Lifestyle Changes

Limit alcohol, quit smoking, get the flu vaccine, limit exposure to environmental risks, stay physically active, and consider your BMI. While everyone is different and there is no "ideal weight" for conception, being underweight (BMI <19) or overweight (BMI >30) can throw off hormones that affect menstrual cycles and ovulation.

Optimize Your Nutrition

Establish a healthy diet (whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, heart-healthy fats), avoid processed foods, fish with high mercury levels, and unpasteurized cheeses, limit caffeine to two 8-ounce cups of coffee per day, and take a prenatal vitamin to help optimize your nutrition prior to conceiving.

Create Your Support System

Now is the best time to identify those family members and trusted friends who will be able to provide support as you embark on this next chapter of your life. Having someone who can offer a listening ear or distract you during tough cycles or waiting periods can make all the difference.

The Final Steps

Book a preconception visit with your OB/GYN and confirm that you are up to date on your pap smear and mammogram, if applicable. Next, schedule a consultation with an Illume Fertility specialist to begin essential fertility testing, such as FSH and AMH lab work and a hysterosalpingogram (HSG).
