Here are 10 common behaviors and factors that can significantly affect fertility and reduce your chances of conceiving:
1. Regular and Excessive Alcohol Consumption
Regularly consuming large amounts of alcohol—including liquor, beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages—over a prolonged period can reduce your chances of getting pregnant by up to 50%. Women who wish to conceive should limit their alcohol intake to no more than one drink per day, equivalent to approximately 120 milliliters of wine.
2. Regular Smoking
Women who smoke more than 10 cigarettes daily have approximately three times higher risk of difficulty conceiving compared to non-smokers. Cigarettes contain harmful toxins that decrease egg quality and implantation efficiency in the uterus. Smoking also accelerates menopause by up to two years and increases the risk of bone loss, fractures, and skeletal deformities.
3. Increasing Age and Hormonal Changes
As women age, especially after 30, hormonal and physical changes can gradually reduce fertility. Additionally, pregnancy at advanced maternal age increases risks for fetal health issues such as Down syndrome, liver problems, macrosomia (excessively large babies), and cleft palate. Timely pregnancy planning can help reduce these risks.
4. Stress
Many individuals unknowingly accumulate stress, negatively affecting mental health and fertility. Stress hormones can disrupt reproductive hormones, causing irregular ovulation and poor egg development, which complicates implantation and conception.
5. Unhealthy Eating Habits
Consuming unhealthy foods regularly, particularly those low in nutritional value, deprives the body of essential nutrients needed for fertility. Therefore, maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables that aren’t overly sweet significantly increases fertility and conception chances.
6. Excessive Weight Gain or Extreme Thinness
Significant weight fluctuations—both excessive weight gain and extreme thinness—can negatively impact the body’s readiness for pregnancy, reducing fertility and increasing miscarriage risk. Studies indicate that underweight women may take approximately four times longer to conceive, while overweight women may take twice as long compared to women with normal body weight.
7. Drinking More Than Two Cups of Coffee Per Day
Consuming about 300 milligrams of caffeine per day—approximately three cups of brewed coffee—increases infertility risk by more than 25%. Drinking more than three cups daily further increases the risk of miscarriage.
8. Regular Consumption of Carbonated Drinks
Frequently drinking carbonated beverages may feel refreshing but provides minimal nutritional value. Regular consumption is associated with elevated blood sugar, increased diabetes risk, and weight gain—all of which negatively affect fertility and increase the risk of infertility.
9. Lack of Exercise
Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining overall health and fertility. Exercise helps burn excess fat, stimulates sexual function and fertility, enhances heart health, and boosts energy levels. Lack of exercise reduces overall health and fertility potential, decreasing the chances of conceiving.
10. Excessive Exposure to Chemicals
Prolonged exposure to chemical pollutants, particularly in industrial areas or factories, can lead to chemical accumulation in the body. These substances can disrupt ovarian function and adversely affect reproductive cell activities.
It is essential for women planning to conceive to recognize that these behaviors and risk factors can significantly affect fertility and conception potential. By understanding and modifying these factors, you can improve your chances of successful conception.
