* Get into proper shape by exercising and following a proper diet. As it very
important to have a normal hormonal balance for the conception. Being over
weight or under weight could just help your infertility woes.
* Stop Smoking completely. It has been found that smoking cigarette decreases
sperm count in men. Women who smoke could no longer conceive.
* Avoid Alcohol. This too results in low sperm count. And is not good for women
too.
* Best position. It is not sexist, but man on top and womn lying down is the
best position for conception. Once the ejaculation happen, women should lie for
at least 5 minutes in the same position.
* Use of Lubrication. Avoid petroleum jelly, K-Y jelly as these are known as
sperm killers; instead use liquid paraffin which is available with most
chemists.
* You can use egg white as a vaginal lubricant to help your conception process.
The optimum use can be made when the woman is fertile. Do not use it for
treating vaginal dryness. Do not try this if you are allergic to eggs.
* If you are having irregular periods it means you are not ovulating. Consult a
doctor.
* Do not douche as this may not help the conception procedure.
* Keep testicles cool. Avoid tight clothes and close-fitting underwear.
* Abstain for sometime from intercourse so that the sperm count increases. Daily
intercourse can decrease the sperm count.
