PCOS also known as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, causes considerable amounts of male hormones like testosterone to be produced that may make it hard for eggs to reach maturity. Whenever these androgens are in surplus then the follicles of the ovaries may not develop into mature eggs.

Difficulties with the thyroid gland are frequently at the root of the disrupted menstrual cycle and a reduced ability to conceive.

Obesity or even carrying excess weight could result in infertility. Living an inactive lifestyle has many wellness repercussions, just one of them being the disruption of ovulation and levels of being fertile.

Another point of conversation is something which medical practitioners will rarely advise you about, and if you’re unaware of, might mean you are conceiving without knowing it and just might be a reason why you are needing tips on how to get pregnant. (Please read on, as you just may find you have been getting pregnant and not even know it!):

It happens frequently (a lot more frequently than many medical doctors would like to admit) that some women that are labelled ‘infertile’ have really been experiencing miscarriages! There’s a significant distinction between never conceiving, or getting pregnant but miscarrying – it’s often the situation that miscarriages will occur early within the pregnancy, and are mistaken for just a menstrual period which is the reason it is very difficult to diagnose. Women all over the world may be unaware of the reality that they are actually conceiving and not realizing it, because they haven’t been taught how to be familiar with the rhythm and cycle of their bodies.

By knowing how to read your body and its workings, you are able to much better realize what the issue is. You need a minimum of ten days between ovulation and menstruation for conception to occur, and you can know yourself if you’ve conceived by recording your basal temperature daily. In general, if you have eighteen consecutive days with a high temperature after you have ovulated then this is indicative of a pregnancy – if you’re having these readings and then having a menstrual period it is a very good chance that you have been getting pregnant then miscarrying.

If you really know what is happening in your body, you can virtually always avoid the the painful procedure of having to diagnose potential infertility difficulties you more than likely may not have. If you are miscarrying, then you will find different procedures for this issue, in contrast to having infertility problems, (though of course there are lots of alternatives that are natural to help with problems of miscarriage). You don’t want to be looking into frequently distressing and invasive methods to discover why you can’t conceive, when in fact you aren’t infertile at all!

Within the United States there are around 6,000,000 couples of which around 10 percent of them will encounter infertility as outlined by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. A couple is termed infertile following twelve consecutive months of attempting to fall pregnant unsuccessfully.

Even so, there are still millions of women around the world that are asking the question ‘why am I not falling pregnant?’ and are dubbed with ‘unexplained infertility’ by medical professionals when in fact they are fertile (and they’re then prescribed all kinds of infertility drug treatments unnecessarily). It’s often the situation that they merely haven’t been taught how to read their bodies cycles and learn how to maximize their chances of getting pregnant naturally. This really is the situation the world over.

Infertility as outlined by the medical profession shouldn’t be mixed up with sterility. There’s a huge distinction – one is actually a total inability to accomplish conception, the other is only a year of trying unsuccessfully. Those who are labelled infertile are generally put on many expensive medications, painful procedures and/or even surgery, which combine to be a really traumatic, draining experience which is in no way guaranteed to accomplish results.

Just hold on a tick – did you see anything stated there about all of the alternate options to infertility treatments? The fact is there are many natural methods that do not comprise all the physical, emotional and financial drain! Try to remember that there is an alternative to surgery and drugs if required.

You can find lots of causes for infertility, here are some reasons potentially ceasing you from falling pregnant. You can use them as tips on how to get pregnant by eliminating what’s considered necessary from your lifestyle or fixing some challenges (naturally if possible):

Infertility could be due to smoking habits in either parent. Smoking can damage the ovaries (not to mention the damage to a baby’s health) and in men it can decrease sperm count in addition to sperm motility.

Non predictable cycles in women can be a consequence of hormonal imbalances which make determining ovulation times very difficult.

Success Story #9: Dorothy Macleod

“After two months of trying, I got pregnant with my first baby boy. With one blocked tube and 2 ovarian cysts, I think this is nothing short of a miracle!”

“Hello Lisa, I have no words to express my gratitude, Lisa…I have fought with infertility issues for more than a decade. My Gyn told a year ago that one of my tubes was blocked, and had insisted that IVF was the only option left for me. I was desperate and terrified due to my relatively advanced age (I was 38 a year ago) and the 2 ovarian cysts that were giving me hell, that I would be childless. My husband and I decided we will keep on fighting as I have read many awful stories about the side effects, the low success rates and pain involved with the IVF procedure so we kept looking for a natural alternative. We almost gave up and then I found your website and emailed you for guidance BEFORE I bought your program. You were so supportive and kind that I immediately ordered your book and started the program along with my husband who had poor sperm motility(an issue that your program addressed as well). After two months of trying I got pregnant with my first baby boy. With one blocked tube and 2 ovarian cysts, I think this is nothing short of a miracle!

Thank you for everything, Lisa!”

Have you ever been warned by your Doctor about the daily

toxins in your home that you breathe in could be preventing

you from falling pregnant, or causing your miscarriages?

Wait! Before you say that’s impossible, keep reading for

how to rid formaldehyde (one household toxin mentioned by

the US National Toxicology Program Database for its proven

ability to increase infertility and miscarriage.)

When Dr. B.C. Wolverton, a noted scientist, was trying to

create a ‘breathable environment’ for a NASA lunar

habitat, his research led him to discover that houseplants

are the best filters of common indoor toxins!

Formaldehyde and other toxins we breathe in daily from

carpets, house paints, plastics and much more can be

removed by introducing certain plants into the home.

Let’s get straight to it. Here are three (3) plants that can

reduce formaldehyde significantly:

Florist’s Mum (Chrysanthemum morifolium)

one of the best flowering plants for removing formaldehyde,

benzene, and ammonia from the atmosphere.

CAUTION: Chrysanthemum leaves are poisonous. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets that may play with or ingest this plant.

Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina)

often referred to as ‘ficus‘ is the second one on the list for

the excellent removal of formaldehyde.

Tulips (Tulipa gesneriana)

although a seasonal indoor plant it has been shown to remove

formaldehyde, xylene and ammonia from the atmosphere.

Each of these require different types of care, some more than others. Ask your local retailer for advice on caring for these plants indoors. If you take care of your ‘toxin eradicating’ plants, they will take care of you!

Don’s Best Indoor Figs

Indoor plants can add enormous beauty to your home, as well as giving it a natural, relaxed feel. One of the most fashionable plants in Australia at the moment is Ficus benjamina, the weeping fig. Although it is a rainforest giant in its natural habitat, the species and its cultivars make very good indoor or tub specimens. Don looked at some of the varieties of weeping fig that are available, and also at the fiddleleaf fig (Ficus lyrata) another species which makes an excellent house plant.

Plant details

Common name: Weeping fig
Botanical name: Ficus benjamina

Varieties:

‘Exotica’ – this variety doesn’t sulk as much as the original weeping fig but the leaves are susceptible to yellowing. The growth habit is still a bit open for an indoor plant. If pruned and trained as a standard it is more compact.

‘Francis Goldstar’ - a variegated leaf form that is a little more dense than Exotica, and is less likely to drop leaves.

‘Reginald’ - a variegated golden variety with a dense growth habit.

‘Bushy Prince’ – extremely dense, very attractive growth habit.

‘Bushy King’ – similar to Bushy Prince but the leaves are variegated.

‘Midnight Beauty’ - dark, almost black foliage with a dense growth habit. It is the best of the weeping figs and can be grown as a standard as well as a shrub.

Good points

attractive shiny leaves elegant weeping habit tolerant of moderately low light levels and some neglect

Downside:

tends to drop leaves if moved to a new position susceptible to scale and mealy bug if planted in the ground roots are very invasive

Care:

Weeping figs grown indoors should be watered well in summer, but given less water in the cooler months. They need a position in moderately good light, and benefit from the application of a slow-release fertiliser in spring. Trim regularly to keep plants bushy and compact.

Fiddleleaf fig:

The fiddleleaf or banjo fig (Ficus lyrata) has large, glossy, tropical looking leaves shaped like the base of a violin. It’s hardy, doesn’t drop its leaves and indoors it is virtually unkillable. It tends to grow long stems up to the ceiling which can look a bit gangly, but they can be pruned if necessary. The fiddleleaf fig makes a wonderful indoor accent plant.

Cost and availability:

Most varieties of weeping fig are available from nurseries Australia wide. They cost about $17 for 175mm (7″) pots, and $55 for 300mm (12″) pots. Standards in 200mm (8″) pots are around $29, and $60 to $150 for 300mm (12″) pots.

The fiddleleaf fig (Ficus lyrata) costs around $16 for a 200mm (8″) pot.
