It all begins with an egg. If you’re starting preconception care we’d love to be part of your fertility journey.
We’re here to help you optimise your fertility potential, and become a parent!
What you eat in the months leading up to conception can have a profound impact on your fertility, increase the chance of a feel-good pregnancy, and drastically improve your child’s future health.
For example, did you know:
Your body requires enough zinc at specific times of your cycle to enable your egg cells to divide and be fertilized.
Too much or too little folic acid is associated with increased risks of autism.
Inadequate or excessive vitamin K, calcium and iron intakes can increase risk of pre-eclampsia, hyperemesis gravidarum, and gestational diabetes.
Just five dietary changes can boost your fertility by 69%.
The amount of alcohol a father drinks prior to conception can increase their child’s risk of anxiety and depression later in life.
During a consultation you will learn many other important factors.
It takes around 90 days prior to conception for both an egg and sperm to mature.
Therefore, we recommend meeting with your fertility expert as soon as you begin to think about starting a family. Your consultation will identify gaps in your nutrition to:
Optimise egg health
Improve the structure of your endometrial lining.
Help regulate ovulation cycles affected by weight
Improve the success of Assisted Reproduction Therapies
Optimise the chances of conception
Balance hormones
Reduce the risk of miscarriage
Minimise the time it takes to conceive
Create the healthiest possible environment for a baby’s development
We also have tools to improve sperm quality, count and motility.
