Dr. Sumangala P. Beeranur (Gaddi) is a Fertility Expert and Fetal Medicine Specialist in Hubballi whose clinical work focuses on infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, pregnancy planning, fetal medicine and high-risk pregnancy care.
Here are seven evidence-based tips for couples planning a pregnancy.
1. Understand Your Fertile Window
The fertile window is approximately the six-day period ending on the day of ovulation. For couples trying naturally, intercourse every one to two days during this period gives a high chance of conception.
Ovulation kits and cervical-mucus tracking may help identify fertile days, although cycle-tracking apps are not always precise.
2. Do Not Wait Too Long for Fertility Evaluation
Age is an important factor in fertility.
ASRM recommends considering infertility evaluation after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse for women under 35, and after 6 months for women aged 35 or older. Earlier evaluation may be appropriate for irregular periods, suspected endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss or known fertility problems.
Dr. Sumangala's own clinic similarly advises couples with difficulty conceiving, irregular periods, repeated miscarriages or age-related concerns to seek specialist evaluation.
3. Fertility Is a Couple's Issue
Infertility should not automatically be assumed to be a female problem.
A proper fertility evaluation may include assessment of ovulation, the uterus and fallopian tubes, as well as semen analysis of the male partner. ASRM recommends evaluating both partners when applicable.
4. Take Folic Acid Before Pregnancy
Women planning pregnancy are generally advised to take 400 micrograms of folic acid daily to reduce the risk of neural-tube defects in the developing baby.
Individual requirements can differ, so women with medical conditions or previous pregnancy complications should discuss supplementation with their doctor.
5. Avoid Smoking and Recreational Drugs
Smoking has a significant negative association with female fertility and is also linked with a higher risk of miscarriage. ASRM recommends discouraging smoking and recreational drug use in both partners while trying to conceive.
Healthy lifestyle habits are important for both reproductive and overall health.
6. Do Not Depend on “Fertility Foods” or Online Remedies
There is no strong evidence that one special diet, supplement, herbal product or specific food can guarantee natural conception.
ASRM notes that evidence for specific diets improving natural fertility is limited, although a generally healthy lifestyle and balanced nutrition remain beneficial for overall health.
Avoid taking fertility medicines or hormonal supplements without specialist guidance.
7. Repeated Miscarriage Deserves Specialist Attention
Recurrent pregnancy loss can have several possible causes and should not simply be accepted without evaluation.
Dr. Sumangala's clinical interests specifically include recurrent pregnancy loss, fetal medicine, prenatal diagnosis and high-risk pregnancy management, allowing fertility planning to continue into specialised pregnancy monitoring when required.
