Have a healthy diet!! Also, taking a prenatal vitamin as many do not have enough folic acid in our diets. Stay away from processed foods and fast foods. Cook meals from scratch there are lots of great recipes that can make healthy meals in less than 10 minutes. I personally like the Noom app as it helps teach you about foods low in saturated fats and how to increase complex carbohydrates.
2. Being at a BMI of less than 25 optimally will help your chances. This of course will entail an exercise program.
Make sure you are ovulating (releasing an egg). You can do this by taking an LH test over 5 days in the luteal phase (usually days 10-15 of your cycle). Using this will alert you to your fertile times. It is important to note that if you have not achieved pregnancy within 1 year (age less than 35 yo), see your OBGYN for an infertility evaluation bloodwork to test your egg reserve, thyroid, and screen for diabetes. In addition, a structural investigation may be done to make sure the uterus has no defects, your Fallopian tubes are open, you are ovulating and your OB-GYN may also order a semen analysis.
Sleeping 7-8 hours a day reduces stress and helps maintain normal body weight. Use an LH kit you can buy this at a drug store I personally like Clear Blue Easy. Read the instructions carefully as you need first morning urine. You should test for 1-3 cycles to determine if you are ovulating if the test is negative see your OB-GYN. If it is positive and after 6 cycles of trying to get pregnant you are unsuccessful you will need an infertility evaluation as described above.
