4. Keep a check on your biological clock

Natural pregnancy is any day better. Keeps a check on your biological clock, as we age our biological clock starts ticking. It's hard to know when is the right time to do something about checking your fertility or should you wait another two months, six months or do something now? Dr. Shobha Gupta said "Women are most fertile in their early 20s and their fertility declines with age. From the age of 35, this fall becomes steeper. The more "fertility aware" you are the better, so you can make an informed decision and be aware that it might take you longer to conceive"

5. Limit the usage of laptops, computers and phones

Especially during night limit the usage of electronic devices as radiation from them harms your fertility big time. Instead of working on laptops to stivking to your phone; invest your time in your partner.

6. Pay attention to your digestive system

Goswami explained 'You can have a great diet, but if you have a poor digestive system, with inflammation, fermentation and poor gut function, the way everything functions in the pelvic cavity won't be optimal'.

7. Last but not the least seek a professional advice

You are the best person yourself to know about your body. When you think everything is getting lost and things go out of your way its best to seek a professional's advice on your fertility.
