Nutrition While Trying to Conceive
Folate deserves particular attention before conception and during early pregnancy, because the neural tube develops very early, often before someone realizes they are pregnant. The CDC recommends that people who could become pregnant get 400 mcg of folic acid daily. That is why many healthcare providers suggest starting a prenatal supplement before pregnancy rather than after a positive test.
This guide collects what we have written about nutrition in the trying-to-conceive window, including the questions that come up most often during fertility treatment.
Before conception
- Preconception nutrition — the food choices that matter before pregnancy begins.
- Do prenatal vitamins help you get pregnant? — what the science actually says, and what it does not.
- How to improve egg quality naturally — science-backed habits worth discussing with your care team.
During fertility treatment
- Prenatal vitamins during IVF — nutrients, timing and what to ask your fertility team.
Choosing and taking a prenatal
- Prenatal nutrients, one by one — folate, choline, DHA, iron and the rest.
- Prenatal vitamin formats and daily use — pills, gummies, powders and building a routine you will keep.
- Folate vs folic acid — the distinction that comes up constantly in this stage.
