When trying to conceive, egg quality plays a crucial role in fertility and pregnancy success. While age is a significant factor, nutrition and lifestyle choices can also support ovarian health and improve egg quality. A diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and essential nutrients can help protect eggs from oxidative stress and promote optimal reproductive function.

When planning to start a family, fertility testing may be an important consideration for many women, especially if conception is unsuccessful after several months of trying. Diagnosing fertility status requires a very comprehensive first appointment in which many topics are discussed, such as birth control use, partner’s fertility status, menstrual history, sexual practices, surgical history, medications, lifestyle, diet, work and home environment, stress levels, and so much more.
