Understanding Female Fertility

Female fertility is influenced by many factors, including age, hormonal balance, lifestyle, and underlying health conditions. Ovulation must occur regularly, and the reproductive organs must be healthy for conception to take place.

Did you know?

A woman is most fertile in her early 20s to early 30s.

Ovulation usually happens around day 14 of a 28-day cycle.

Chronic stress, obesity, underweight, and poor nutrition can disrupt hormonal balance and ovulation.

Smoking, excessive alcohol, and untreated infections also reduce fertility.

What can help?

Track your ovulation using apps, basal body temperature, or ovulation test kits.

Eat a fertility-friendly diet rich in folate, iron, and healthy fats.

See a fertility specialist if you’ve been trying to conceive for over 12 months (or 6 months if over age 35).

Stay informed. Stay empowered.

PCOS - POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME
Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) is a condition in which the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of androgens, male s*x hormones that are usually present in women in small amounts. The name polycystic o***y syndrome describes the numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) that form in the ovaries. However, some women with this disorder do not have cysts, while some women without the disorder do develop cysts.

Ovulation occurs when a mature egg is released from an o***y. This happens so it can be fertilized by a male s***m. If the egg is not fertilized, it is sent out of the body during your period.

In some cases, a woman doesn’t make enough of the hormones needed to ovulate. When ovulation doesn’t happen, the ovaries can develop many small cysts. These cysts make hormones called androgens. Women with PCOS often have high levels of androgens. This can cause more problems with a woman’s menstrual cycle. And it can cause many of the symptoms of PCOS.

Treatment for PCOS is often done with medication. This can’t cure PCOS, but it helps reduce symptoms and prevent some health problems.

Vitamin B6 and Male Fertility

While vitamin B6 may be included in supplements sold to support male fertility, there is no evidence that it has an effect. A review of research on these supplements found no support for B6 (or some other B vitamins, including B1, B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), and B5).

26/10/2022

The most important supplement to take while trying to conceive and throughout pregnancy is a standard prenatal vitamin containing folic acid. It's important to get at least 400mcg to 800 mcg of folic acid per day.
