Infertility issues, which seemed so rare 20 years ago, are quite common these days. The most significant factor seems to be the desire couples have to start their families when they're a little older, after they've established themselves in their careers. Clearly this affects a woman's chances of reproducing, since fertility in women declines after age 35. And conception after age 45 is rather rare. Aside from trying to reproduce earlier in her life, there are some surprisingly simple steps a woman can take to increase her likelihood of becoming pregnant. It amazes me (although perhaps it should not) how little emphasis is placed on lifestyle issues and good nutrition by either gynecologists or infertility specialists. In all parts of the world, "wise women" have been using herbs for centuries to help their infertile daughters.

Today, couples who want children spend a lot of time and money at infertility centers. Although the results from these centers can be very gratifying, you might want to start with some simple steps first and see how things go for three or four months. If you're currently in treatment for infertility, you can safely follow our suggestions at WholeHealth Chicago right along with your specialist's recommendations.
