  • Stop Smoking

    If you are a smoker, (Even a social smoker) you can be decreasing your chances of becoming pregnant by up to 800%. Smoking has been proven to be one of the biggest causes of infertility in both men and women. Studies have shown that even second hand smoke can lower the sperm count in men, and lower the fertility potential in women as well.

  • Reduce Stress

    When you reduce stress, fertility prospers. There are encouraging findings from Harvard University stress expert Alice Domar, PhD. She reports that a number of women undergoing stress-reducing therapies to help them deal with the frustrations of infertility actually got pregnant -- simply by learning how to relax.

  • Proper Diet

    Eating healthy foods can make a huge difference in fertility. For instance, a new study cited in OBGYN News, a group of Harvard researchers found that 79% of infertile couples had a lower-than-average intake of foods high in antioxidants -- like fruits and vegetables. Vitamins such as E, C, and Selenium have been found to be very helpful in aiding fertility.

  • Pesticide Exposure

    While a number of factors can help boost fertility, there are some that can diminish your chances of conception. Among one of the most important is exposure to pesticides.

    "Many can act on estrogen receptors; they may not be estrogens, but they do in the body what estrogen does, and since estrogen is the hormone involved in fertility, the whole issue gives rise for concern," says one researcher.

  • Get Enough Sleep

    Although the impact is not quite as direct, another factor that could impact fertility: Getting more sleep! The link here, say experts, is the hormone leptin, known for being an appetite and weight-regulation hormone. Researchers have found that it plays a critical role in female fertility. Leptin levels falls when we are sleep-deprived. Perhaps not coincidentally, researchers have now found that in some infertile women, leptin levels are low. If you are chronically sleep deprived you are likely to have some irregular cycles -- and that in turn means your ovulation is being affected, which can certainly reduce your chance for conception.
