About Fertility for Women under 35
Many factors influence your chances of conception, including age, general health and stress levels, as well as sperm and egg quality. The more you are in balance in mind, body and spirit, the greater your chance of conception and the healthier your baby is likely to be.
In an ideal world this balance happens naturally. However, inadequate diet, intensive food production and processing and the demands of job, travel and family, may mean that our nutritional needs are not met adequately all of the time. We recommend that all our clients increase their intake of important nutrients during the pre-conception phase, if only as an insurance policy.
Recommended supplements
To support the nutritional requirements of the body during pre-conception we would recommend including a wide ranging multivitamin, an anti-oxidant formula and build your stores of DHA and EPA Omega 3. We would therefore recommend the following:

Recommended tests
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is active in the ovaries and it is thought that it plays a crucial role in the correct maturation of a woman’s eggs.
Fertility AMH Home Test Kit
Many women undertake a Fertility Test to assess whether they should begin trying for a baby sooner rather than later or whether they are OK to wait until later. The Zita West AMH Home test kit is a simple to use pin-prick based home collection kit. As the result may not always be what you were hoping for our kit comes with a Free consultation to help interpret the results and if necessary help to develop an action plan to give yourself the best chance of conceiving.

Nutrition consultation
Supplements can help to ensure that you meet the nutritional needs of your body for fertility and pregnancy, which are very different from its everyday needs, but they’re not a substitute for a healthy diet tailored to your individual needs. A greater understanding of both the female and male body’s needs for fertility can boost egg and sperm health significantly, reducing the risk of miscarriage as well the time it takes to conceive. Many people find it difficult to access the right dietary information and often place themselves on unhealthy regimes. Our nutritionists are experts in the field of fertility and will advise you on exactly what measures you can take to improve your chances of achieving a healthy pregnancy. Many find that just a few tweaks to their normal eating and lifestyle habits are what is needed to make that extra difference.
Consultations last 60 minutes and can be carried out in person or by Skype. If you want to come as a couple we also offer a 90 minute consultation.
