Getting Pregnant with Feng Shui — Myth, Miracles or Reality?

By Lim Cheng Uo

Albert Einstein once said: “The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer marvel is as good as dead and his eyes are dimmed.”

Yes, human world is full of mysterious events. Some happenings can be easily explained and understood but some need further knowledge to uncover the principles behind.

The most common happening among the Chinese society is for the childless couple to adopt a child so that this child could induce the mother to give birth to more siblings. In most cases, it works! The child is used as catalyst to increase the rate of reproduction. This century old practice has been going on till today. There are many explanations toward this happening but one thing for sure is that it is the mind set that influences the biological body to accomplish certain jobs that are difficult or unlikely before.

The idea that the mind can influence and actually mold the biological body to a certain degree is not new. There is a Biblical storey in Genesis that illustrates this point. This concerns the manner in which Jacob was able to successfully build up his own flock. Jacob has been working for his father-in-law, Laban, for approximately twenty years and yearned to establish himself financially. An agreement was made between Laban and Jacob that all goats born speckled, spotted and striped, and all lambs born black would belong to Jacob. Laban, being shrew businessman, that same day removed all the male goats that were streaked or spotted, and all the speckled or spotted female goats (all that had white on them), including all the dark-colour lambs. Genetically, it would be very difficult, if not unlikely, to breed the types of goats and lambs promised to him.

Jacob, through divine guidance, “took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches. Then he placed the peeled branches in all the watering troughs, so that they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat and came to drink, they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted” (Genesis 30:37-39). In this way, Jacob became very prosperous. As to the outcome concerning the black lambs, the Holy Bible was not clear about it.

From this story, it becomes clear that what we see, feel, and think can influence the biological body. In a more specific term, the environment influences our mind and action resulting in the type of product we are to produce. This is what feng shui can do for you. Experienced and qualify Feng shui master will able to set up a scenario which is conducive for those unable to conceive to accomplish that objective by removing the stress and negative emotions stored in the body that creates blockages in the body reproductive system. Feng shui healing is not intended to replace orthodox medicine, but rather to complement it.

Before I penned off let me quote the great saying of Master K.S Choa.
“An intelligent person is not closed-minded. He does not behave like an ostrich burying his head in the ground trying to avoid new ideas and developments,
An intelligent person is not gullible. He does not accept ideas blindly.
He studies and digests them thoroughly, then evaluates them against his reason; he tests these new ideas and developments through experiments and his experiences.
An intelligent person studies these ideas with a clear objective mind”

Well! If you are unable to conceive and having problem to get pregnant naturally, why not give it a try by consulting your feng shui master. Remember: Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only to that which is known to us in nature.

Eliminating One Thing From Your Life May Be All That Stands Between You and Getting Pregnant

By Cory Jean

For most married couples there is nothing quite as important as having a child together. Both husband and wife have dreamed of the day that they are in a loving married relationship and then proudly announced to friends and family that they are pregnant and will be expecting a baby. Each of us has daydreamed of the day when our lives will change forever and entertained thoughts of what it will be like to have a little boy or girl that shares our name…our home…our lives.

For many of us though, what happens most naturally for many other couples doesn’t come quite so easily. I know that for my wife and I, we wondered what the problem might be and the unspoken question for months was whether or not we would ever have a child together. My wife began reading up on how to become pregnant and we began to schedule work around when she was most likely to become pregnant and a thermometer and a notebook became my wife’s best friend for months…but still she never became pregnant.

My poor wife was frustrated and began to feel like a failure as a wife and a woman. She wondered why it was that so many other women in the world became pregnant even when they didn’t want to, yet she couldn’t even though there was nothing that she wanted more in this world than to be pregnant and be a mother. We discussed adopting and invetro fertilization and consulted with doctors and friends who had gone both routes. Carefully we weighed the pros and cons and listened to my wife’s doctor’s advice who said for us to give it a year.

My wife read up on tips, tricks and even wives tales for how to become pregnant. She changed her diet so as to avoid foods that might be causing issues in her body and became a health food nut. We tried different ways of “making a baby” in hopes of success. I was given boxer shorts to wear or told to wear “nothing at all” for the sake of helping her to become pregnant.

For my wife and me, success came and she became pregnant when we were least expecting it and stress was removed from her life. My wife leads a very hectic life during the school year since she is a school teacher and it was during summer vacation while she was occupied with other things that she realized that she might be pregnant. She hadn’t been keeping track of things in her notebook and had been simply having fun over the summer doing some volunteer work when she realized that she was pregnant.

Perhaps you wives out there could use this very informative article to convince your husbands to let you take the summer off! It is worth a try, right? The point is that for us, it was the stress of work and I believe the pressure that my wife was putting on herself to become pregnant that was the issue. Try eliminating some stress from your life or perhaps go away on a “baby making vacation” before jumping to conclusions and feeling that you will never become pregnant. This might be all that it takes!

Natural Ways to Get Pregnant – Find Out What You Can Do to Increase Your Chances of Getting Pregnant

By Carolyn Anderson

Getting pregnant seems to be very simple for some while some may be trying very hard to be one. If you are one of those who want the natural ways to get pregnant, do not lose hope. There are still options for you to have a baby.

The natural ways to get pregnant require an understanding on how your reproductive cycle works and timing is important. It is also important to note that getting pregnant naturally may be a cheaper option to conceive but it also needs time and attention to achieve success with it.

Understanding when you are most fertile is essential in achieving success in getting pregnant. Each month, an egg is released from the ovary to prepare for a possible fertilization, and it is this time that conception can occur when a man’s sperm swims into the uterus to meet with the egg – and this is the period that you should be paying attention to.

Proper Timing of Sexual Intercourse

If you have regular menstrual cycle of 28 days, the release of the egg in the ovaries or the ovulation usually starts 14 days after the start of your last period. This is your most fertile period and having sex at this period will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Timing may however be difficult if you have an irregular menstrual cycle.

Getting your basal body temperature can also be a way to determine if you are ovulating, as there will be a slight increase in your body temperature when ovulation begins. You can also detect ovulation by the nature of the cervical mucus. When there is increases cervical mucus and it becomes clear and has similar consistency with an egg white, it could be a sign of your fertile period. A more convenient ovulation predictor kit can also be purchased to conveniently determine your fertile days.

Maintaining Proper Weight

Your weight can also be a factor in your likelihood to get pregnant easily. If you are overweight, it may cause problems with your ovulation and thus resulting to infertility. If you are also underweight, it can also lead to skips in your menstrual period which is also a problem in your being fertile. Maintaining a proper body weight is indeed important if you want to conceive naturally.

Having a Healthy Lifestyle

Aside from maintaining the proper body weight, one of the natural ways to get pregnant is to improve your fertility by having proper nutrition. A healthy diet, good exercise and managing stress are essential in achieving a healthy body that maximizes your fertility. Avoid caffeine as it can also affect your fertility. Smoking and alcohol may not only decrease your chances of conceiving but can also cause birth defects if you eventually become pregnant.

Choosing a sex position

For some couples, sex position matters when you are trying to conceive. Helping the sperm reach the cervix could also be a factor in getting pregnant. Sex positions with the woman on top may be giving the sperm a hard time to travel to the cervix, as well as sitting or standing positions. Elevating your hips with a pillow underneath also helped some couples.

The natural ways to get pregnant may seem so simple but sometimes there are infertility issues that we may never have known. If you have been trying to get pregnant for about a year you can also opt to consult your Ob-gyne for other possible factors that hinder your pregnancy.

Ways to Improve Fertility – Other Natural Fertility Options to Increase Chances of Getting Pregnant

By Carolyn Anderson

For some, getting pregnant is easy and for some, it could be a frustrating journey. If you are one of those who are still trying to get pregnant, you may have been gone through some ways to improve fertility. Aside from monitoring your basal body temperature or checking your fertility period, you may also want to check some other factors that could help in increasing your chances of getting pregnant.

Below are other natural methods that may work for you as effective ways to improve fertility.

* Lifestyle. If you have been trying to get pregnant and haven’t yet succeeded, you may want to check your lifestyle. If you love partying and alcoholic drinks, you may be decreasing your chances of getting pregnant. If you are on a chronic diet, you may also be making it more difficult. A simple change in your lifestyle may be one of the ways to improve fertility and you have to start now.

* Environmental hazards. If you are exposed to chemical hazards or toxic substances at work, you may also be decreasing your chances of conception, especially if you are exposed to these substances regularly. Find out ways to deal with your work environment and check with your doctor about how these hazards are affecting your fertility.

* Positive thinking. Sometimes the longer you wait to get pregnant, the more you develop feelings of frustration, sadness, depression and negative thoughts. These negative emotions and thoughts will most likely give you more difficulty in getting pregnant. Getting yourself into so much emotional stress can greatly affect your reproductive cycle and eventually give you fertility problems. Practicing positive thinking, although it may not directly give you that boost of fertility, could be a good way to free yourself from the emotional stress that your situation is causing you.

* Hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy has been an option for some as one of the natural ways to improve fertility with the use of hot and cold water. This is an ancient practice which is used in treating many diseases and illnesses and has now become an alternative treatment for infertility. The process is said to reduce stress and depression, increase blood circulation as well as help in the proper functioning of the reproductive system.

* Fertility yoga. Fertility yoga is a yoga session but is designed to energize and improve your reproductive health as well as you partner’s. The session will also help promote your overall health while improving your blood circulation that is important in improving your fertility.

* Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is also used for some in assisting the body to perform better – like promoting a better reproductive cycle as well as eliminating stress and depression from the body

* Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke. It is very important that you quit smoking or get away from too much exposure to secondhand smoke if you want to get pregnant. Not only will this decrease your fertility, it is also responsible for many miscarriages and birth defects in a baby.

Indeed, many other natural ways to improve fertility are available as options in increasing chances to get pregnant. If all else fails, still think positive. Most of these techniques are not just for improving fertility, it also promotes your overall health.

Fibroids and Pregnancy – Getting Pregnant With Fibroids

By Bernadette Hopkins

If you are thinking about having a baby, you are no doubt excited about the prospect of becoming a parent. However, if you have fibroids, you may be wondering about the connection between fibroids and pregnancy.

Getting pregnant with fibroids is often not as big an issue as many women imagine it to be. Indeed, most women go on to have normal conceptions, pregnancies and deliveries. However, there are potential problems at each step and it is important that you are aware of what the issues are.

If you are worried about fibroids and pregnancy, one of the possible problems which can occur is a blockage of the fallopian tube or cervix. Even small fibroids which just happen to develop at the entrance of either of these structures can block the passage of sperm, causing infertility. Another possible problem relates to submucosal fibroids. If larger fibroids develop just beneath the womb lining, they can distort the uterine cavity and, in some cases, stop implantation of a fertilized egg.

Later in pregnancy, occasionally larger fibroids can cause the baby to be born a little early, but this is not usually a problem. If fibroids are situated lower down in the uterus, the can obstruct delivery, so a cesarean may be required.

Fibroids are undoubtedly a sign that something is wrong within the body. Fibroids and pregnancy are not the ideal mix, therefore if you are aware that you have fibroids before conception, it makes perfect sense to try to get rid of them if at all possible as a fibroid-free pregnancy is best for both mother and baby. Surgery and drug treatments are not always the best treatment for fibroids and with the prospect of a forthcoming pregnancy, neither of these options are suitable.

Many women get their bodies ready for pregnancy by eating healthier, doing more exercise, having health checks and perhaps taking appropriate vitamin and mineral supplements. Taking steps to shrink your fibroids to minimize the possibility of fibroids having any possible negative impact makes perfect sense.

Fibroids are a condition which respond very well to natural remedies and they are an ideal condition to treat because as they are so rarely life-threatening. It makes complete sense to try out a natural treatment for fibroids before resorting to surgery or any of the hormonal drugs which can cause their own side effects. In the case of pregnancy, most women want to ensure that they are giving themselves and their baby the best possible chances and naturally, a fibroid-free environment is best for both.

Getting Pregnant Over 40 – it is Not Impossible

By Toni Bostrom

What people must know is that getting pregnant over 40 is very much possible and it is just the same as getting pregnant at any other age bracket. Therefore, women in their 40s who want to get pregnant should be encouraged and supported instead of being threatened about old wives’ tales that are simply not true.

If you are over 40 and you want to get pregnant, the last thing that you need is to listen or read about the many negative beliefs about getting pregnant over 40. Being afraid and stressed with all the unpleasant stories will not help your pregnancy one bit. Instead, inform yourself about scientific facts about pregnancy in general that will help you take care of yourself and succeed with your goal to have a baby.

Pregnant women over 40 have basically the same requirements as younger pregnant women. The first thing that pregnant women should watch out for is their diets. They must maintain a healthy diet in order to keep their weight at a manageable level. Pregnancy complications are more common among overweight women than those with normal weight. It is also advisable that pregnant women drink plenty of water.

Apart from physical health, mental health should also be taken cared of by pregnant women. They should keep themselves relaxed and stress-free all the time. They can do this by listening to calming music, reading a good book or by meditation. Most importantly though, pregnant women must always keep a positive mental attitude about their pregnancy.

Remember, getting pregnant 40 is possible and should be encouraged. People should change their attitude towards getting pregnant over 40.

Fertility Charting & Getting Pregnant

By Jane N.

While many women suffer from fertility problems, few actually understand their bodies and their cycles. In fact, the key to a better chance of fertility is in knowing and understanding your cycle. Fertility charting is the easiest and the most effective way to track your cycle, and to know when your best chances for conception are on the calendar. Fertility charting can also help women avoid conceiving naturally, without the use of hormonal birth control or other contraceptives.

There are a two tools that you will need for fertility charting. The first, and most important, is a simple menstrual cycle chart. You can find a paper version at your local drug store to carry with you, but most women are now opting to use an online cycle chart. Many websites offer additional resources to help you chart your past ovulation dates and predict future ones, and track your conception success rate. The second is a basic basal thermometer, which can also be found at any drug store or pharmacy department.

To begin, you need to start your charting with an accurate reading of your basal temperature, also known as your base temp. To do so, you will need to get a full night of sleep, at least 8 hours, and uninterrupted. Keep the thermometer, and a pen and notebook by your bed – you will want to record your base temperature first thing in the morning, as soon as you wake up. Basal thermometers are more accurate than traditional thermometers, so it could take a few minutes before you receive an accurate reading. When the thermometer beeps, you will have your base temp. You’ll want to record this immediately so you don’t forget it, right down to the tenth degree.

When you have your base temp, record it on your fertility chart. Most online charts offer a section for you to record this for that day to keep track of the changes. You’ll also want to take note of your mood, any aches or pains, including headaches, and other information you think may be relevant. This should also be included in your fertility charting. As you progress, you’ll begin to notice a pattern in your cycle.

When you get closer to ovulation, you will notice that your base temperature rises. If you are using home ovulation tests for tracking purposes, you can pinpoint exactly when your ovulation occurs. Include this in your fertility charting, and you will be able to accurately see when your next ovulation is most likely to occur, and when your least fertile days are during the month.

Common Causes of Female Infertility – Getting Pregnant Tips

By Jane N.

Female infertility refers to the difficulty or inability of a woman to conceive a child on her own without medication or fertility treatments. Female infertility is relatively common, and becomes more prevalent as the age of the woman increases. Some infertility issues can be resolved with a change in lifestyle or medications, while other issues are permanent and another option, such as in vitro fertilization, may be necessary to achieve conception.

Common Reasons For Female Infertility

One of the most common factors for female infertility is age. Women are at their peak for conceiving a child between the ages of 18 and 27. After the age of 27, fertility begins to decline slowly until the age of 35, when fertility drops drastically. As a woman reaches her late 40s to early 50s, fertility becomes near impossible due to age alone, as the body can no longer easily support a healthy pregnancy to term.

Thrombophilia is also a major reason for infertility issues. Thrombophilia is an abnormality in individuals that prevents them from developing blood clots. The disorder is hereditary, and affects as many as 10% of individuals in the country. Because blood is unable to clot, thrombophilia can cause excessive bleeding that does not allow for conception, or does not support a healthy pregnancy and ends in a miscarriage soon after conception.

Female Infertility And Reproductive Organs

Many female infertility issues are directly linked to problems with their reproductive system. Polycystic ovary syndrome, more commonly known as PCOS, is an endocrine disorder that can make it near impossible for sufferers to conceive. About 5% of all women are affected by the disorder, and it is the most common hormonal disorder in women between the ages of 18 and 27, as well as the leading cause of female infertility.

Anovulation is a disorder where the ovaries fail to release an egg during a cycle. Therefore, ovulation never takes place. While this can sometimes be mistaken for the beginning of menopause, anovulatory cycles are very common in women of childbearing age, and is the second cause of female infertility problems due to reproductive issues. Anovulation cannot be cured, but it can be managed with hormonal drugs to keep the cycle normal and to encourage ovulation. Often times, an ovulation will correct itself in spurts, allowing for conception to take place when the disorder is in a period of remission.

Female infertility problems are more common than male fertility problems, but that doesn’t mean that women who suffer with a fertility problem with never be able to conceive. With modern medicine and new technologies being developed every day, women who would have never been able to conceive 20 years ago now have a chance to go on and have two, three, four, or more healthy children in their lifetime. The key is to seek help as soon as you know you have a problem, and learn to manage your disorder and to keep your options open for conception alternatives.
