WHY AM I NOT GETTING PREGNANT
UNEXPECTED FACTORS REDUCE YOUR CHANCES OF PREGNANCY
There are several unexpected factors that can reduce a couple's chances of becoming pregnant. Some of these include:
Stress: High levels of stress can affect the body's ability to ovulate and can also decrease sperm count and motility.
Weight: Being underweight or overweight can disrupt the normal functioning of the reproductive system and make it difficult to conceive.
Diet: A poor diet can contribute to infertility by affecting the hormonal balance in the body.
Caffeine: Consuming large amounts of caffeine has been linked to reduced fertility in both men and women.
Alcohol: Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to decreased sperm count and motility in men and can also disrupt ovulation in women.
Smoking: Smoking has been linked to decreased fertility in both men and women. It can also increase the risk of miscarriage.
Environmental toxins: Exposure to certain chemicals and pollutants in the environment can negatively impact fertility.
Certain medications: Certain medications can affect fertility, including certain antidepressants, antipsychotics, and certain types of hormones (example like birth control pills)
It's always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider if you are trying to conceive and have concerns about any of these factors.
I also recommend to maintain a healthy lifestyle, healthy body weight, balanced diet, quit smoking and limit alcohol to improve the chances of pregnancy.
