Preconception Hormonal Support

Meaning

Preconception hormonal support is a proactive clinical strategy focused on optimizing the endocrine environment in both prospective parents, typically spanning several months prior to planned conception, to enhance fertility and improve offspring health outcomes. This involves comprehensive assessment and normalization of key reproductive hormones, including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones, along with addressing metabolic markers like insulin sensitivity and inflammation. The goal is to ensure the optimal quality of gametes—sperm and ova—by providing a robust, balanced hormonal and metabolic foundation. This support is a critical, often overlooked, element of foundational health and family planning.
