What is preconception care?
Preconception care is preparing both partners' health before trying to conceive or starting IVF. Eggs mature over about three months and sperm over ten to twelve weeks, so that window is when nutrition, hormones, thyroid, blood sugar, sleep and exposures can be assessed and supported.
WHAT IT CAN LOOK LIKE
When you want to give it every chance.
Eggs and sperm mature over roughly three months. That window is one of the most useful times to prepare.
Trying for longer than you hoped
Preparing for IVF or a transfer

HOW I WORK WITH FERTILITY AND PRECONCEPTION
Read the pattern. Restore the balance.
Your symptoms are how your body asks for what it needs. I read the pattern behind them, then choose herbs and nutrients the same way: matched to that pattern, to ease the disharmony, calm the nervous system and rebuild your reserves, so your body can come back into balance and heal.
01
Read the pattern
Both partners' bloods read through Endobiogeny, with cycle tracking, thyroid, iron and DUTCH where it helps.
02
Calm the nervous system
Trying to conceive is stressful, and the stress response shapes ovulation. Support for it belongs in the plan.
03
Ease the disharmony
Herbs and nutrients matched to your pattern over the three months that shape egg and sperm quality, adjusted around IVF with your specialist.
04
Build reserves
Nourishment, blood sugar, sleep and fewer exposures, so the body has what it needs to carry a pregnancy.
WHAT TO TEST
The results that change the plan.
Both partners are tested, because both shape the outcome.
Hormones across the cycle
Including progesterone after ovulation.
Thyroid panel
Even mild changes matter for conception.
Iron, B12, folate and vitamin D
The nutrients pregnancy draws on first.
Blood sugar and insulin
Especially with PCOS.
Semen analysis
For the male partner, through your GP.
