Getting pregnant is not always easy, and fertility drugs are not always the first choice in ways to increase fertility. In fact, many people start their journey looking for natural ways increase their fertility and chances of conception. Although there is a host of natural remedies on the market, some of the best natural solutions include simple lifestyle changes and herbal remedies.

1. Weight Control
Probably the most helpful in getting pregnant is maintaining a healthy weight. Excess body fat leads to an overproduction of certain hormones that hinder ovulation. Likewise, being underweight can also cause a hormonal disruption that hinders, disrupts or delays ovulation.

2. Give up Smoking and Alcohol
We all know that giving up smoking is a wise health decision, but it is one that can also increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Nicotine significantly affects sperm production and quality as well as ovarian function and egg quality. Ovulatory function can also be affected by alcohol consumption.

3. Eat Nutritiously
An optimally nutritious diet increases the odds of conception in many ways. One of the most beneficial is in regulating the menstrual cycle. Choose a diet that includes protein, iron, zinc and vitamin C, and include a daily supplement.

4. Rest and De-Stress
It is impossible to measure the impact not getting enough rest or a stressful environment can have on our body. Allot enough time for sleep and try stress reduction techniques.

5. Try Fertility Herbs
There are some herbs known to increase fertility. Here are a few of the most popular herbal remedies:

Chasteberry- Is known to balance sex hormones and stimulate the pituitary gland.

Evening Primrose Oil- Is used to aid in the production of quality cervical fluid, which is necessary for sperm to travel the tube properly.

Flaxseed Oil- Is used in both men and women to increase fertility. In men, it is used to treat impotence and increase sperm health. In women, flaxseed oil improves uterine function and stabilizes the estrogen-progesterone ratios.

Red Clover- Is a benefit to women with irregular menstrual cycles, scarred fallopian tubes or abnormal cells in the reproductive tract. To realize the benefits may require up to six months, however.

Many people find it very helpful to try natural remedies to increase fertility before moving on to medical intervention if necessary. It can help avoid unnecessary cost should they be successful in aiding in conception.
