Natural Fertility Tips: Guide to Boost Your Chances of Pregnancy

Natural Fertility Tips : Ready to start a family, but looking for safe, natural ways to get pregnant? At Gheeth IVF, we believe that small, meaningful changes to diet, lifestyle, and mindset can significantly enhance your fertility. In this post, we share our favourite natural fertility tips to help you prepare your body, mind and relationship for parenthood.

Understand How Fertility Works

  • Getting pregnanct naturally is a coordinated process: healthy eggs, sperm, hormone balance, and timing all matter. For women, ovulation generally happens about 14 days before the next period; knowing your cycle is key. For men, sperm health, count and motility are vital. Hormonal disorders, weight extremes, stress and age can all reduce fertility potential.

Nutrition That Supports Fertility

Let food be your medicine” rings especially true when trying to conceive. Opt for:

  • Whole grains, leafy greens, nuts and seeds — these help hormone balance and ovulation. 

  • Healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, flax-seeds for egg and sperm health. 

  • Minimising processed foods, refined sugars and trans-fats, which can increase inflammation and reduce fertility.

Indian foods like avial pack a poweful mix of veggies and healthy antioxidants.

Lifestyle Habits That Make a Difference

Fertility isn’t just about the body—your habits matter too.

1. Sleep

7-8 hours nightly helps hormone regulation.

2. Exercise

Moderate activity helps maintain healthy weight and improves insulin sensitivity. But avoid extreme workouts that may suppress ovulation.

3. Addiction

Smoking, excessive alcohol, and exposure to plastics/pesticides can reduce fertility.

4. Weight

Maintain a healthy BMI: Both too low and too high body-mass index affect ovulation and sperm quality.

Supplements & Vitamins for boosting natural fertility

  • While supplements don’t replace a healthy lifestyle, they can fill gaps. Commonly advised nutrients include:
  • Folic acid (400 mcg daily) – well known for pre-conception health
  • Vitamin D – supports hormone balance and sperm/egg health
  • Zinc, selenium, CoQ10 – beneficial for egg & sperm quality

Timing & Fertility Awareness

  • Track your menstrual cycle and use ovulation kits or basal body temperature charts.
  • Know your fertile window: ideally the day of ovulation and the two days before.
  • For couples with regular cycles, frequent intercourse around these days increases chances significantly.
  • Often forgotten, but just as crucial: male fertility health.
  • Foods rich in zinc, antioxidants and omega-3s are beneficial.
  • Avoid tight underwear, high heat (e.g., laptops on lap), excessive alcohol & smoking.
  • Encourage healthy weight, regular exercise (not extremes).
    These support sperm count, motility and morphology.
  • Conditions like PCOS, thyroid disorders and insulin resistance are common fertility-barriers and should be managed with diet, exercise and specialist care. 
  • Weight management helps: even a modest 5% weight loss may restore ovulation in overweight women.
  • Nutrients such as iron, magnesium and B-vitamins support cycle health and egg quality.
  • For women: balancing hormones and maintaining a regular cycle are key.
    •  
  • Stress isn’t just “late delivery” — it physiologically impacts fertility. Elevated cortisol affects your hypothalamus and thus ovulation or sperm production.
  • Practise mindfulness, yoga, deep-breathing or even a hobby you enjoy.
  • Keep intimacy positive and supportive — connection matters.
  • If the journey feels overwhelming, don’t hesitate to seek counselling.
  • Many couples wonder if they can increase chances of twins. While nothing is guaranteed, some factors may elevate the odds:
  • Family history of twins (especially maternal line)
  • Maternal age (over ~30) where there may be higher FSH and possibly multiple ovulation
  • Stopping hormonal birth control may lead to rebound multiple ovulation in some women
  • Twin pregnancies carry higher risks — so focus on safe, healthy conception over “just twins”.
