How to Conceive Naturally (and Sooner!)

When you decide you're ready to start or grow your family, it's only natural to want it to happen quickly. While every journey is unique, there are effective, evidence-based steps you can take to support your body and increase your chances of conceiving naturally.

1. Learn Your Cycle and Fertile Window

   Understanding when you're most fertile is key to conceiving naturally. Ovulation typically happens about 14 days before your next period, and your fertile window is the five days leading up to ovulation plus ovulation day itself.

   Tip: Track your cycle using ovulation predictor kits, basal body temperature monitoring, or by observing changes in cervical mucus. Tools like OvaDetect™ can help take the guesswork out.

2. Optimise Your Nutrition

   Fuel your body with the nutrients it needs for a healthy pregnancy. A balanced diet rich in:

   • Leafy greens

   • Lean proteins

   • Whole grains

   • Healthy fats (like avocado and olive oil)

   supports both hormone balance and egg health.

   Fertility boosters: Consider supplements with folic acid, CoQ10, and vitamin D to give your body the best foundation.

3. Maintain a Healthy Weight

   Being underweight or overweight can affect ovulation and hormone production. Aiming for a healthy BMI (typically between 18.5 and 24.9) can naturally support fertility.

   Remember: This applies to both partners, as sperm health is equally important.

4. Reduce Stress

   Chronic stress can disrupt hormonal signals involved in ovulation. Find stress-busting habits that suit you, such as:

   • Yoga or stretching

   • Journaling

   • Spending time outdoors

   • Deep breathing exercises

   Small daily actions can have a big impact on your overall fertility health.

5. Choose Fertility-Friendly Products

   Some everyday lubricants can hinder sperm movement. Look for sperm-safe options like Pre-Seed or other fertility-friendly lubricants that mimic your body’s natural fluids.

6. Get Regular, Gentle Exercise

   Moderate exercise, like brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, helps maintain healthy hormone levels and reduces stress. However, avoid excessive high-intensity workouts, which can sometimes interfere with ovulation.

7. Know When to Seek Help

   If you're under 35 and have been trying for 12 months (or over 35 and trying for 6 months) without success, it’s a good idea to consult a fertility specialist. Getting advice early can save valuable time.
