Ovulation is one the important terminologies in the female reproductive health, every female partner trying to conceive must be very familiar with “the Big O” for a fast conception.

What actually is this Ovulation?

Ovulation is the release of a fully matured egg (or ovum) from the ovary of a healthy and fertile female couple; which occurs when the Graafian follicle of a reproductive functional woman ruptures and releases an egg in the fallopian tubes, for the male sperm to fertilize.

As a woman, to achieve pregnancy there is a need for you to understand the biology and dynamics of your body, especially the basics of your reproductive health systems, which is primarily the reason I gave away the Fertility 101 eBook for free to enable you to understand the workings of your fertility health. This will in so many ways help to short-circuit your period of trying to Conceive and thus increase your chances of conception.

What are the Ways to Promote a Regular Ovulation?

Reducing Stress:

In my previous articles, I dedicated an entire page on the effects of stress on your fertility health. For a couple trying to conceive getting stress out your life should be your primary motive because stress-induced infertility is difficult to even diagnose medically.

Also, stress inhibits your reproductive hormones from performing their usual routine tasks, thereby preventing you from ovulating cyclically; and denying you the full rights of motherhood.


Diet & Whole Foods:

From research, it’s been found that eating fertility foods are one of the most supportive ways to boost a regular ovulation. Foods that will help boost your ovarian health should be rich in vitamin D, B12, B6, Iron and Essential fatty acids. And you can obtain them from the following food sources listed below:

Green vegetables
Fruits
Whole grain
Moderate amount of lean meats
Seafoods
Nuts etc
Seeds and healthy fats etc.


Exercise & Fertility Massage:

Exercise also supports fertility and ovulation, such exercises that you should be familiar with are yoga, fertility massage; aerobic exercises, to perform for at least 30 minutes duration three times a week.

Note also that exercise also helps to optimize your Body Mass Index (total body fat) if you are on the weighty side, and also physiologically increasing the sensitivity of your body cells to insulin hormone absorption and metabolism of energy.

On the other hand, fertility massage which is a very effective therapy and exercise has been shown to offer tremendous results in unblocking obstructed Fallopian tubes and shrinking tumours in the pelvic organs of a woman.


Herbal Therapy:

Herbal therapy has consistently shown effectiveness and reliance in restoring fertility and curing a lot of fertility-related issues in men and women seeking for the fruit of the womb.

For instance, for a woman with Hormonal Imbalance condition, herbal therapy will support her ovarian health by first restoring hormonal balances and hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis function, by so doing creating spontaneity and balance in the process. The testimonials from the herbal therapies have been amazing in this regards, and should be considered as part of your overall ovarian health supportive therapy.

The Following Herbal Supplements Have Been Found to be Effective in Promoting a Regular Ovulation:

Vitex: Helps to support the body’s naturally ability to produce hormones (luteinizing hormone) that support ovulation.
Tribulus: Has been found to promote ovulation when used before you go into ovulation.
Saw Palmetto: Helps to stimulate ovulation in women with ovarian cysts and restores hormonal balance.
Maca: Helps to reverse hormonal imbalance; nourishes the endocrine system and even increases stamina and energy.
Dong Quai: Is rich in Iron and helps to increase blood circulation to the uterus; toning the womb and also helps to regulate reproductive hormones.


Acupuncture:

Acupuncture is a form of ancient Chinese medicine therapy used many centuries ago for healing the body from myriads of fertility-related conditions and also for achieving overall wellness.

Acupuncture, a holistic health approach works by the insertion of sterile thin needles into certain locations in the body called the Meridian channels and by stimulating these locations in the body it is believed this brings therapeutic benefits to the body, and restores hormonal balances in people suffering from anovulation and infertility, thereby helping to promote a regular ovulation.
