In it, we share practical tips, actionable advice, and important information that can help you get started. Whether you're interested in natural methods, seeking medical support, or just want some extra guidance, we've got something for everyone. Let's take that first step toward your desired pregnancy together!
Nutrition and lifestyle for fertility
At Verloskundigen PuurBegin we understand how important a good diet and lifestyle are to your fertility. A nutritious diet can make a world of difference. Consider adding more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean proteins to your meals. These nutrients are packed with vitamins and minerals that support hormonal balance. Additionally, it is wise to limit your intake of sugar and processed foods.
-
- Vegetables and fruits: Rich in antioxidants that protect the reproductive organs from damage.
-
- Whole grains: Help regulate insulin levels, which can be crucial for the ovulation.
-
- Lean proteins: Support the development of healthy egg cells and sperm.
In addition to nutrition, your overall lifestyle also plays a big role. Regular exercise, for example, can reduce stress, which benefits fertility. However, try to avoid extreme sports, as they can disrupt your hormone balance. Make sure you get enough sleep and try to avoid stress as much as possible. Also consider limiting alcohol and quitting smoking.

| Whole Grains | Regulating insulin levels |
| Lean Proteins | Support of eggs and sperm |
The Importance of Stress Reduction
This will not only help improve your chances of conceiving, but will also contribute to your general well-being. Some useful tips may include:
- Daily Meditation to Calm Your Mind
- Regular exercise that you enjoy
- Healthy food with lots of fresh vegetables and fruit
- Sharing your feelings and concerns with a confidant
- Make time for activities that really make you happy
In addition, if you are experiencing severe stress, it is advisable to consider professional help, such as therapy or counseling.
Don’t be afraid to seek help; it’s an act of self-care. By reducing your stress levels, you’re creating an optimal environment for your body to conceive. The table below provides a quick overview of stress-reducing techniques and their benefits:

Medical attention: When to see a doctor
Sometimes it can be difficult to know exactly when to seek medical help during your journey to motherhood. At Midwives PuurBegin we recommend reaching out to a doctor if you have been with us for more than a year trying to conceive withoutsuccess. Women over 35 should seek help after six months. It's important to act quickly so you get the best support. Here are some signals that you may need to see a doctor:
-
- Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
-
- Common gynecological problems such as endometriosis or PCOS
-
- Known fertility issues with your partner
In addition to the above-mentioned signs, there are other circumstances in which a doctor may be advisable. For example, if you have chronic conditions such as diabetes or thyroid disease? Then it is wise to proactively seek advice. Always remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, not failure!

|---|---|
| Trying for more than a year | Make an appointment with a fertility specialist |
| Chronic health condition | Consult with you GP |
| Known fertility problems | Ask for a referral |
Effective Fertility Treatments

- Improving fertility often starts with lifestyle changes. It's important to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and reduce stress. Making small changes, such as eating foods rich in antioxidants and avoiding harmful substances such as alcohol and nicotine, you will be able to significantly improve your fertility. Don't forget to work together with your partner, because both men and women play an important role in this process. In addition, medical help and technology can provide great support.
