Fertility is not just about timing. It’s a reflection of overall health.
Why preparation matters
The 90 days before conception are critical.
This is the timeframe in which:
-
Eggs mature
-
Sperm develop
What happens during this window directly impacts outcomes.
Key factors affecting fertility
Fertility can be influenced by:
-
Hormonal balance
-
Cycle regularity and ovulation
-
Sperm quality
-
Thyroid function
-
Insulin sensitivity
-
Inflammation and stress
Common roadblocks
Some of the most common include:
-
Irregular cycles
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
High stress levels
-
Environmental exposures
Why a prenatal isn’t enough
While important, a prenatal vitamin alone does not address:
-
Egg quality
-
Sperm health
-
Metabolic function
This is where targeted, individualised support becomes important.
The takeaway
Fertility is a whole-body process. When you support the foundations, outcomes improve.
