Natural fertility and preconception care may assist those who:
- Are already healthy and fertile and would like to provide their baby with the best start in life
- Have experienced trouble conceiving in the past
- Have experienced a miscarriage or recurrent miscarriages
- Older couples wanting to improve their chances of conceiving naturally
- Have a history of pregnancy complications
We recommend that natural fertility and preconception care involves both partners equally as you are both bringing along 50% of the genetics for your unborn child.
Did you know there is research suggesting sperm DNA fragmentation may play a role in recurrent miscarriage? Did you also know that the sperm development and maturation process takes roughly 90 days to complete? This means that men can improve the quality of their sperm and reduce DNA fragmentation in as little as 3 months.
For women, the egg maturation process takes between 3-4 months. Diet and lifestyle interventions as well as carefully prescribed nutrients or herbs during this period can have a significant impact on conception and pregnancy outcomes for both partners.
Therefore we recommend booking your initial consultation at least 4 months prior to conception to achieve the best results.
For women, improving your health prior to falling pregnant can not only help you conceive but can also reduce the risk of complications during your pregnancy.
A preconception plan may include the following:
- weight loss advice (if required)
- dietary advice
- help tracking your cycle and fertile days
- support for any health concerns that may impact fertility or pregnancy
- a tailored supplement plan to assist with fertility and preconception health
- treatment advice for hormonal conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis
- advice on reducing environmental toxin exposure
