We know how difficult it is, on every level, when you are trying for a baby and it isn’t happening.
The first thing to say is, don’t panic. It’s natural for couples to assume they will get pregnant soon after they start trying, but it often doesn’t work out that way, for lots of reasons. Sometimes it’s as simple as unreasonable expectations as to how long these things take, or how long it can take for your fertility to return after contraception, miscarriage or birth.
These days an estimated 1 in 6 couples have problems conceiving. But the majority should still be able to go on to have a baby through natural means. Particularly if they take the time and effort to understand the various factors that could be adversely affecting their fertility. The Zita West team can help you to take a calm, step-by-step approach to putting things right.
We usually recommend that clients who find themselves in this situation invest in their own personalised Zita West “Maximum Fertility Plan”. Based on your answers to a detailed pre-appointment questionnaire, one of our consultant midwives, or our fertility nurse, will review every important aspect of you and your partners’ reproductive health and fertility history in order to help identify possible adverse factors and to suggest ways in which to help put them right.
This may reveal the need for further medical
examinations and tests to investigate possible physical problems. Or, more
likely, areas of possible weakness in your reproductive health which can be
addressed by improving such things as your nutrition, modifying certain aspects
of your lifestyle, stimulating your reproductive system, dealing with
long-standing complaints such as food intolerances or adrenal or thyroid
deficiencies, or relieving anxiety and stress.
Nutritional therapy, in particular, is
central to our approach to boosting the levels of fertility for both partners
and we will usually recommend that both of you have separate “Nutritional
Healthchecks” with one of our nutritional therapists as an early step (see
details below). You might like to book these to follow on from your “Maximum
Fertility” planning session.
For details of how to book an appointment click on
“How to Contact Us” from the menu bar on the left hand side of this page or on
“Contact Us” immediately below.
“Maximum Fertility” planning sessions last
c45/60 minutes and cost £195 (with Zita West) or £165 (with a Zita West midwife
or fertility nurse).
If you’d like to combine this with a “Nutritional Healthcheck” for
you and your partner, we can offer a package rate of £395 (if your “Maximum
Fertility” planning session is with Zita West) or £365 (if it is with a Zita
West midwife or fertility nurse).
