At first glance, making a baby sounds relatively easy.  Egg and sperm meet and 40 weeks later, out pops a beautiful healthy baby.  Sadly, for many couples this is far form the truth and conceiving a child becomes a roller coaster ride full of twists and turns. 

The latest research clearly now suggests a strong link between the health of both the male AND female in the months prior to conception.  As it turns out, the health of your egg and sperm not only affect your fertility and the health of your baby but interestingly the health of your child and the health of up to 4 generations is affected by your nutrition and lifestyle prior to conception!

With 1 in 6 couples in Australia being labelled as infertile, a number of different areas are now being linked to infertility and difficulty conceiving.  These areas include but are not limited to:

• Male health and nutrition is just as important as the female
• Oxidative stress causes damage to the egg and sperm which affects your fertility
  
• Stress
  
• Key nutrient deficiencies
  
• Dietary habits
  
• Lifestyle habits: Smoking, alcohol, over the counter medications, drugs
  
• Sperm quality and quantiti
  
• Hormonal imbalance
  
• Endocrine/thyroid imbalance
  
• Immune system imbalance resulting in antibody developement
  

Radiance Healthcare Centre has designed several preconception programs to accomodate all couples on their unique journey to conceiving a child.  Our three programs include:

General Preconception Care - A must for ANY couple wishing to conceive
Specialised Preconception Care - For couples that are finding it challenging to conceive or who have a history of miscarriage
IVF support - For couples that are looking to maximise the quality of their eggs, sperm and embryo during Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)


The health of your egg and sperm today are acutally determined by what you did four months ago since it generally takes this long for sperm and eggs to mature.  The length of our fertility program reflects this to ensure egg and sperm health are optimal before conception.
