Your Fertility Roadmap: IVF is Not the Only Way
There are different paths to conception. Not everyone’s journey is the same and we will help you find the one that’s right for you.
Phase 1: Natural Conception (with guidance and support)
Duration: This stage typically spans 6-12 months, depending on your age, health, and medical history.
What’s Involved: If your cycles are regular, this is the time to focus on optimizing your natural chances. We help you understand your body, track your fertile window accurately, and make small but impactful lifestyle changes to support fertility.
How We Help: We guide you with hormone testing, ovulation tracking, and fertility health checks. Our team supports you with clear guidance on timing, lifestyle, nutrition, and supplements — so you’re not left guessing.
Phase 2: Ovulation Induction with Timed Intercourse
Duration: Typically spans 3-4 cycles, with each cycle being one month.
What’s Involved: If periods are irregular or timed intercourse hasn’t worked, this stage uses mild medication to help you ovulate more consistently. With precise monitoring, we guide you on when to try.
How We Help: We monitor your cycle through scans and bloodwork to track follicle growth and ovulation. Our focus is to ensure medications are working safely while giving you clarity on your next steps.
Phase 3: Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Duration: Usually recommended over 3-4 cycles.
What’s Involved: For some couples, IUI helps improve chances by placing prepared sperm directly into the uterus at the right time. This is often used if ovulation induction hasn’t worked or for mild male factor issues.
How We Help: We support you with pre-IUI assessments, careful monitoring, and timing. Our team handles the procedure with precision while guiding you through every step with care and clarity."

Importance of Preconception Health
When you understand your own reproductive health, you are in a better position to make decisions about when you want to conceive. This will ensure you prepare with confidence. Addressing various issues, if any, before conception can mitigate significant complications and risks of birth defects. Preconception care supports lifestyle and mental health by listing out a plan for overall enhancement and learning about ways to improve your chances naturally.

We recommend the couple to attend the session together as it can help understand fertility health for both partners.
Fertility Testing & Expert Guidance
We will assess your fertility, menstrual health, ovulation pattern and your overall reproductive health based on your inputs. The conception calculator can then fetch accurate results, such as month of conception and conception date. ADD male fertility testing too
Tools to Plan Conception & Pregnancy Timeline
Once you are aware of your reproductive health, couples can estimate baby conception dates by tracking ovulation with the help of conception calendars. Conception date calculators can predict fertile days and the probable conception date based on the cycle length. EDD by conception date can be arrived at using the conception date.
Conception Date & Pregnancy Tools
A conception calendar tracks ovulation and fertile dates, and calculates the due date. The calculation is typically done by adding 38 weeks to the conception date. This way, you can plan natural conception effectively with the help of a conception calendar.
Common Concerns Around Pre-Conception
You may be worried about age, or how genetics may affect conception, how your fertile health is, or if any underlying health conditions may pose a challenge in conceiving. Learn about these common concerns in a preconception consult and what you can do to navigate your way around them.
How accurate is a conception date calculator?
A conception date calculator is not accurate but gives an estimate based on your menstrual cycle and ovulation pattern. Various factors such as irregular periods or late ovulation are at play that may affect conception; hence an accurate result is not possible.
Can food and nutrition really improve chances of conception?
Certain foods for conception can increase chances of natural conception. You must consume a diet complete with folate, iron, zinc, and antioxidants to support your reproductive health.
What is the ideal preconception checklist for couples?
A preconception checklist includes medical checkups, hormonal testing, ensuring a healthy lifestyle – stress management, intake of best foods for conception, and tracking ovulation patterns.
How to know your day of conception?
There is no way to accurately know your day of conception, though you will know the month of conception. A conception calendar that tracks ovulation and fertile dates will calculate your due date by adding 38 weeks to the conception date.
