Health advice - Fertility

Having babies is great when it’s all going well. But what if you’ve been trying to conceive for a while nothing seems to be happening? The cold fact is that one in four couples are having problems conceiving. The good news is that before you embark on expensive and often invasive investigations or go down the assisted conception route, there are more gentle methods that can help boost your chances of having a baby.

Or you may already have had initial investigations and pinpointed a problem with sperm count or motility, or perhaps discrepancies in hormone levels. This is not the time to start feeling disheartened – you now know what you need to address! There are vast amounts of research showing that addressing your nutrient needs and dealing with any general health issues can make a huge improvement in the quality of the sperm and help balance female hormones.

If you are already planning a treatment cycle of IUI, IVF or ICSI, good nutritional support can make a huge difference to the outcome.  Factors such as your nutrient status, detoxification capacity, alcohol intake and stress levels can all play a part in the final result.  It takes 3 to 4 months for eggs and sperm to mature, so we always recommend you to start the nutrition treatment 3 to 4 months prior to the treatment.  When you are physically in good health you will also find the treatment much less stressful, and increase your likelihood of positive outcome.

Where ever you are in your journey of starting a family, it is important to make your and your partner’s health a priority – it’s how you make healthy babies too.
