Our Preconception Fertility Services​

​​

Preconception healthcare is about nurturing your health before pregnancy. It’s not just for moms-to-be; it involves both partners getting healthy to promote strong sperm and egg production while creating a supportive environment for your baby.

​

This approach tackles the root causes of fertility issues, reduces the risk of miscarriage and complications, and enhances treatment outcomes. We start with a comprehensive assessment, covering your health history, lab tests, nutrition & lifestyle.

 

 

100 Days Before Conception​

​

Taking proactive steps in the 100 days leading up to conception can make a real difference.  We work closely with you to ensure that both your body and the essential sperm and egg receive the necessary support while preparing for natural conception, as well as before, during, and after IUI or IVF treatments.

 

Your tailored preconception plan may include:

  • Comprehensive lab and hormone testing

  • Monitoring of bloodwork and ultrasounds

  • Education on environmental exposures

  • Stress reduction techniques to ease anxiety

  • A nutrition and lifestyle plan focused on fertility

  • Evidence-based supplements in therapeutic dosages

  • Nutraceuticals to improve egg and/or sperm quality

  • A personalized strategy to enhance your fertility treatments and address side effects

  • Pre and post-IUI or IVF acupuncture to support implantation and reduce stress

  • And more...

 

 

Why Is Preconception Healthcare Important?

​

The benefits extend beyond just conception. Many individuals face challenges starting a family for various reasons, and infertility can lead to long-term health issues for children. By investing in preconception healthcare, you're not only enhancing your fertility but also giving your baby a healthier start in life.

 

 

When to Start Preconception Healthcare

​

Ideally, start your preconception plan at least three to four months in advance, but it’s never too late. The moment an egg and sperm unite, a blueprint for your baby’s future begins. Since eggs take about 100 days to mature and sperm around 90 days, the health of both parents during this time is crucial.

​

At SweetPea Fertility, our goal is to help you achieve a healthy pregnancy and a thriving baby.
