Consistency

Prenatal Vitamin
Women who are attempting to conceive must start taking prenatal vitamins before becoming pregnant to improve the chances of pregnancy.
It is also important to curb your smoking and drinking habits to increase the chances of pregnancy. Smoking and drinking are known to cause fertility problems in both women and men. Chemicals like nicotine and carbon monoxide are known to impact the reproductive system.
