About Your Fertility
Approximately 1 in 6 couples in Ireland encounter challenges related to achieving a pregnancy. The term subfertility refers to challenges which can be related to one partner or both partners. If your attempts to conceive have extended beyond six months, it is advisable to consult with a medical professional for guidance.
Begin by gaining insight into the functioning of your reproductive system, identifying potential factors influencing your fertility and discovering strategies to enhance your likelihood of conception.
Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation - Grasp the concept of your fertility window.
The timing of sexual intercourse is crucial for successful conception. Engaging in intercourse 24-48 hours before ovulation offers the highest likelihood of pregnancy, as this period corresponds to peak fertility in women. Our online ovulation calculator, tailored to the length of your menstrual cycle, can pinpoint the optimal time for conception. Why not give it a try?
Enhance Your Well-being and Lifestyle.
There are several methods that you as a couple can adopt which may optimise your lifestyle and health in order to get ready for pregnancy.
Among them are:
- Understand and track your menstrual cycle.
- It is recommended that females take folic acid for at least three months before attempting to conceive.
- Take care of known illnesses like diabetes.
- Achieve an optimal weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen.
- Quit smoking, as it diminishes fertility by about 40%.
- Decrease alcohol and caffeine consumption.
- Consult with a healthcare provider for antenatal blood tests.
- Review current medications and discuss their implications for pregnancy with a healthcare professional.
