Improve Your Egg Quality with PCOS – Do This 3 Things

Women with PCOS face some difficulty while trying to conceive, This is because over 80% of them either have no periods or irregular periods while the remaining few percentages that ovulate still need to increase ovulation with the help of a fertility booster.

Most of the eggs produced by women with PCOS are abnormal (aneuploidy) possibly as a result of its overexposure to male hormones such as testosterone. Such an egg is not suitable for fertilization and results in miscarriage. We’ll be looking at the best three ways in which you can improve egg quality with PCOS.

You can improve egg quality by

1)  Improving your mitochondrial function

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cells and the egg cell has more mitochondria than any other cell in the body. It requires a lot of energy for an egg to be fertilized, implant, and also grow into a baby and that is why mitochondria are highly needed when trying to conceive.

Tips to protect your mitochondria

• Eat foods like salmon, pasture-raised eggs, grass-fed beef, and dark, leafy green vegetable are some of the best sources of life-giving nutrients for your egg and baby.
• Stick to freshly prepared foods at home rather than ordering foods with numerous, unknown, and likely harmful ingredients.
• Avoid sugar, alcohol, fried foods, and processed foods, They can damage mitochondria and cause premature aging of the egg cells.

2)  Focusing on sleep and melatonin production

In the same way, sleep is important for good health, so it is when trying to get pregnant.

Melatonin is known as a sleep hormone that rises at night while sleeping. Melatonin helps the reproductive cycle. It:

• Acts as an antioxidant within the egg cell to improve egg quality.
• Acts as a signaling molecule in the brain, controlling reproductive hormone rhythm.
• Acts within the uterus, protecting the embryo and facilitating implantation.

Sleeping tips you need for optimal fertility benefits

• Consistency: Sleep around the same time every night before 9 pm as this is when melatonin levels begin to rise.
• Quantity: Get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep at night to get enough rest.

3)  Avoiding toxicants

On a daily basis, we are exposed to endocrine disruptors ( a substance that you take into your body and modifies the way your natural hormones work) examples are BPA, phthalates, dioxins, and genistein. These substances can alter your reproductive hormones and reduce your ability to get pregnant.

You can increase your chances of conception by limiting your exposure to these chemicals by

• Replacing plastic containers like water bottles, cups, and plates with glass or stainless steel. BPA and BPS can leach from plastic containers especially if their content is hot.
• Sticking to fresh and frozen vegetables, instead of canned foods and condiments which are another big source of BPA in the human diet.
• Reducing the number of chemicals absorbed through your skin by using more natural personal care products.
• Look for terms such as dibutyl phthalate, butyl benzyl phthalate, DEP, DBP, DEHP, and fragrance in cosmetics, lotions, hair care products, nail polish, and shampoo. Try to avoid them as well.
