daily consumption of wine, beer or spirits can be detrimental.

Caffeine – like alcohol it can prevent your body from receiving and absorbing nutrients leading to problems with ***** count, abnormalities and motility.

Drugs – recreational drugs such as marijuana and cocaine should be avoided. These can affect the brain chemistry responsible for releasing reproductive hormones. A father’s drug use can also cause birth defects.

It is also wise to check with your doctor about medicines as some of these can suppress ***** production and quality.

Radiation and chemicals – exposure to hazardous substances at work can also damage sperm, reduce ***** count and possibly cause genetic defects.

Smoking – decreases ***** count, makes ***** more sluggish and increases the number of abnormal *****. Smoking is also known to decrease vitamin C levels in our bodies.

Stress – even minimal stress can cause a man’s testosterone levels and ***** count to drop.

Recommendations for improving male fertility

Sperm is produced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week but it takes approximately 72-90 days (up to 3 months) to produce mature *****. It is should be recognised that any changes in lifestyle, diet etc. need time to have an effect.

The basic message is that you need to commit yourself to a few months of clean living and healthy eating which means plenty of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean meats – and a safer lifestyle, you will then be in good shape to father a child. It may be necessary to take some supplements to ensure that optimum levels of minerals, vitamins and fatty acids (link) are obtained. In some cases studies have shown that RDA levels need to be exceeded to restore imbalances.

Terms used:

Motile sperms – swim forward in an essentially straight line b
ut non-progressively motile sperms swim in a more abnormal path, such as tight circles. They are less likely to find the target!

Aggulation of sperms – relates to the ‘clumping’ of ***** (when ***** sticks together) it reduces fertility.

Are you finding it difficult to become pregnant? If so you can do many simple things to improve your chances of conception, the way we live can have a big effect on the reproductive system of both men and women and most people prefer natural ways to increase fertility. You may both have to change your life-style to incorporate healthy influences, and eliminate things you enjoy that reduce your fertility.

Increasing or improving your fertility is something you can both do. You can make sure your weight is within the range that is helpful for conceiving. You can make sure you incorporate a regular gentle exercise programme into your daily life such as walking; cycling or swimming, being fit and active is beneficial for fertility. You can make sure you and your partner are eating healthily, and eliminate habits that may lower your chances of conceiving. 

Alcohol Reduction

Alcohol can put  pregnancy at risk. According to some studies, the risk of miscarriage appears to increase with moderate drinking during the first three months of pregnancy, particularly in the first weeks.

Reducing Stress

Stress can have a big effect on fertility. In women under stress, the reproductive hormone prolactin is over-produced and this can interfere with ovulation. The hypothalamus stops secreting gonadotrophin hormone, which in turn will affect the release of both the luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. As these hormones stimulate ovulation – fertility is affected.

Self help for stress is regular exercise, deep breathing techniques, hypnotherapy and visualization – a combined approach can include the following:

 - Acupuncture

 - Nutrition

 - Hypnotherapy

Fertility is a whole-body event, not something that happens just in our reproductive organs – that is why a holistic approach often works well. There may be a need for more fertility awareness and lifestyle changes to improve the chances of starting the pregnancy, or there may be a need for nutritional supplements, relaxation and de-stressing techniques, acupuncture, and massage.

Nutritional Improvement

You should not overlook nutrition in fertility treatment – it is important to have a good level of nourishment that will allow your body to function well, and it is of course a very natural way to increase fertility! Bad eating habits can lower the reserves of nutrients that are necessary for reproductive hormone systems to work properly.

Your hormonal balance and fertility are affected by what you eat, your nutrient levels and how well your digestion works. If you are short of essential fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin B6, zinc, magnesium, and antioxidants, then your hormone production may be blocked – resulting in an imbalance that makes conception less likely.

Acupuncture

Have you ever wondered about the treatment of infertility with traditional medicine and acupuncture? Good candidates for trying medical acupuncture are people who have unexplained infertility – acupuncture is effective for balancing the body’s energies and raising the receptiveness of the body for conception. Men and women with a physical problem, such as damaged fallopian tubes, or a low ***** count, would be encouraged to try acupuncture in addition to their medical treatment.

When skilfully applied, acupuncture is effective in correcting many of the imbalances that underlie the complex physical and hormonal disorders that lead to a reduction in fertility.

Smoking Cessation

Women who smoke are more likely to take longer to conceive, they have an increased risk of miscarriage, and lower oestrogen and progesterone levels. Men who smoke are likely to have decreased ***** density, less motile sperm, reduced testosterone, and an increase in abnormal *****. These risks for both men and women increase with the number of cigarettes smoked.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is exceptionally beneficial and natural way to increase fertility. Hypnotherapists are already using Hypnotherapy to help women give birth peacefully, and teaching them that a normal birth should be a calm and natural process. Learning simple but specialised relaxation, and breathing, and other techniques, make  the whole birth easier and more comfortable.

With unexplained infertility, hypnotherapists teach you to let go of the stress you have been holding on to, using specialised relaxation, and breathing techniques. It teaches you to let go of any emotional blocks or worries you may have that can create infertility issues – Hypnotherapy can help you identify and process emotional issues that might be interfering with conception.

In addition to dealing with deep-seated fears, hypnotherapy is effective in stress reduction, and this in turn allows for hormonal rebalancing. This has been seen in cases where there is too much prolactin being produced which can inhibit ovulation. In a relaxed environment at a clinic, you can work together to bring about positive attitudes and beliefs.

You can give your unconscious mind free rein here and allow yourself to be creative, free, and prepared to follow your heart’s wishes.

So there you have it – a range of natural ways to increase fertility. Choose as many as befits your lifestyle and make things easier for yourself and your baby.

Male Fertility rates have dropped dramatically over the last 100 years and one of the main factors has been changes in our diets.

Here we will look at diet and lifestyle changes that can be made to increase male fertility, as well as 11 natural supplements for male reproductive health.

Male infertility there is no single cause

There is no single cause for the drop in male fertility rates. Likely causes include a combination of the following: Diet, environmental and lifestyle changes.

Three quick lifestyle changes to increase male fertility

You may know this already, but here are three major causes of male infertility, which should be cut or even better stopped completely.

Avoid or cut alcohol consumption

Medical evidence has linked alcohol consumption with defective *****.

Don’t smoke.

Medical evidence has shown there is a link between smoking and low ***** count.

Recreational drugs

There is not enough room here to go into the affect of all the recreational drugs on ***** count and male fertility, but there is medical evidence linking a number of them with male infertility.

Male fertility don’t see it in isolation

Male fertility does not exist on its own, its part of our overall body functions and what you put into your body affects how efficiently it operates.

Male fertility & Nutrition

Not eating the right diet can have the following impact:

It can impair hormone function, inhibit ***** production, and produce abnormal *****.

There is no question that our diets have undergone dramatic changes in the last 100 years and these have affected male fertility rates and seen a dramatic rise in male infertility.

Before we look at our top supplements, here are some tips on a diet for increasing male fertility.

Eat Naturally

Eat “naturally from the earth” get plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, poultry, legumes, nuts, brown rice and seeds.

Avoid junk food, processed foot and foods high saturated fat. Water.

Drink plenty of water at least 2 -3 liters a day to flush out any toxins in the body.

Pumpkin seeds

A great food for male fertility, as they contain high levels of zinc and essential fatty acids which are vital to healthy functioning of the male reproductive system.

Supplements

The following supplements can help increase ***** count and mobility. Don’t expect overnight results as they will take a few months to become effective.

1. Arginine

This non essential amino acid and is needed to produce healthy *****. Natural production of arginine declines with age and a supplement here may help older patients

2. Coenzyme Q10

Helps Increase ***** count and motility.

3. L-carnitine

Required for normal ***** function, Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid and men with healthy ***** in high numbers often have high carnitine levels.

4. Selenium

Selenium is believed to be good for spermmobility.

Nearly 50% of the selenium in a man is in the testes and seminal ducts; men lose selenium in their *****.

5. Zinc

Required for a healthy male reproductive system and ***** production.

Zinc is required for the production of testosterone and zinc content in the prostate gland and ***** is higher than in any other body tissues.

A deficiency of zinc is associated with numerous sexual problems, including ***** abnormalities and prostate disease.

Zinc helps to maintain ***** volume and adequate levels of testosterone; keeping ***** healthy.

6. Vitamin B-12

B-12 deficiency reduces ***** motility and ***** count and is one of the most frequent vitamin deficiencies so make sure your intake is adequate.

7. Vitamin E

Helps to improve the overall health of *****.

Sperm can be damaged by harmful molecules (free radicals). Vitamin E is an antioxidant which helps to reduce the number of free radicals, vitamin C also can be taken for its antioxidant qualities

8. Omega fatty acids

Omega 3 fatty acids (found in oily fish and flaxseed oils) and omega-6 fatty acids ( evening primrose and starflower oils) can help improve the ***** membrane fluidity and male fertility.

9. Astragalus

A Chinese herb which is now grown in popularity worldwide medical research indicates that Astragalus has a stimulating effect on the production of ***** and also helps to improve ***** motility.

10. Ginseng (Panax ginseng)

Used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and popular worldwide to help increase testosterone levels and ***** count and improve the quality of sperm

11. Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens)

Saw Palmetto contains a variety of fatty acids, including capric, caprylic, caproic, lauric, palmitic and oleic acid, and their ethyl esters.

Saw Palmetto oil is high in phytosterols (beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, cycloartenol, lupeol, lupenone and 24-methyl-cycloartenol), as well as other oils, resins, and tannin and is seen as an overall body tonic for men and is believed to help male fertility rates.

Male fertility rates are affected by a number of factors however having the right diet can and does help in the production of healthy ***** and should be a consideration for all men seeking a family.

Nutritious eating can increase your fertility potential.  The quality of food you eat makes a difference on the functioning of the cells in your body, including the hormones and cells in your reproductive system.  Although there are many key nutrients for maintaining a healthy body, some play a specific role in enhancing fertility in women.  Today we are going to look at one aspect of fertility nutrition – Antioxidants.  The antioxidants enhance reproductive health and fertility by protecting your body from damage that occurs as a result of toxins in our food, water, and environment, aging, and bodily stress.

Even though a lot of people don’t actually realize it, a lot of antioxidant foods that we consume are from vegetables.  Vegetables such as broccoli, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, tomatoes, and peppers are all excellent choices with some great benefits for your body.  When consuming vegetables, you should always go for those that are rich in color, as they are high in what is known as phytonutrients.

Phytonutrients are nutrients found in the skins of several fruits and vegetables, which give the food color as well as flavor and scent.  Phytonutrients are quite simply the best types of antioxidant foods that you can find anywhere.  If you are looking for a supplement value, the CoQ10 offers you a high level of antioxidant value.

Although fruits and vegetables are the best sources for antioxidants, the problem with them is that they are produced by the use of chemical herbicides, pesticides, and different types of fertilizers.  Over the years, studies have shown that fruits and vegetables which are organically grown are high in antioxidants, and boast a much higher concentration than those that have been produced commercially.

In the busy world of today, it can be very tough to eat like we should, nor can we eat organic fruits and vegetables all the time.  If you can’t or don’t have access to organic fruits or other sources of antioxidant foods, you should look into nutritional supplements that offer you the phytonutrients you need in your diet.

Supplements that contain phytonutrients do have advantages when compared to certain fruits, such as carrots – which can elevate your blood sugar level to a very high level.  Phytonutrients found in supplements are the extract of pigments where nutrients are concentrated, meaning that they draw the best from antioxidant foods, leaving the calories and sugar behind.

Don’t get the wrong idea here, fruits and vegetables are indeed good for you.  They are high in antioxidants, although those that are produced commercially generally come with chemicals and such that aren’t so good for you.  Canned fruits and vegetables come with high levels of sugars and calories, which antioxidant supplements don’t have.  The supplements offer you the levels you need, without any chemicals, sugars, or calories.  This way, you don’t have to worry about consuming anything that isn’t good for you.

No matter how you look at it, healthy eating for your body starts and ends with foods that contain antioxidants.  There are several types of foods that contain antioxidants, although fruits and vegetables contain the most amounts.  Steak and meat are also great sources of antioxidants, along with other great benefits, such as protein.  Anytime you can’t get foods that contain antioxidants – you can count on supplements to deliver the amount you need to maintain your healthy nutritional balance that will improve your well-being and fertility.
