Learning that one in six Australians will encounter fertility challenges in their life can make it easy to feel down about your chances of conceiving.
\n\tBut while infertility is a fact of life, everyone is different and taking these steps could increase your chances of getting pregnant.
\n\tGenea Fertility is passionate about encouraging conversations surrounding fertility and building awareness of the factors affecting fertility. We asked a Genea fertility specialist to highlight the major factors which can impact fertility and the steps we can take to improve our chances.<\/p>\n

\n\tYour chances of conceiving reduce significantly as you get older. By the age of 40, a woman\u2019s chance of getting pregnant within a monthly cycle reduces to five percent. It’s true for the fellas, too – male fertility starts to decline between 40-45 years. Many leave it too late when seeking advice regarding their fertility.<\/p>\n
\n\tA fertility specialist should treat every patient on an individual basis. Genea specialists don’t rush patients into IVF until it’s proven to be necessary. Instead, they tailor the treatment to the individual, often trying ovulation tracking and induction first.
\n\tGenea doctors and scientists have access to world leading technologies and use them to help deliver results through the least number of stimulated cycles possible \u2013 an approach that saves patients the emotional and financial cost of treatment.<\/p>\n
\n\tEat fresh! Try to cut out processed food and live an active life. Swap coffee and alcohol for water and of course, stop smoking.
\n\tIt\u2019s about slow carbs, not no carbs. Fuel up on whole grains, fruit, vegetables and beans. Enjoy healthy fats such as whole milk, nuts, seeds and protein packages of poultry and cold-water fish.<\/p>\n
