Archive for September, 2009

Did you know that women who take folic acid supplements have a better chance of getting pregnant?

In a recent research study of 18,500 nurses, those who took folic acid 6 days a week or more had a 40% lower risk of ovulatory failure, while those who took the supplement 3 to 5 days a week had a 30% lower risk.

Those who took the supplemet for less than 2 days o week were no different than those who did not take it all all.

So apart from the general well known advice that you should take folic acid in order to prevent birth defects like spina bifida once you have conceived, it also important that you take it because it could help you become pregnant faster.

The findings were released by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine annual meeting in New Orleans.

Dr Jorge Chavarro, a research fellow at Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, said the analysis showed folic acid was one of the most important reasons for the reduction in risk, although some other vitamins played a part.

He said: ‘The beneficial effect on fertility continued to increase as women consumed higher amounts of folic acid.

‘It looks like folic acid is a major player in reproduction.’

In the UK, 1mg of folic acid daily is regarded as the safe upper limit.

Women hoping to become pregnant are currently advised to take a 400mcg supplement of folic acid every day and for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

There are many things that you can do that will faciliate conception. I am going to discuss 3 tips here that will defintely increase your chances of having that baby.

1. Avoid All Forms Of Lubrication: Studies show that all artificial lubricants e.g. KY Jelly,vegatable oils, glycerin,petroleum jelly and even saliva can kill sperm. Until recently there has not being a viable option but there is a new revolutionary vaginal moisturiser that is specificially designed to mimic natural body secretions and provide an optimal environment for sperm.

It is called Pre-Seed, develpoed by Bio-Origyn and works by delivering a PH balanced semen-like fluid.

2. Positions During Intercourse: Studies now show that if the man has marginal sperm count, the best position for intercourse is the traditional missionary position.

This allows for the deepest penetration and will deposit the sperm closest to the cervix. It is also advatageous for you to remain lying down for up to 30min in the basic position in which you had intercourse.

3. Healthy Diet, Weight and Exercise: When trying to get pregnant quickly, it is important that your body is as healthy as possible. This means you have to limit refined foods, excess sugar, caffeine and porducts with any form of additives.

Eating a well balanced diet of wholesome foods can eliminate potential problems and there is speculation that heavy milk consumption may adversely affect fertility. This is becuase milk contains high levels of oestrogen and progesterone which will alter your body’s natural hormone levels.

In addition, in order to ovulate, your body needs at least 20% body fat and so just as being underweigth can affect fertility being overweight can altercyour cycles and cause your body to produce excessive oestrogen.
