Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute is Hawaii’s first IVF clinic. They opened their doors in 1985, and since then, they’ve been helping families grow healthily and happily through infertility treatments in Hawaii. Struggling with infertility can be extremely stressful and trying for a couple. The caring staff at Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute understands that and aims to make every visit to their office welcoming, comfortable, and helpful.

That said, there are things you can try before making an appointment to see a fertility doctor. Often, infertility is tied to stress, diet, and exercise; an alteration in lifestyle may be all you need. Here are three things you can try before seeking infertility treatment options in Hawaii:

• Take Your Vitamins: Vitamin B6 and Zinc are both crucial for fertility and pregnancy. Often, women are vitamin deficient because they have been taking birth control or because they do not have a balanced diet. Taking these supplements, in particular, helps to prepare your uterus for pregnancy.

• Try Acupuncture: Stress can be a major factor in infertility. Stress causes muscles to tense, blood flow to decrease, and hormones to be off-balanced. Acupuncture can both relieve stress, increase blood flow around your uterus and vagina and regulate hormones. It relaxes muscles, relieves tension, and gives you more energy. That increased blood flow benefits your reproductive health overall.
• More Sleep: Getting seven to eight hours of sleep per night has been shown to increase your reproductive health, as well as your overall health. 
• More Water:  Water helps your body function in all of its processes including ovulation, fertilization and pregnancy.  Water helps to keep your uterus health, as well as maintaining a healthy body which will in turn keep your eggs healthy. Drinking lots of water will also increase your cervical mucus, which is important in trying to get pregnant.
