We reveal what is really true and which<strong> factors<\/strong> have a <strong>positive influence on your fertility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More intimacy \u2013 greater chances of pregnancy.<\/strong><br>The chances of pregnancy depend on the <strong>fertile days in a woman's cycle<\/strong>, which are concentrated in just <strong>around 6 days around ovulation<\/strong>. Very frequent sexual intercourse can slightly reduce sperm concentration. Regular intercourse every two to three days around the fertile days is optimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A fruit for fertility?<\/strong><br>After ovulation, many women reach for <strong>pineapple<\/strong> in the hope of increasing their chances of a successful pregnancy. The reason for this is the <strong>enzyme bromelain<\/strong> it contains. It has <strong>anti-inflammatory properties <\/strong>and promotes <strong>blood circulation<\/strong>. Effective blood circulation in the uterine lining is considered conducive to embryo implantation. However, <strong>scientific studies <\/strong>show <strong>no medical effect of bromelain on pregnancy<\/strong>. Our conclusion: Fruit is healthy and provides valuable vitamins and minerals that strengthen the body \u2013 but there are no specific types of fruit that promote fertility; a balanced diet remains crucial. Taking vitamins indiscriminately can be of little or no benefit if there is no need for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lubricant prevents sperm from swimming through.<\/strong><br>Conventional lubricants can impair sperm motility. However, there are <strong>specially developed fertility-friendly lubricants<\/strong> that do not interfere with sperm function and are safe to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does carrying a mobile phone in your trouser pocket harm fertility?<\/strong><br>Whether mobile phone radiation actually has a negative impact on sperm quality and motility or affects women's eggs has not yet been conclusively proven. Our tip: keep your mobile phone away from your body as often as possible \u2013 because it's better to be safe than sorry. After all, the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the human body has been studied for a long time, and a possible negative effect cannot be ruled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you been trying <strong>unsuccessfully to conceive for a year<\/strong>? Then we recommend seeking help \u2013 for women over 35, after just six months. In a <strong>non-binding consultation<\/strong>, we will discuss all <strong>possible causes<\/strong> \u2013 and what you can actually do to improve your fertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kinderwunsch-institut.at\/en\/initial-consultation\/\">ARRANGE AN INITIAL CONSULTATION<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-65257_85a1a2-ed .kt-block-spacer{height:60px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-65257_85a1a2-ed .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-65257_85a1a2-ed\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many myths surrounding the desire to have children \u2013 from doing headstands after lovemaking to special diets.
