Welcome to your first step on this exciting journey...
Congratulations! You have taken the first step in starting your fertility journey with DB Pharmaceuticals and your clinic nurse. You may be at a point where you are planning on expanding your family or you may have been trying for a while without any success.
A few things that you need to consider before and after this journey:
- Statistics show that men are equally prone to having infertility issues than what women are. Statistics show that 49% of couples struggling to fall pregnant struggle because of the male factor and not the female factor – this is the case in women 51% of the time. Encourage your male partner to take the journey with you by taking Fertipil Plus for Men.
- One of the most common causes of infertility in men and women is an unhealthy lifestyle which includes an unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol intake and smoking. Try to change your lifestyle so as to include physical exercise, a healthy diet and cut down or cease on smoking and drinking.
- Regardless of any condition that you may have making it difficult for you to fall pregnant your chances always improve significantly if you have sexual intercourse as often as possible. If you then include the above healthy diet and exercise, and you understand what ovulation is and when you are ovulating, you will improve your chances of falling pregnant. Use this ovulation calculator.
- The products that the nurse will recommend to you were developed to improve your chances of falling pregnant naturally. It is essential that you at least take these products as indicated for at least 3 to 6 months.
