Become an expert in your own fertility!
Gain a clear understanding of egg and sperm health so that you can advocate for your fertility needs!
Introducing The Guide to Egg and Sperm Health - the mini-course that helps you understand options for testing, supplementation, and lifestyle changes.
Did you know that issues related to egg and sperm health account for the biggest proportion of fertility challenges?
And while egg health is most often blamed for infertility, sperm plays just as much of a role.
Fertility clinic testing often only scratches the surface of what needs to be investigated to understand the full picture of egg and sperm health.
The reality is that if you want to be really thorough in your investigation of fertility issues, you have to be ready to advocate for what you need.
So how do you know what to ask for? After all, you can’t be expected to know the ins and outs of fertility testing.
The Guide to Egg and Sperm Health is a course designed to equip you with the tools you need to discuss egg and sperm testing with your doctor. Additionally, you’ll gain all kinds of tools you can use on your own to improve egg and sperm quality.
