A healthy conception.

Infertility now affects one in five couples; in an estimated 40% of cases this is due to entirely male factors. Testing both partners from the outset can reduce emotional and financial costs in the long run. It also gives couples an opportunity to prepare for pregnancy.

Research strongly implicates DNA fragmentation in otherwise normal sperm as a significant factor in pregnancy failure and miscarriage. There is now a DNA fragmentation test which can measure the amount of DNA fragmentation present in sperm. The higher the levels of fragmentation the lower the chances of sustaining a healthy pregnancy.

Lifestyle; illness, diet, smoking, alcohol, high fever, drugs, pollution and age are among some of the factors that affect DNA in sperm. With preparation and planning it maybe possible to reverse the elevated levels of DNA fragmentation.

Since the sperm takes 3 months to be affected we have designed a male cycle (3 month duration) to help you prepare for pregnancy. Our cycles take a multi-disciplined approach to your health; looking at lifestyle, diet and correcting any underlying imbalances by using acupuncture, herbs, antioxidants or other complementary therapy techniques, so that a healthy and viable pregnancy can be achieved.

With careful planning, be it a natural or assisted approach to fertility; we believe it is possible to improve your chances and achieve a healthy conception.
