Fertility potential optimization!

Adequate body mass index a must-lose weight: excessive weight means excessive fat cells. Excessive fat cell means excessive estrogen. Too much estrogen is harmful for fertility. 
• if you are underweight, gain weight: being underweight can hamper or even stop your menstrual cycle altogether. 
• give up smoking: smoking has been proven several times to cause infertility problems.
• stop taking birth control: in case of pills or patch, stop 3 months prior and in case of depo-provera, stop at least 9 months prior to trying to conceive. 
• consume prenatal vitamins: taking prenatal vitamins is claimed to increase chances of pregnancy and decrease the chances of premature birth greatly. 
• do yoga: yoga helps counter issues that deplete conception rates such as depression.
•add ons may be of help: apparently, acupuncture is capable of stimulating fertility hormones and blood flow if practiced well. 
• have sex at least once a day: more sex is equal to more chances of conception.
