Irregular periods manifest in various ways with some women in Kenya, missing them for a few months and others have extended cycles. If your periods are generally irregular, you might experience delayed conception or none at all depending on its severity. Fortunately, the majority of cases can be treated using medication prescribed by a trained doctor. Even so, there are a number of ways that you can make the journey to conception much easier, which include:
Take prescribed medication
Most doctors in Kenya prescribe fertility drugs to women whose menstrual cycle is irregular to help stimulate ovulation. The drugs are usually taken orally and according to a schedule to increase egg production and treat irregular ovulation. It is therefore important to take medication for the set period if you are to see any real changes that will increase your chances of conception.
Avoid stress
Medical professionals believe that the emotional health of women affects their menstrual cycle. Therefore, it is important to be positive during treatment so that the hormones produced are those that help your cycle to remain balanced. It is also advisable to acknowledge that the results of the treatment may take time so that you are not expecting immediate results.
Eat healthily
Eating a healthy diet contributes to the balancing of your hormones so that your chances of conception are much higher. The best foods to include in your diet include protein, fatty acids specifically Omega 3 and healthy beverages. Vitamin D is also important for regulating the menstrual cycle and is introduced in the body through supplements or spending time in the sun.
