"3 pills in the morning and 3 pills at night. Take w/ food. Take supplement until conception. Once pregnant, discontinue and take prenatal supplement throughout pregnancy. What makes FH PRO helpful for your fertility? This supplement contains essential vitamins and nutrients needed to help support egg quality, cycle regulation, healthy hormone balance, and improve overall cervical mucus. Here is some information on some of the major game players in this supplement! Vitamin A aka retinol- is a critical component throughout pregnancy and for fetal development. Not only does it play a role in reproduction, vitamin A is involved with immune function, vision, and cellular communication. It supports cell growth and plays a role in the normal function and maintenance of the heart, lungs, and kidneys! Vitamin C - boosts the immune system, helps promote iron absorption, and helps progesterone production Vitamin E - can help increase cervical mucus, making it easier for sperm to stay alive longer. Vitamin K - helps calcium absorption within the body and it is linked to teeth formation and central nervous system development. Myo- inositol- is an insulin sensitizing agent that helps reduce insulin resistance in women. It is great for improving egg quality D- Chiro- inositol - helps regulate/improve ovulation and improves serum androgen levels. If androgen levels are too high, this can cause difficulties with conception. Low androgen levels can effect libido and make women feel fatigued and have a decreased sense of well-being. Both forms of inositol work synergistically! COQ10 - is an antioxidant that helps with cellular energy production. It helps support a healthy ovarian reserve. It has also been shown to reduce the effects of reproductive aging. Melatonin - this helps intra-follicular melatonin concentration. By improving melatonin concentrations, this helps reduce the follicle from being damaged by oxidative stress, especially during oocyte maturation and embryo development. Antioxidants, specifically grape-seed extract and trans-resveratrol help control the production of ROS (reactive oxygen species). ROS causes oxidative stress which damages cells and can lead to fertility issues. Grape-seed extract - effective against fat soluble and water soluble free radicals. Trans-resveratrol - protects cells from oxidative damage and protects mitochondria (creates the energy within the body) function. N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) and Glutathione - NAC is an antioxidant precursor for Glutathione. NAC can help increase glutathione levels within the body. Glutathione supports healthy detoxifications within the body and helps rid the body of excess hormones that have been produced. NAC has also been shown to support ovulation. Alpha-lipoic acid or ALA - is a water/fat soluble antioxidant. It helps with proper egg maturation and overall embryo viability. FH PRO is a cost effective and convenient way that provides the baseline optimal nutritional support you need during your fertility journey! "

"Supplementing the body’s own natural lubrication, BabyDance helps carry the sperm to the egg by mimicking the quality and consistency of the cervical fluids you produce when you are fertile. BabyDance Fertility Lubricant is compatible with sperm, oocytes, and embryos and is designed for use by trying to conceive couples. when you are trying to get pregnant, it is important to understand that not all lubricants are created equal, and you need to be discerning when selecting a lubricant to use when baby dancing. Most everyday lubes have a low pH and very high salt concentrations, and are harmful to sperm. It goes without saying that using one of these everyday lubricants when you are trying to get pregnant is counterproductive – you don’t want your lubricant to make it harder for you to get pregnant! The class of lubricants specifically designated as fertility lubricants undergo specialized testing to ensure that they won’t harm sperm or eggs. Lubricants that are safe to use when trying to conceive should have a pH of about 7 and should mimic the consistency of your cervical secretions, which help the sperm to swim through your cervix to meet the egg for conception. Studies show BabyDanceTM Fertility Lubricant does not interfere with: Sperm Motility Sperm DNA Quality Sperm Penetration into Cervical Mucus Sperm Ability to Fertilize and Support Embryo Development"

"1 softgel 2x daily, take with food. Prenatal+DHA is a balanced, synergistic formula that provides a curated compilation of nutrients your developing baby requires, in the optimal ratios for absorption, metabolism, and safety. The structural fatty acid DHA is crucial for proper eye and central nervous system development, impacting some of the most significant brain functions including vision, cognition and motor function. While DHA is important for everyone, it can be especially vital for babies. Fetuses get DHA while in the womb, and babies could get DHA through their mother’s milk. But, many women do not have enough DHA for themselves, let alone enough DHA for two. Prenatal supplements that are fortified with DHA increase the level of DHA in expectant and new mothers so that both mother and baby can benefit. Another crucial component of Prenatal+DHA is the nutrient folate. Unlike folic acid, the source Folate (Quatrefolic 50methyltetrahydrofolic) is body ready, which means it requires no complex conversion and eliminates the risk of unmetabolized folic acid. This naturally occurring form of folate is required by as many as 50% of pregnant women due to an MTFHR gene mutation, as these women either lack the enzymes needed to receive any benefit from synthetic folic acid or cannot fully process synthetic folic acid at RDA or higher dose levels."

"Ovulation tests work by detecting the surge in Luteinizing Hormone (LH) that occurs just before you ovulate. When your LH levels go up, you know that ovulation is right around the corner. In fact, you will typically ovulate within 24-48 hours of your LH surge. Our BFP Ovulation Test Strips are designed specifically for trying-to-conceive women. They’re easy to use, highly accurate, and they cost just a fraction of what drugstore brands charge. Unlike midstream ovulation tests, which are held directly in the urine stream, BFP Ovulation Test Strips are designed to be dipped into collected urine (a Dixie cup works fine). After dipping the test in urine, lay it on a flat surface. Within minutes, your test result will appear. A positive result indicates that peak fertility is at hand and that this is your optimal time for achieving pregnancy. Interpreting the results of your ovulation test is simple: simply compare the intensity (boldness) of the test line to that of the control line. If the test line is as bold or bolder than the control line, that indicates a positive result and ovulation will occur within 24-48 hours. If the test line is fainter than the control line, or if the test line is not visible at all, that indicates a negative result. First morning urine should NOT be used with this test. For best results, you should test around the same time each day. You should reduce your liquid intake approximately 2 hours prior to testing. Urinate into a clean, dry cup or container. Remove the test strip from the pouch. Hold the test strip in a vertical position with the arrows pointing downward. Dip the test into the urine approximately 1/4 inch and hold it there for at least 5 seconds. Longer dipping times will not produce false results. Do not dip past the stop line. Remove the test strip and lay it down flat. Wait 5-10 minutes before reading results. You can confirm that the test is working accurately if you receive a valid control line. A test without a control line would be an invalid test, and should be discarded. "

"The BFP Pregnancy Test Strip provides you with all the features trying-to-conceive women care about in a pregnancy test: early detection, accuracy, ease of use, and affordability. Pregnancy test strips, unlike midstream pregnancy tests, are dipped into a sample of collected urine instead of being held directly in the urine stream. It is the same format of test used in doctor’s offices. Test strips are particularly popular in the trying-to-conceive community because they provide the same early detection and accuracy as a midstream test, but at a much lower price point – perfect for your compulsive tester! Early Detection: When you’re actively trying to conceive, odds are you’re ready to begin testing as soon as possible. With the BFP Pregnancy Test Strip, sensitive to just 20 miu/ml hcg, you’re able to begin testing as early as four days before your missed period. Accuracy: False negatives and ambiguous test lines are enough to drive anyone crazy, much less someone who is actively trying to conceive. Fortunately, the BFP Pregnancy Test Strip boasts an extremely high accuracy rate – in excess of 99%. That provides you with the confidence of knowing that the results you receive reflect the true status of the hcg content of your urine. Ease of Use: Taking a pregnancy test shouldn’t be like conducting a PhD level home chemistry experiment, and with the “one step” BFP Pregnancy Test Strip, it’s not. Simply dip the test strip in collected urine (a Dixie cup works just fine) and lay the test on a flat surface. Within just a couple of minutes, your results will appear: one line = negative; two lines = (big fat!) positive! Affordability: Frequent pregnancy testing is a hallmark of the TTC experience, and with the BFP Pregnancy Test Strip, you can “pee on a stick” as often as you like – without breaking the bank. Our domestically manufactured pregnancy tests provide you with all the features of expensive drugstore-brand tests, but at a fraction of the cost. The BFP Pregnancy Test can be performed at any time of day, however first morning urine is recommended. Urinate into a clean, dry cup or container. Remove the testing device from the foil pouch by tearing at the notch. Hold the strip at the colored end. (Do not touch the arrow end; do not touch the test window/the middle part of the strip) Holding the strip vertically, immerse the end of the strip with the arrows into the specimen. Do not immerse past the MAX line. Take the strip out when the sample has migrated to the test window (at least 5 seconds). Lay the strip on a clean, dry, non- absorbent surface. You can confirm that the test is working accurately if you receive a valid control line. A test without a control line would be an invalid test, and should be discarded. "
