What is

Preconception

When you are considering becoming pregnant or actively trying to conceive, your health is one the most important things to consider! Preconception focuses on the period of time before you conceive. This period of time is crucial to improve your health overall the optimise the best outcomes for you and your baby. You can have a large impact over the health of your pregnancy and baby by laying solid foundations in your health before you even conceive. You have an influence over egg quality, sperm quality and motility, speed of conception, and ability to naturally conceive as well as your baby's development by considering factors like nutritional status, hormonal balance, metabolic health and many other factors! This is everything we can help you with when trying to conceive. 

Symptoms

You may be considering trying to conceive in the near future or be actively trying already. Either way you might not be experiencing any symptoms, but it is important to make sure you are in the best possible health before conceiving.

Things to consider:

  • Reproductive history
  • Hormonal balance
  • Microbiome
  • Metabolic health
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Stress and anxiety 
  • Lifestyle factors impacting fertility 
  • Existing health conditions affecting reproductive health

Treatment options

Comprehensive evaluation of both partners' health, including hormonal balance, nutritional status, and lifestyle factors. We use this to uncover anything that could potentially need addressing before conception, or anything that might compromise optimal fertility and reproductive health. We start by addressing this in each partner if needed. 

We then look at general fertility optimisation for both partners, including egg quality, ovulation and hormonal balance for the woman. And for the male looking at libido, vitality, sperm quality, count and microbiome. 

We look at a nutritional plan to help improve your nutritional status and address any deficiencies. We look at what we need to supplement in order to improve the intake of certain nutrients that are crucial to fertility and pregnancy. We can also use herbal medicine to improve reproductive health.
