10 Behaviors and Risk Factors for Difficulty Conceiving

1.Regular and excessive alcohol consumption

Drinking a lot of alcohol, such as liquor, beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages, regularly and for a long time can reduce the chances of getting pregnant by up to 50%. Therefore, women who do not want to experience this problem should not drink more than one drink per day or its equivalent, which is about 120 milliliters of wine.

2.Smoking regularly

Women who smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day have a three times higher chance of experiencing difficulty conceiving compared to non-smoking women. Cigarettes contain various harmful toxins that can decrease the quality and efficiency of the eggs, making it difficult for them to implant in the uterus. Smoking also accelerates the onset of menopause by up to 2 years and increases the risk of bone loss, fractures, and deformities.

3. Increasing age and hormonal changes

As age increases, hormones and physical changes associated with age gradually reduce the chances of pregnancy for women over the age of 30. In addition, getting pregnant at an older age also increases the risk of health problems in the developing fetus and the risk of various conditions such as Down syndrome, liver disease, macrosomia, and cleft palate. However, pregnancy can help reduce these problems.

4. Stress

Many people may accumulate stress without realizing it, which has negative effects on mental health and can also contribute to difficulty conceiving. Stress hormones can interfere with the functioning of reproductive hormones, leading to irregular ovulation and incomplete egg development, making it more difficult for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus.

5.Unhealthy eating habits

Consuming the same unhealthy food every day, especially food with little nutritional value, can deprive the body of essential nutrients, which can contribute to difficulty conceiving. Therefore, it is important to choose a varied and balanced diet, particularly including vegetables and fruits that are not overly sweet, to increase the chances of conception.

6.Excessive weight gain or extreme thinness

Many people may not realize that significant weight fluctuations, whether gaining or losing weight, can make it difficult for the body to prepare for pregnancy and decrease fertility. It also increases the risk of miscarriage. Studies have found that women with lower-than-normal body weight take about 4 times longer to conceive, while women with overweight take about 2 times longer compared to women with normal body weight.

7. Drinking more than two cups of coffee per day

Consuming approximately 300 milligrams of caffeine per day, which is equivalent to 3 cups of self-brewed coffee, increases the risk of difficulty conceiving or infertility by more than 25%. Drinking more than three cups of coffee daily further increases the risk of miscarriage.

8. Regular consumption of carbonated drinks

Drinking carbonated beverages regularly may provide a refreshing feeling, but they have little nutritional value. Consuming them continuously or frequently increases the risk of high blood sugar, which can lead to diabetes, and it is also associated with overweight, which affects fertility and increases the chances of difficulty conceiving.

9. Lack of exercise

Physical exercise is essential for maintaining good health and strength. It helps burn accumulated fat, stimulates sexual feelings and fertility, improves heart function, and boosts energy levels. Not exercising reduces overall physical efficiency, including the chances of conceiving.

10. Excessive exposure to various chemicals

Being in environments with high levels of chemicals or pollutants, such as industrial zones or factories, makes it difficult to avoid inhaling or consuming contaminated substances. Accumulation of chemicals in the body can disrupt the functioning of the ovaries, leading to abnormal reproductive cell activity.

It is important for many women to realize that these behaviors and risk factors can affect their ability to conceive.
