Approaching Fertility Naturally
by Lori Ramsey
In the twenty-first century the term “infertility” is very
prevalent. In the modern countries of the world, there are more women now than
ever facing infertility problems (the inability to conceive). More and more
physicians are prescribing drugs like Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) to help women
ovulate. Clomid helps women to ovulate, but the side effects are detrimental to
conception, such as no fertile-quality cervical fluid and unbalanced
reproductive hormones. These drugs, along with the popular use of chemical birth
control (pills, shots and patches) have taken a toll on the reproductive
hormones, and as a result there are more miscarriages and/or infertility among
couples. Conception has taken on more of a “medical” role than a natural role.
The truth is there is a better way of approaching fertility and that is the
natural way.
The female human body is remarkable. We are built to conceive and to give birth.
If we only allow our bodies to do things naturally, and not fill them with
preservatives and chemicals, we wouldn’t have near as many problems in the area
of reproduction. The key to understanding our bodies is through education and
awareness. Don’t just take one persons word or opinion at anything, but research
it out for yourself and take control of your body and your fertility.
I have been promoting natural fertility for several years now after seeing what
the horrible results of taking chemical birth control pills did to my own body.
I began to study about human reproduction and was amazed at how well the body
works, how intricate the hormones are, and how, if they are out of balance the
entire body suffers. I found out through natural means why I had preterm labor
and premature births and why I suffered from early miscarriages.
How did I discover all of this? I learned the art of fertility charting. This
was an eye-opener when I truly put into practice the daily charting of my
fertility signs.
It is possible with just a paper chart and a basal body thermometer to learn how
to pinpoint ovulation and to discover if there may be a problem. It’s also
important to chart the cervical fluid and the cervical position as well as the
basal body temperature. These things may take time to learn to properly identify
the correct procedures and timing. It’s a matter of getting to know your body
and how it works. Give yourself at least three months to learn how to properly
chart your fertility signs and symptoms.
Once you master the fine art of fertility charting, you can then learn to
identify any minor infertility and correct it using natural means such as herbs
and vitamins. It’s really that simple and so often overlooked by the mainstream
medical practices. Learning to effectively chart all your fertility signs can
help you to pinpoint ovulation and become pregnant faster and can help you to
identify minor infertility. It is also the best means of natural birth control.
