At BirthRight Fertility by Rainbow Hospitals, we nurture and care for couples with deep understanding and guidance with practical, evidence-based tips to help get ready for pregnancy. Here is the simple guide to supporting fertility naturally.
1. The Preconception Check-up
A
pre-pregnancy consultation with a gynecologist helps to understand general health, fertility health and identify any potential health concerns (pre-existing medical conditions- thyroid disorders, anaemia, Diabetes etc) and prepares your body for a healthy
conception, without waiting for the positive pregnancy test result.
2. Understand your Fertile Window
Fertile period is when the ovulation occurs usually 12–14 days before your next period. Remember to have intercourse every alternate day with your partner to improve your chances of conception. If you are not sure of the fertile period, identify the fertile period using
ovulation calculators or ovulation kits.
3. Achieve a Healthy Fertility Weight
Weight is another key aspect, hence maintaining a healthy BMI (19-25) to support hormone balance and regular ovulation. Overweight or underweight poses several pregnancy complications and infertility issues.
4. Start Prenatal Supplements Early
Folic acid supplements are essential for early fetal development and supporting healthy ovulation.
Consult our specialists to find the right balance of Iron, Vitamin D, and Omega-3s for your needs.

Including whole grains, legumes, leafy greens, healthy fats, and antioxidant-rich fruits in your diet can support hormone balance and improve overall reproductive health.
6. Stay Active with Moderate Exercise
Regular moderate exercise such as walking, swimming, or yoga helps maintain hormonal balance and supports fertility.
7. Protect Sperm Health
Sperm are highly sensitive to temperature. Male partners should avoid excess heat from hot tubs, saunas, and resting laptops directly on their laps to maintain healthy
sperm count and motility.
8. Prioritize Sleep Hygiene
Highly recommended to get around 7–8 hours of quality sleep each night to support ovulation and sperm production.
9. Adopt Healthy Habits
Couples need to limit smoking, alcohol, and excessive caffeine to protect egg quality and improve sperm health.

Stress is not the only reason for infertility. However, chronic high stress can obstruct with the with ovulation and sexual desire. Practice stress reducing activities like yoga, meditation, to overcome stress.
