 Examples of food to eat include to help your fertility journey include;

1. Eggs

Eggs, especially the egg yolks, are loaded with many essential nutrients such as iron, calcium, zinc,
Vitamin B6, folate, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin A. Eggs from pasture-raised chickens are also packed with
fertility-boosting Omega-3 fatty acids, which studies have shown to potentially prolong certain
reproductive functions into advanced maternal age.

2. Citrus fruits (Oranges, Grapefruits)

Citrus fruits are a great source of Vitamin C, which can help boost fertility and hormone levels in
females, as well as improve males’ sperm count and quality.

Grapefruits and oranges also contain polyamine putrescine, which has been associated with the
potential to improve egg and semen health.

3. Pineapple

Pineapples are a great source of Vitamin C. A 1 cup serving of pineapples will provide 46% of your daily
recommended Vitamin C levels. Low Vitamin C levels have been associated with Polycystic Ovary
Syndrome (PCOS), and so it is vital to reach your daily recommended intake of Vitamin C.
Pineapples also contain the natural enzyme bromelain, which has anti-inflammatory effects.
Inflammation may impede fertility, and chronic inflammation can even encourage the body to suppress
ovulation. Taking bromelain can encourage the immune system to deviate from an inflammatory state.

4. Liver

Liver, especially cow’s liver, is loaded with fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin a, which is necessary for
ensuring good quality of eggs as well as improving chances of implantation. They are also packed with
highly absorbable iron and vitamin b12, which helps in the prevention of miscarriages and anaemia.
Liver also contains choline, omega-3 fatty acids, and folate, all of which are great fertility-boosting
nutrients.

5. Beans and lentils

Beans and lentils are great sources of fibre and folate, which are both crucial in maintaining healthy
hormonal balances. They are also packed with protein, which can promote healthier ovulation in
females. Lentils also contain high levels of polyamine spermidine, which may aid in the fertilisation of
the egg.

6. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant that has been extensively studied for its
potential in improving male fertility. A study has shown that supplementing 4-8 mg of lycopene per day
for 8-12 months helped improve semen health and increase pregnancy rates. It is best to opt for cooked
tomatoes as 1 cup of cooked tomatoes contains almost twice as much lycopene as 1 cup of the raw
variant.

7. Spinach

Spinach is a great source of iron and folate. Iron is extremely important for the menstrual cycle as it
helps support ovulation and healthy egg development. It is also important to consume more iron before
conception to ensure that you are not entering the pregnancy anaemic.

Folate is another fertility-boosting nutrient that helps support normal foetal development and also
avoids pregnancy complications.

8. Sweet potato

Sweet potato is rich in beta-carotene, which is transformed into Vitamin A in the liver. Vitamin A is
necessary for maintaining luteinising hormone (LH) levels, a hormone necessary for ovulation.
 In addition, Vitamin A deficiency has also been associated with secondary infertility among females of
childbearing age.

9. Cod liver oil

Cod liver oil is a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which can help in reducing inflammation, balancing
hormones, and promote blood flow to the womb, all of which helps in boosting fertility. Cod liver oil is
also loaded with Vitamins A and D, both of which are fat-soluble vitamins that are essential for fertility
and conception

10. Cinnamon

Cinnamon supplements can help regulate menstrual cycles in women with PCOS, which is a common
cause of infertility in females. In a preliminary study conducted, it was reported that women with PCOS
had an increased number of menstrual cycles while taking daily cinnamon supplements compared to
those given a placebo, and as we know, the more ovulatory regular cycles, the more opportunities for
conception.

This is an ovulation calculator, it shows your fertile periods and your ovulation periods.

Below is another way to calculate your ovulation period;

1. From the first day you see the blood of your period.

2. Pick up a calendar and count 15 days including the first day of the blood stain.

3. Mark the 15th day with a pen.

4. Mark 3 days before the 15th day, and mark 3 days after the 15th day.

6. You will notice you have 7 days marked.

These 7 days are your ovulation/fertile days also known as unsafe period. That is if you have sex on any
of these days, then you have 98% chances of being pregnant.

7. Do this every month diligently

For example;
1. If your period is 11th July,

2. 15 days after the first day of the blood stain will be on 25th of this July too (2weeks after) counting
from 11th.

3. 15th day is on the 25th July

4. 3days before the 15th day is 22, 23, and 24

5. 3days after 25th July is 26, 27, and 28.

6. 22-28th July (7days) is when you are ovulating. It is your fertile period.

*Don't forget that the 4 days is a reminder that sperm stays in the female body for about 4 days. Any
sexual contact in between ovulation period will form something...

●If you want a baby girl, have

Sex between 3 days before ovulation (22- 24th)

■Female sperm swim slowly but can stay inside woman body for days without dying off,

●For a baby boy on the main ovulation day and 3 days after 25th. (26,27,28)

Male sperm swim very fast but will get weak and die off if no egg found for a while leaving female sperm
to finish the job.

...........

Major signs that your ovulation has began

■You don't need a doctor, just relax. After 2 weeks you may feel the following:

1. Headache.

2. High body temperature.

3. Dizziness (feeling of tiredness and sleepiness).

4. Breast tenderness/ size increases just like when you are menstruating.

5. Increased sex drive.

6. Light cramps or pain on one side of the pelvis.

7. Abdominal bloating.
8. Heightened sense of smell, taste or vision (you eat more).

9. Vagina mucus becomes slippery (if you notice, put it in between fingers...it stretches like thick catarrh
or snail mucus...colorless like egg white.

...........

N/B: The instance here is for ladies with 30 days cycle. And someone who saw her period in July. If yours
is 28, then its 14 days and not 15 days and if you are in a 26 days cycle its 12days.

HOW TO SELECT YOUR BABY'S SEX.

■Sperm cells are either X or Y. The Egg cell is always X.

■ If X-Sperm cell meets the egg(X) the baby will be a Girl (XX).

■ If Y-Sperm cell meets the egg(X), the baby will be a Boy (XY).

■The Y-Sperm cells move fast but die fast (its lifespan is about 24hrs).

■X-Sperm cells move slowly but survive longer (up to 3-4days).

■Therefore, if you have intercourse some days before ovulation, most of the Y-Sperm cells would have
died leaving mostly X-Sperm cells to fertilize the egg, and if the egg is fertilized, the end result will be a
baby girl.

How to prevent your baby from the risk of having birth defect.

The common congenital defect in babies is spina bifida, this occurs when the spine which is a part of the
spinal cord fails to develop or close properly while in the womb.

This can be avoided by having enough folic acid in your body system by the early weeks of pregnancy.
Many women don’t discover that they are pregnant on time so it is advisable if you are trying to
conceive to take daily supplement of folic acid.

How to prevent your baby from having jaundice

Jaundice is a liver condition that causes yellowing of a newborn baby’s skin and eyes.

Neonatal jaundice is common in preterm babies. The cause is often an immature liver. When jaundice is
goes untreated for too long, it can cause brain damage, cerebral palsy and also hearing loss to the baby.

A healthy diet filled with green leafy vegetables can help prevent jaundice. Excessive amounts of
caffeine and sugar can affect your liver and cause jaundice.

To prevent jaundice naturally during pregnancy,

Get an unripe pineapple

Wash and cut into pieces

Soak them in clean water for 24 hours

After 24 hours, sieve and drink the water.

This will also help to clean the baby’s skin too.

All the best in your pregnancy journey
