Infertility home care: timing intercourse, healthy weight, no smoking, folic acid and stress care.
Home measures cannot treat blocked tubes, severe sperm problems or similar causes, but healthy habits can support fertility in both partners.
Time intercourse well
Healthy habits
For men
What to avoid
Emotional care
Talk openly with your partner. Avoid blame. Consider counselling.
Key point
Healthy habits help, but if pregnancy has not occurred in 6 to 12 months, see a doctor together.
Before your appointment
Come as a couple if you can. Note how long you have been trying, cycle length and regularity, past pregnancies, surgeries, infections and medicines. Bring past reports and, if available, a semen analysis. List supplements and herbs you take, along with smoking, alcohol and exercise habits. Ask about tests, treatment options, costs, success rates and the warning signs that mean you should call 112 or 102.
