Want To Get Pregnant Fast? Make These Lifestyle Changes!
If you want to fall pregnant fast, you need to manage your lifestyle choices for better health. Couples struggling to conceive are often dealing not only with medical conditions but also with preventable lifestyle-related diseases. Recognising these risks early and seeking expert help from a fertility specialist when necessary can make all the difference.

Globally, each year, poor health caused by pollution, unhealthy diets, stress, and lifestyle diseases contributes to millions of preventable deaths, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
These same factors play a major role in infertility, with conditions such as insulin resistance, raised prolactin, thyroid problems, and endometriosis being common obstacles to getting pregnant.
Why Health Matters For Fertility
Healthy embryos – eggs fertilised by sperm – are essential for pregnancy. But this is only possible if both the eggs and the sperm are healthy. Lifestyle diseases, together with poor lifestyle choices, affect this delicate process and make conceiving more difficult.
Lifestyle Challenges Facing Couples
In South Africa, about one in six couples faces infertility. For some, the cause is structural, like blocked fallopian tubes or ejaculation problems.
But for many others, lifestyle-related issues are the root of the problem.
Autoimmune disorders such as hyperinsulinemia and hyperprolactinemia can disrupt hormone levels, lower the quality of sperm and eggs, and impair the womb’s ability to support an embryo.
For example, excess insulin can alter normal eggs and sperm into abnormal ones, while raised prolactin interferes with critical fertility hormones (FSH and LH) and the uterine lining. Unless treated, these factors can prevent you from getting pregnant.
At Medfem Fertility Clinic, we routinely test both partners for these issues and provide targeted treatment before starting fertility therapy. Patients are also guided to adjust their diet and lifestyle to give them the highest chance of success.
Key Lifestyle Changes To Improve Your Chances
Because lifestyle diseases often stem from everyday choices around diet, exercise, stress, alcohol, and smoking, making changes in these areas is a powerful step towards improving fertility.
- Quit smoking and alcohol: Both substances damage egg and sperm quality, lowering the likelihood of conception.
- Maintain a healthy weight with regular, moderate exercise: as both being overweight or underweight can negatively affect fertility. Losing even a small percentage of weight can improve ovulation for many women.
- Eat for fertility: A balanced diet rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids supports reproductive health. Excess carbohydrates and poor nutrition, even in couples who are not overweight, can interfere with fertility.
- Add supplements wisely: Modern lifestyles make it difficult to get every nutrient from food alone. That’s why fertility experts recommend specific supplements such as StaminoGro, known to support egg and sperm health.
- Manage stress: Stress plays a major role in infertility. Addressing stress levels and adopting mindfulness or relaxation techniques can significantly improve the chances of conception.
- Healthy habits: Stay hydrated and flush toxins by drinking plenty of water. Get adequate sleep, aiming for 7-8 hours a night. Avoid harmful chemicals in household products, pesticides, and plastics.
