You’ve Heard of Prenatals - But What About Pre-Fertility Vitamins?

June is World Fertility Month, and whether you're just starting to think about babies or already timing ovulation, there's one big shift in the fertility space we need to talk about: moving from just prenatal care to something we like to call pre-fertility care.

So you’ve heard of prenatal vitamins. But what if we told you that the most important time to support your fertility isn’t after you start trying - but before?

Wait, what’s the difference?

Prenatal vitamins are great - and essential once you're pregnant. But if you’re trying to conceive (TTC), or even just thinking ahead, your body actually has different needs in the preconception phase. That’s where pre-fertility supplements come in.

Think of it this way: You wouldn’t show up to a marathon with no training, right? So why wait until pregnancy to nourish your hormones, support ovulation, and prepare your body for the most important job it’ll ever do?

“We’ve been taught to start thinking about our fertility only once we’re trying to conceive but by that point, your body is already playing catch-up,” says Kat Lestage, Co-Founder and Chief Ova Officer. “Pre-fertility care fills the gap. It’s about supporting your cycle, hormones, and egg health now - so your body is ready when you are.”

The case for pre-fertility vitamins

Here’s what your body may need before pregnancy that traditional prenatals don’t always cover:

Hormone support – balancing estrogen and progesterone to support regular cycles.
Ovulation support – through nutrients like B vitamins, myo-inositol, and zinc.
Egg quality – with antioxidants like CoQ10, NAC, and selenium.
Womb health – through nutrients that support blood flow, thyroid function, and implantation.
Gut and inflammation support – which affect everything from hormone detox to immune balance.
