Some people believe that marriages are sealed by having children.
Some couples end up being frustrated after their efforts to get a baby don't bear fruit. In some cases, we experience difficulties in conceiving due to the mistakes we make.
Here are some of the mistakes women make when trying to get pregnant.
1. Mistiming
Most women think that they are more fertile the day they ovulate. However, the most fertile days are the first two days preceding the ovulation day.
It is important to liaise with your doctor for more advice and guidelines towards the same since once the fertility window closes the chances of getting pregnant goes down. You should also seek a doctor's advice if your periods are irregular.
2. Using lubricants
It is important to note that a woman's vagina produces a natural lubricant which acts as a pathway for the sperms to reach the ovum. Using external lubricants might be a threat to sperms as they work differently from the body's natural lubricants thus reducing the chances of conceiving.
3. Keeping unhealthy diet
For those who are trying to get pregnant, it is important to maintain a healthy diet. One should also stay away from alcohol and smoking. Women should also take meals rich in vitamins and supplements that aid in conception. Some of these include vitamin B, D, antioxidants among others.
