In the case that the infertility is “unexplained” by anatomical or other causes, couples may benefit from altering their lifestyle and behaviors. For example, couples may engage in timed-intercourse during the period of the highest fertility for the woman. This usually involves using kits that detect the increase of hormones to signify ovulation (luteinizing hormone surge) and helps to predict the days that the woman has the highest fertility.[1]
Lifestyle factors that can help with infertility include stopping smoking and alcohol and substance use, as well as maintaining a healthy weight, since obesity is correlated with a higher risk of infertility.[1]
