Understanding your reproductive system is an important part of knowing how to prevent or increase your chances of pregnancy. While most women know the basics, many don’t realise that there is more to your reproductive system than just your period.

A woman is fertile only for a few days during each menstrual cycle.

If you have intercourse just one day after you ovulate your chance of falling pregnant is just 9%. Nu-Leaf can teach you simple tools to determine when you are about to ovulate and increase your chance of conceiving.

Why do I have to wait 4 months before trying to conceive?

To ensure the health of your sperm and eggs is optimal before conception. As eggs and sperm take approximately 3 - 4 months to generate and mature, the full advantages of preconception health care can not be experienced if conception occurs before this time. If there are additional risk factors such as increased age, or previous history of problems, or the use of assisted reproductive technology, it is even more important to complete your preconception health care before conception. The four month time period is a general, minimum guideline. Occasionally a longer time is required if there are particular health issues which need to have the chance to fully respond to treatment.
