19 Ways to Boost Your Fertility

You see a baby in a stroller at the mall and your heart aches. You hold your bestie's newborn and you cry. A baby is born on your fave television show and you're balling your eyes out. You have baby brain! But you've been trying to conceive one of your own for several months and haven't seen that "yes" on the pregnancy stick.

To help increase your chances of getting pregnant, try the following tips. Chart your basal body temperature. Track your basal body temperature (BBT) to assess if you're ovulating. Your BBT is your lowest body temperature and is measured when you're fully at rest. That temperate reading fluctuates throughout your cycle. The day after you ovulate, your BBT will rise 0.4 to 1.0 degree and will stay elevated until your next period. You should check and chart your BBT using a basal thermometer each morning before you get out of bed, ideally about the same time each day. Track it over a few months to assess when you're ovulating, and then have sex around the time of ovulation. Assess your cervical mucus. Track your cervical secretions to assess your fertility. Your cervical mucus changes in quantity and quality throughout your cycle. You have the most when you're about to ovulate and the least right after your period. You're most fertile when your mucus resembles egg whites, looking and feeling stretchy and clear. The more of this mucus you have, the higher your likelihood of getting pregnant. Ovulation is done when the mucus has thickened. Use an ovulation calendar. A fertility calculator or calendar can help you figure out the length of your cycle and the day of the month when you're most fertile. Over time, you'll see patterns in your cycle. And you can use that information to assess the best time to try to get pregnant. Try Healthy Women's ovulation calculator. 

Try an ovulation kit. An over-the-counter ovulation test can assess when you're ovulating. That way you'll get an idea of when you should plan to have sex. Since the kit can't go in and see if you've ovulated, know that these kits aren't 100 percent accurate.

 Maintain a healthy weight. Ensuring that you're not underweight or overweight will keep your reproductive cycle in balance. Check your BMI (body mass index) score; a ranking of 19 to 24 indicates a healthy weight. Anything above that range should be discussed with your health care provider. Read more about fertility boosting food.

Watch what you eat. Unhealthy food intake, whether too much or too little, has been recognized as a contributing factor to infertility because it can make your reproductive cycle irregular. And that causes you to ovulate occasionally or not at all. Switch protein sources, replacing some of the beef, pork or chicken you eat—animal protein—with vegetable protein sources, such as cooked dried beans and nuts. When 5 percent of total calories eaten come from vegetable protein instead of animal, the risk of ovulatory infertility drops by more than 50 percent. Add high-fat dairy because the more low-fat dairy products you eat, the greater your risk of ovulatory infertility. Try replacing one low-fat dairy serving per day with one high-fat serving, such as a glass of whole milk. Stay hydrated. Your cervical fluid—which helps the sperm find the target egg—gets sluggish when you don't drink enough water. Consume plenty of water so that your urine is light yellow.

 Cut caffeine. High caffeine intake interferes with conception. Consider eliminating or avoiding caffeinated coffee, tea and soft drinks (decaf is fine). Does the thought of losing that morning pick-me-up make you break into a cold sweat? You can stick to one to two 8-ounce cups a day. Meet with your ob-gyn. Your health care provider can speak with you about the overall status of your health and suggest any lifestyle changes you need to make that can help you get pregnant. Since some fertility issues may be hereditary, it's also a good idea to meet with a doctor if you have a family history of infertility.

See the dentist. Gum disease is linked to underweight and premature babies. And the health of your mouth and teeth can change once you're pregnant. To ensure that your mouth is in tip-top shape, visit your dentist. Manage stress. Trying to get pregnant can be stressful. Do your best to manage and reduce tension and anxiety. Try relaxation techniques like meditation, acupuncture or yoga.

 Exercise within reason. It's fine to get in some moderate activity. But engaging in strenuous, vigorous and extreme exercise might impact your menstrual cycle, leading to infertility. So, pass on the marathon when you're trying to get pregnant.

 Inspect your medicine cabinet. Some prescription medications may be unsafe during pregnancy or make it more difficult to get pregnant. Review the medications you're taking with your health care provider.

 Ditch the lube. Some lubricants can make sperm more likely to die before they reach the egg. If you need some lubrication to make you more comfortable during intercourse, try a lubricant that's sperm-friendly or use canola oil.   Stop drinking. Yes, there's no evidence that drinking an occasional glass of wine factors into your fertility. But consider passing on alcohol when you're trying to conceive to be on the safe side.

 Quit smoking. You and your partner should both ditch this habit for the sake of your health, your fertility and a healthy baby. Smoking makes you prone to ectopic pregnancies (when an embryo implants somewhere other than the uterus, such as in one of the fallopian tubes), lowers the number and quality of sperm and is linked to an increased risk of miscarriage.

 Load up on vitamins. Ask your ob-gyn which over-the-counter prenatal vitamin you need or if you should take a prescription prenatal vitamin. She may also suggest that you take folic acid or a prenatal vitamin with folic acid. Folic acid will help reduce the risk of spina bifida and other neural tube defects in babies. Food sources of folic acid include beans, orange juice, spinach and strawberries. Have a lot of sex! Hit the sack two or three times a week; you'll be more likely to get pregnant faster. Some experts say that when you're trying to conceive, you should have sex once a day, every other day, especially when you're most fertile right before and after ovulation. Beware of what you do after sex. A few things to avoid after sex include saunas, long runs, hot tubs or other activities that raise your body temperature. You should also skip douching after sex because it puts you at risk for a pelvic infection.

According to the  Shourya’s Testtube Baby Center most healthy couples trying to conceive who have frequent unprotected sex become pregnant in a year. If you're not getting pregnant as fast as you want or hope, consider visiting a doctor. If you're older, you may want to get help sooner because fertility decreases with age. The sooner you visit a doctor, the more likely you'll have success with fertility treatments.

LPN’s Wellness, Spiritual & Green Beauty Faves in February

There was something about this February that was hard. Things just felt like they took a little more effort – getting into my yoga practice happened less frequent, my work hours were longer and my immune system seemed to struggle. For this reason, it was even more important to support myself in all ways: mind, body and soul.

Maybe you noticed a trend last month on my posts: self care (cf. last week’s post and the one prior to that).  Keeping in with the theme of self care, here are a few of my favourite things that have helped keep me grounded and feeling supported during the final month of winter (yes, sometimes “things” do help keep us feeling more grounded).

What are some “things” that help you ground down? Comment below <3 

Therapeutic Massage from Pranamat ECO by PranaLine

The Pranamat ECO is quite an invention. Those little lotus blossoms are almost as sharp as nails, and act almost as acupuncture needs (without piercing the skin, of course) as you lay. The lotus flowers help to stimulate blood flow to areas that you are working with (I am actually sitting on it right now as I type this). It’s like a manual massage, but it also helps bring energy back to the body, by putting pressure onto points in the body that are blocked or in minor pain. All of the materials used are eco-friendly (it’s made with HIPS plastic (hypoallergenic and surgical grade) linen cover and coconut fibre inner).

Get 10% off using the code livingprettynaturally10

I’ve been laying on the mat for 15 minutes after work, just to rebalance and ground down before heading into my evening routines, and sometimes I’ll just stand on the mat for a few minutes to get blood moving down towards the toes (it’s cold here in Norway!).

You can use code livingprettynaturally10 on the website to get 10% off <3

Soul Reading + Workbook – Wanderlust

Some soulful reading is just what the doctor naturopath ordered. Wanderlust is a workbook / read about finding your “true north.” It’s about navigating your personal path, curating principles that embody the lifestyle of Wanderlust.

Each chapter includes expert yoga instruction by renowned teachers (and beautiful music playlists to motivate readers to practice); thought-provoking and spiritual art; awesome recipes for delicious, healthy foods, places for you to contribute and fill in your thoughts, and other random and fun things.

The books is a perfect companion to your Sunday morning cup of tea. <3

Find Wanderlust on Amazon for $17 USD

Natural Candle Scented with Essential Oils – Handmade Soap Co

Made with natural soy wax and only natural essential oils to fragrance the candle, I’m loving it. The packaging is beautiful and makes a perfect slow burn light for those cold evenings (and mornings too). One of my favourite weekend rituals is lighting up my candles and playing calming music. You can check out one of my favourite yoga relaxation playlists on Spotify here.

Find Handmade Soap Co Candles on LoveLula – one of my favourite natural beauty shops on this side of the ocean.

Gemstone for Self Love – Rhodochrosite 

I love gemstones – there is something magical about the colours and the properties they hold. Rhodochrosite is one of my favourite stones for many reasons, but namely because this pretty pink stone represents selfless love and compassion. It’s all about positive attitude with this stone, and it is a great stone for the heart and relationships – it’s a healing stone, and is one used for those attracting their soulmate as well. It is Queen when it comes to self love, and so, this has been by my side this past month.

When shopping for stones, try to find where the source of the stone is to make sure it’s authentic and ethically sourced. I’ve linked you up on Amazon to some stones, but this is not where I bought mine. Take your time when finding the perfect stone for you <3

Face Serum for Tired Winter Skin – Malaya Organics Rejuvenating Face Serum

I’m seriously loving Malaya Organics these days – you saw last week a mention of their facial seam – so this week I’m sharing with you their small-batch, wild crafted facial serum. The winter months always make my skin a bit more dull and dry looking. This “corrective serum” has been a fave this month – super soothing, mega hydrating, healing and still lightweight.

Some of the anti-inflammatory and star ingredients include Marshmallow Root, Calendula Flowers, Borage Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Rose Petals and Siberian Cedar Nut Oil coupled with Gardenia Absolute’s antioxidant and collagen-synthesizing properties nourish skin, keeping it healthy and balanced.

I’ve been using the oil morning and evening (yes, even under makeup – because I’m all about that youth dew). After cleansing, I press a pump onto my skin around face and neck, then follow with my hydrosol of choice.

Teas for your Moon Cycle – Traditional Medicinals and Yogi Tea

When my wellness practices slip, I also notice a change in how my menstrual cycle operates. Heavier bleeding, cramps, mood swings are not always things I face — unless I let the things that keep me balanced slip to the way side. That happened this month, so I was reaching out to some of my tried and true teas for balancing the moon cycle. Steep for 10 minutes <3

Here are my faves:

Traditional Medicinals Healthy Cycle – this tea is based on a traditional combination of raspberry and nettle (both help with water retention and bloating), with other complementary herbs like angelica root (also known as dong quai – see below), blessed thistle and cramp bark, this tea uses a tonic approach to women’s health. I drink this one a week before and during the peak of my moon cycle.

Yogi Tea Moon Cycle – This tea combines Dong Quai, used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for heavy bleeding, headaches and cramps, with Chaste Tree Berry (reducing breast pain) and Organic Raspberry Leaf (water retention), all of which have been traditionally used for centuries to address common menstrual discomforts. Chamomile is added, which has been used for centuries to help relax both mind and body. I drink this one several weeks before my moon cycle reaches peak.

Traditional Medicinals PMS Tea – This tea supports good mood during PMS, easing irritability, tension and discomfort through skullcap and lemon balm – used to ease frayed nerves, this tea can help you feel a little more like you can go with the flow. heh heh!  I drink this one when feeling irritable and fiery (and remember that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just part of your bad ass feminine power).

Jewels for the Heart – Ananda Soul Creations Angel Whisper Necklace

I have loved Ananda Soul Creations for some time – ever since I found Christina Zipperlen’s art. This beautiful piece spoke to my heart when I saw it. It’s called the Angel Whispers necklace – a powerful feminine and stunning piece of Rose Quartz, that hits you perfectly close to your heart. It’s paired with a pretty little Gold feather to remind you to keep following your heart and fly where those dreams take you. <3  

Rose Quartz is another powerful gemstone for love – both self love and outward love. It encourages unconditional love. It’s heart opening qualities act soothing on the nervous system, increasing happiness, trust and harmony. This beautiful necklace is made of 24kt Gold Vermeil and Rose Quartz. Everything at Ananda Soul Creations makes is ethically produced in Bali, and the company gives back to street children in Bali. 

Christina uses her art to act as a portal for women to access creations that remind them of their beauty, strength and wisdom. Yes, sister! <3

I hope you have a beautiful month ahead, as we move into longer days, and fuller hearts. Welcome spring!
