Did your school's painfully low-budget mediocre Sex Ed class leave you (too) completely ignorant to your fertility?
I stumbled out of the school's portable terrified (Eeek! The printed images of STDs) and believing pregnancy can happen at any time in my cycle. 👀
False.
It's actually pretty difficult to get pregnant, especially these days as fertility disorders are on the rise. So what do you need to know??
Mother Nature’s natural fertility rate is only 20% per month for a healthy, fertile 30-year-old woman. So for every 100 fertile 30-year-old women trying to get pregnant in one cycle, 20 will be successful and the other 80 will have to try again.
Between 12-13% of women in America ages 15-49 have impaired fecundity, according to the CDC.
Even if you're without any pre-existing health conditions, it's still not so easy. 😳
Not to mention, we’re having babies later, but when it comes to fertility 40 is not the new 30. Biology hasn’t caught up to our lifestyle trends.
The first step is knowing the answer to “when can you get pregnant?” (duh, Laura).
Do you know when those (maaaybe two) days are for you each month?
If not, download this free app now! #game. #changer. I really love it and the company's, Modern Fertility, mission to make understanding your fertility + hormones super simple and easy! (They're Fast Company's #1 Health company for a reason)
Once you know when to try to conceive, it's even more helpful to know the status of THREE very important factors that play a big role in a successful healthy pregnancy.
P.S. - This is good to know even if you're just daydreaming about your future family.
1. Egg Health
2. Sperm Vitality
3. Womb Conditions
While the status of each is easy to test, all three are dependent on environmental + lifestyle choices and in most cases can be improved for your desired outcome before needing to turn to pricy and painful fertility treatments.
With knowledge comes power.
Learn where you stand today when it comes to your fertility.
Take Action. 💪🏼
