Balanced diets with vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and lean proteins support ovulatory function and sperm parameters. Folic acid supplementation is recommended when pregnancy is possible.
Extreme calorie restriction or rapid weight cycling can halt menstruation. Moderate activity benefits fertility; excessive endurance training without adequate fuel may suppress ovulation.
Alcohol, smoking, and high mercury fish intake should be minimized when trying to conceive. Partners share environmental exposures that affect pregnancy outcomes.
Nutrition is one pillar alongside sleep, medical care, and mental health—not a guarantee of conception timelines.
