Getting married at the age of 32, Shiva, tried her best to mother a baby. After a few months of unsuccessful attempts, she consulted a gynecologist who recommended In-vitro fertilization (IVF). But Shivia knew she could not afford the cost of IVF at any point in time. Shattered, she was upset for a long time. Little did she know that there are alternate treatment therapies that can help the body gain the vitality to nurture a baby.

Dr. Shivani Bhutani, an expert gynecologist in North India, says that getting pregnant is the process of mating two healthy bodies and two healthy minds.

The onus lies in creating a sound body where the embryo can grow and stay. Dr. Bhutani suggests a few alternative therapies that can aid the body to get its nutrients and gain strength to bear a baby.

What are the Safest Alternative Therapies to Get Pregnant?

Dr. Bhutani says that the following alternate therapies are mechanisms, which along with medical treatment, can ensure a healthy and sound body to get pregnant and fight infertility:

Yoga

Yoga is an age-old therapy from the yore of the yogis of the bygone era. Yoga was the secret of their ageless skin and health. Dr. Bhutani says the specific asanas in yoga can help increase the libido, make your body and mind stress-free, improve the blood circulation and heal the vices (doshas) in the body which prevent you from getting pregnant.

The calming techniques in yoga are good for all age groups for holistic development in the body and definitely make you calm enough to deal with the stress of infertility.

Acupuncture

The age-old Chinese practice of using needles and energy, Acupuncture, has now proved that this can be an effective aid to help avoid miscarriages and enhance the success rate of IVF. The anecdotal success of acupuncture as an alternate source of treatment is commendable. Studies have shown that IVF patients can get huge success with the help of acupuncture treatments done at the hands of specialists.

Dr. Bhutani, an experienced infertility expert, says that cases of unexplained infertility, where the cause of infertility or miscarriages cannot be known, can be dealt with with this alternate therapy.

Diet rich in Nutrients

The old saying –

‘You are what you eat, holds true in magnanimous proportion in pregnancy and fertility.

IVF alone cannot help you get and stay pregnant if your body has been exposed to too many vices like alcohol and cigarettes. A sound body can be prepared by incorporating healthy nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and herbs that promote fertility.

Healthy oils, Omega-3, flaxseeds, green vegetables, sesame, plant-based proteins, and dairy products help in controlling hormones production, keeping insulin in check, and enhancing regular ovulation.

Dr. Bhutani advocates a healthy diet much before you even plan to get pregnant. She emphasizes a healthy diet for both the man as well as the woman to be able to conceive a baby.

Exercise and Meditation

You need to gain control over your lives before entering parenthood. Exercise stimulates the pregnancy hormones and meditation helps alleviate stress due to infertility and other tensions. You need to be at peace to get pregnant soon. Shiva realized that stress was the most important factor that was curtailing pregnancy. Meditation helped her gain peace of mind to welcome the baby and get pregnant.

Last Words

Pregnancy is a feeling of utmost joy in the world. The thought of parenting the little bundle of joy can be the happiest feeling.

If infertility or miscarriage are the obstructions, get in touch with Punjab’s best and the most reliable gynecologist, Dr. Shivani Bhutani at EVA Hospital, Ludhiana and seek consultation regarding IVF and effective alternate sources of treatment to enter the world of parenthood.

How quickly can you Expect to get Pregnant?

Your world changes the moment you think of planning a baby. Getting pregnant becomes the most prior thing once the idea of entering the threshold of motherhood enters your mind. The factors which determine the time it takes to get pregnant are usually age, well-timed intercourse, and a body ready to accept the pregnancy.

What is the best time for intercourse to get Pregnant?

Best time to get Pregnant: Some women get pregnant very quickly. Nearly 1 out of every three women can get pregnant within a month if they time the intercourse around ovulation days.

Ovulating days or fertile days have to be calculated and having unprotected intercourse during the fertile days increases your chances of getting pregnant.

It is important to know when you ovulate each month to get pregnant quickly. Dr. Shivani Bhutani, the leading infertility expert of Punjab, says that having unprotected intercourse on the days of ovulation leads to the best results.

Ovulation happens 10 to 16 days before the start of your next period. This will help you determine the cycle length before planning pregnancy. When an egg is released from the ovary, calculate the day before that and the day after that as the most fertile days.

Some factors that may help you calculate Ovulation are:

Release of Eggs

The egg lives for nearly 12-24 hours after it is released and if it comes in contact with the sperm during this time, you can get pregnant instantly. You may also note that the life of the sperm is about 5 days inside a female body and if intercourse takes place around the ovulation days, chances are that sperm in the body can fertilize the eggs.

Body Temperature

Note your body temperature each morning when you wake up and you will notice a rise of about 0.2 degrees Celsius when the ovulation has taken place. Though this is not a conclusive means to get pregnant, yet you may monitor body temperature to assess the fertile window.

Changes in Mucous

A sticky, white mucus is secreted by the cervix throughout the menstrual cycle. Gauge the secretion and as it becomes thinner, clearer and increases in secretion, ovulation is either going to start or it is going on. The best time to have intercourse or the ‘peak day’ is when you experience the wetter secretions.

There is an ovulation test kit that also detects a particular hormone in urine that signifies the onset of ovulation. After you calculate ovulation, the position of intercourse will also determine how quickly the sperm and the egg can mate.

The man should be able to ejaculate sperm into the vagina and the position of the intercourse doesn’t matter. However, it is advisable that the woman raises her leg upwards for a while post-intercourse so that the sperm can travel to the womb and is not ejected from the body.

How long will it take to get Pregnant?

If you have had regularly unprotected (without the use of contraceptives or condoms) vaginal intercourse every two to three days, the chances are that under the age of 40, more than 8 out of every 10 women can get pregnant within one year. 90% of the couples can conceive within 2 years of unprotected intercourse.

The age of the couple is very significant. Beyond 35 years of age, the fertility quotient goes lower. The number of eggs and sperm production decreases with increasing age. Beyond 40 years of age, you may be advised of particular fertility treatments.

You must seek advice from the best gynecologist around you if you do not get pregnant within one year of unprotected intercourse at the time of ovulation. Dr. Shivani says, stressing too much about getting pregnant also delays your chances of getting pregnant. So you must enjoy and have stress-free intercourse while you plan a baby.

The doctor will analyze the causes of your not getting pregnant and thus may vary with age, fertility timings, weight, infertility symptoms, or maybe just a ‘matter of time’.

Last words

Dr. Shivani from EVA Hospital advises women to be active, have a normal weight, avoid alcohol and smoking, and follow a healthy, balanced diet to get pregnant quickly.

A healthy body with a stress-free mind has better chances of conception. For any queries or suggestions to get pregnant quickly, contact Dr. Shivani Bhutani for the most genuine advice.
