It takes around 5 months for eggs and 3½ months for sperm to mature before being ready for release. Therefore, it makes good sense to start a pre-conception plan at least 4, ideally 6 months before trying to conceive. You wouldn’t run a marathon without some planning and a detailed strategy, so the same applies to conception and pregnancy!

Not only can the right nutrition and lifestyle changes help natural conception, but in those cases where assisted conception is the only option, a tailored nutrition programme can enhance success rates for IUI, IVF etc.
