The accumulation of harmful toxins is to be blamed when your body’s functioning gets imbalanced. Same is with infertility in women. However, elimination of ama can support your metabolic processes. It also restores the vitality and balances the Vata Dosha responsible for improving your reproductive health. But, if you’re trying to conceive and still not getting pregnant, here are a few reasons why you’re having trouble getting pregnant.

Possible Reasons You’re Not Getting Pregnant

1. Stress.

Be it about emotional instability or physical stress, excessive pressure can lead to infertility in women. Stress is the foremost issue that can literally be the cause of any illness. It creates an imbalance between the doshas causing several other associated issues.

2. Improper Body Weight.

If you’re trying to conceive, cross out the chances of infertility by maintaining an ideal weight. Underweight women might face amenorrhoea and an otherwise weaker reproductive system whereas obesity disturbs the sex hormone receptor cells.

3. Unhealthy Lifestyle.

Anything that diminishes your Ojas also lowers the overall health. So, if you’re facing any trouble getting pregnant, consider changing your lifestyle. It keeps the hormonal balance in place and also strengthens the body’s natural healing system. This gradually increases the chances of conception.

4. PCOD/ PCOS.

Polycystic Ovarian Disease is one of the most common causes of infertility in women that results in low to no pregnancy chances. An ultrasound apart from the obvious symptoms can confirm whether or not you have PCOS. But, if you do, lose no hope. Ayurveda can help manage PCOD/ PCOS.

5. Lacking Vitamin D.

The sunshine vitamin not only benefits your bone health but, also helps strengthen the reproductive system. It stimulates the sex hormones, reduces the risk of a miscarriage and rules out the causes of infertility in women.

6. Not Understanding The Relation Between Ovulation & Intimacy.

This is one aspect that’s least considered by couples. Getting intimate a day before ovulation is the best time if you’re trying to conceive. So, to avoid having trouble getting pregnant, engage in the act from the 7th day of the last day of your period till the 20th day.

7. Less Sleep.

Sleep deprivation affects your entire system. Not only does it confuse the circadian rhythm but also impacts your reproductive health. You feel more anxious, suffer from insomnia and face trouble getting pregnant.

8. Man Problems.

You may always ask, “why can’t I get pregnant?” But, have you ever considered the fact that one of the top causes of infertility is low sperm count or other man problems. Therefore, if you’re facing trouble getting pregnant, consult a specialist and take the necessary steps.

9. Wrong Dietary Choices.

Not having a proper diet threatens your fertility. Excessive use of artificial sweeteners, trans fats, preservatives, chemical-based food coloring as well as flavoring, carbonated drinks, red meat, tobacco, alcohol and/ or products made with refined flour (maida) are considered harmful in the long run. You must rather include Ojas-building foods like ghee, super seeds, nuts, honey, fresh organic fruits, plant protein and spices such as black cumin, turmeric or carom seeds to boost fertility and help when you’re trying to conceive.
