What to eat when trying to conceive to increase pregnancy rate

Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
During the preconception period, to increase the chances of conception, it is recommended to regulate the body through both diet and medication. Dietary recommendations include: 1. Foods rich in estrogen: such as soy products (e.g., tofu, soy milk), which help stimulate the secretion of estrogen in women and thereby promote conception. 2. Protein-rich foods: such as seafood (e.g., fish soup), lean meat, eggs, and milk. These can enhance a woman's immunity and resistance, and since protein is a key component of oocytes, they also help improve egg quality. 3. Folate-rich foods: such as vegetables (e.g., spinach, broccoli) and fruits (e.g., grapefruit), which help prevent neural tube defects in fetal development and improve the quality of conception. 4. Other nutrient-rich foods: such as mushrooms (e.g., shiitake mushrooms) and fruits (e.g., apples, bananas), which are rich in vitamins and minerals and benefit overall health and fertility. Medication调理 includes: 1. Taking folic acid supplements under medical guidance to improve the quality of sperm and eggs, facilitating fertilization. 2. If there is ovulatory dysfunction, ovulation-inducing medications such as clomiphene may be used under a doctor’s supervision, but self-medication should be avoided.
