Women and clients always ask me, how can I get pregnant faster? Well, the number one thing that you can do to get pregnant faster is to track your ovulation and confirm ovulation. The reason that you want to do this is that you want to have sex every other day during your ovulation period. That seems like a no-brainer. Some women will tell you that they, um, have been told to have sex every day during their ovulation period, but really the standard is every other day for the best chances and the best sperm quality. Other things that you can do to get pregnant faster are the things that are in your direct control. That's the good news. The bad news is, is sometimes that's really hard for us, right? But if we know that this is in our control and this is a huge contributing factor to getting pregnant faster, it's a big motivation to help implement some of these diet and lifestyle changes, right? So choose the ones that are easiest for you. Overall health is the goal and pregnancy is the outcome of that, right? So we want to make sure that we're eating whole food diet with as little processed food as possible. That includes refined carbs like breads and pastas. We want to add— so we want to remove those things. We want to add high antioxidant foods into our diets, things like green leafy vegetables and dark fruits like pomegranate, tart cherry juice, wolfberry, blueberries, strawberries. Any of those things have a high antioxidant content and are going to help your body rid itself of free radicals. So again, overall health is the goal. Pregnancy is the outcome. And these are all things that are in your control, like sleep. Prioritizing sleep helps you in a number of— get pregnant, in a number of different ways. It helps your hormones, uh, stay balanced. Um, it's good for your gut health. There's a lot of different research, um, about the importance of prioritizing sleep for your hormone health as well. Um, water also contributes hugely because both your kidneys and your liver are big governors. That's what, uh, the Chinese traditional Chinese medicine says, is that they're big governors of our hormone systems. And so Staying hydrated with water as your primary source of hydration is so important to your overall hormone health. And the good news is, is it's completely in your control, right? What we put into our body and on our skin is in our control. Uh, the other thing is moving your body. So, uh, you don't necessarily have to adopt a huge exercise program in order to make a contribution to getting pregnant faster. Just implementing simple changes like walking during your lunch hour, walking in the morning, taking the stairs, parking further away. Everything that you do that increases your oxygen level in your body, um, even in small amounts, contributes to you getting pregnant faster. So don't let yourself— don't be talked out of moving your body more just because you can't do an exercise class or you're not interested in taking up an exercise regimen. It really does make a huge impact. So the last thing that I'm going to say about getting pregnant faster, um, is something that used to drive me crazy and drives most people crazy that are going through infertility, and that is stress reduction. Now, before you click off the video or throw, throw me out of, uh, your video, uh, subscribe, I'm— what I'm saying to you is managing your stress is a huge contributor to getting pregnant faster. And infertility is one of the most stressful events that you will go through in your life. It's like death every single month. So I want you to know that I'm empathetic and sympathetic to that fact. I remember all too well. And you have to have some tools in your toolbox so that as you're going through that monthly, monthly cycle, as you get your period at work, as you're dealing with failed procedures, you have to have some tools in your toolbox or coping, because if you can't cope, you can't continue. So things like essential oils for stress reduction, emotional tapping, or Aroma Freedom Technique, all of these are things that I help, um, you walk through in Accelerate Your Fertility Bootcamp, um, my program that is a 12-week program that helps you deal with stress, your monthly cycle, missed testing, and all of those things.
