Despite what the dire statistics state, despite the conventional wisdom, and despite any reservations you or others may have, you can get pregnant even after the age of 40.
No, this is not a scam.
You can get pregnant easier and faster even if you have been trying for a while.
Here is the secret: reduce your exposure to cigarette smoke and change your diet! That is all there is to it.
The journal "Fertility and Sterility" has a published study where doctors found that men who stopped smoking showed a rise in sperm count of up to 800 percent.
According to Margareta D.
Pisarska, MD, co-director of Center for Reproductive Medicine at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and editor-in-chief of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine News, smokers undergoing fertility treatments usually require much higher doses of fertility medication than non-smokers.
However, it is not just smokers that can negatively affect your fertility.
It can also be affected by just being around smokers.
A recent study in "Human Reproduction" showed that second-hand smoke reduced the pregnancy rates in women going through fertility treatments.
Just because you and/or your partner quit smoking or you avoid those that do, other lifestyle choices can be a factor in getting pregnant.
Another factor besides smoking is the foods you eat.
New research being published in medical journals focuses on the link between diet and fertility.
In fact, these studies indicate that infertile people/couples lack important nutrients in their diet.
One study in "OBGYN News" is research done by a group of Harvard researchers.
What they found is that in 79 percent of infertile couples consumed lower amounts of foods high in antioxidants when compared to couples deemed as "fertile.
" Antioxidants are found in fruits and vegetables.
This is especially important to note as previous studies have shown that there is a link between vitamins C and E and male fertility.
