Improve your Fertility with Footsteps To Fertility Centre
Most pregnancies are unplanned and once pregnancy is confirmed, it can be challenging to treat medical conditions, change lifestyle and habits.
It is best to assess risks for certain conditions at least 3-6 months prior to pregnancy and make adjustments when necessary. Preconceptual counseling with a fertility specialist may be helpful in improving fertility rates and overall pregnancy outcome.

Ovulation Calendar
It’s important to maintain a well-balanced diet prior to and during pregnancy. Additionally, adequate level of physical activity will improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, reduce stress and improve ovulation function.
All women should consume 0.4mg of folic acid daily starting 2-3 months prior to attempting pregnancy. The supplement can be in the form of consuming folic acid rich foods or through supplemental pills. Prenatal vitamins typically contain adequate amount of folic acid and may be an alternative to using folic acid alone.
Prediction of ovulation and timing of intercourse are important factors in enhancing fertility. Documentation of cycle length and estimation of ovulation date will improve the fertility potential as well.
Ovulation predictor kits can be useful in estimating ovulation, so that the intercourse can be timed. If menstrual cycles are irregular, ovulation is either irregular or absent, and in such cases it is recommended to seek an evaluation from a fertility specialist followed by ovulation induction.
We Help You Increase Your Chance Of Conceiving
How can you increase your chance of getting pregnant?
Women with regular menstrual cycles should attempt pregnancy for one year before starting infertility work up if they are under the age 35. Over 35, it is recommended to start evaluation after 6 months of unprotected intercourse.
If there are medical problems, a known male issue or a history of irregular menstrual cycles or pelvic infection, the work up needs to be initiated immediately. If pregnancy is not accomplished based on above criteria, a consultation with a fertility specialist is recommended.
After making the decision to have a baby, many women try to do everything they can to conceive during their next cycle. But it’s important to remember that getting pregnant can take time.
Starting your journey to parenthood can be exciting, but also challenging if you find it is not happening as quickly as you were expecting.
