"Women who want to increase their chances of getting pregnant, often do not know what the best thing to do or what to see," said Francisco Arredondo, MD, reproductive endocrinologist and fertility in San Antonio , Texas. Here are some factors to do (or not) affects a woman's fertility and what you can do about it, if you try to conceive.

Obesity
Carrying around extra pounds can affect hormone production and make it more difficult for a woman to get pregnant, says William Shlaff, MD, Chief of the Department of Gynecology and birth at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia . "The more weight a woman gains for its healthy weight, more likely to experience decreased ovarian function," he said. And a study published in 2009, fertility and infertility have found that women who were overweight at the age of 18, more likely to develop polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and there are problems infertility. PCOS is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age and the leading cause of infertility.

Too thin
Just as excess body fat may impair fertility, so can not say enough. This may be because women who have a very low BMI lacking leptin, a hormone that controls hunger and satiety. With low leptin contributes to the absence of menstruation, according to a 2009 study at Harvard University. "Maintaining a healthy weight is one that falls within the normal BMI, and is achieved through a healthy diet and moderate exercise, is one of the most important things a woman can do to increase their likely to conceive, "says Dr. Arredondo, one who can not imagine a recently developed (free, iTunes) is developing a new application to women to increase their chances of getting pregnant.

Become old
If a woman menopause, usually accomplished in their 40 or 50, it's ovulation and can not get pregnant. But in a decade or two before menopause officially occurs, it can cause fertility problems, so you ovulate less regularly and count the eggs from which today is known as perimenopause.

There is no official age when fertility starts to fall, but many doctors say it is often more difficult to get pregnant after age 35. It is different for every woman to get so; some may pass before perimenopause, while others remain fertile throughout their 40 years. Therefore, according to Dr. Shlaff, it is important for women of all ages, design issues can be seen to a specialist sooner rather than later.
