When preparing to conceive, there are several important factors to consider. Here are some key tips:

• Age: Fertility declines with age. Couples in their 20s and early 30s have a 25-30% chance of getting pregnant each menstrual cycle, but this decreases over time.
• Lifestyle Habits:
  
  
  • Smoking: Up to 13% of infertility in women is linked to smoking. Quitting is essential for both partners.
  • Alcohol: Avoid alcohol during conception.
  • Caffeine: Limit coffee intake to 1-2 cups (6-8 ounces) per day.
  • Weight: Maintain a healthy weight, as being overweight or underweight can affect fertility.
• Health Checks:
  
  
  • Preconception Visit: Discuss your medical history and any genetic risks.
  • Prenatal Vitamins: Start taking them before conception.
  • Exercise: Establish a regular exercise routine.
  • Mental Health: Prioritize emotional well-being.
    
    
• Unprotected Sex: Have frequent unprotected sex, especially during ovulation.
