WHY IT MATTERS
Most people wait until they get a positive pregnancy test to start a prenatal—but by then, critical development has already begun. The science is clear: starting a prenatal vitamin at least 3 months before trying to conceive gives your body the nutritional foundation it needs.
The nutrients you take today influence the quality of the egg you'll release in 90 days—making early supplementation one of the most impactful things you can do.
Sperm are continuously produced, and quality is shaped by nutrition during the development cycle. Antioxidants, zinc, and CoQ10 now mean healthier sperm later.
Neural tube development begins just 17 to 30 days after conception—before many realize they're pregnant. Building Folate levels in advance is one of the most important things you can do.
DOCTOR-FORMULATED
Not all supplements are created equal. Here's what fertility doctors actually recommend—for egg health and for sperm health.
For Egg Health
For Sperm Health
For Couples
01
Folate
Having both Folic Acid and Methylated Folate in your prenatal ensures you get the correct dose in forms you can absorb. Folate is critical in early pregnancy.
02
CoQ10
CoQ10 is an antioxidant recommended by fertility doctors for egg quality and mitochondrial energy—especially important for egg-producing cells.
03
Vitamin D
Most of us are low in this important vitamin, which regulates reproductive hormones. Deficiency is linked to reduced fertility and implantation issues.
04
Omega-3 (DHA)
Omega-3 supports healthy blood flow to the uterus and is critical for early fetal brain development—and most diets fall short.
05
Iron
Iron supports ovulation and healty egg development, and once pregnant the demend increases by almost double. Getting your stores high before you're pregnant keeps you covered.
06
NAC
N-Acetyl Cysteine is a doctor-recommended antioxidant that supports egg quality by reducing oxidative stress.

LIFESTYLE
Your daily habits—sleep, diet, stress, and the right supplements—have a measurable effect on fertility. Here's what the science says to prioritize.
8 Lifestyle Habits That Improve Fertility
Start a Prenatal Early
Prenatal nutrition begins before conception—aim for at least 3 months before trying.
Learn more →
Quit Smoking & Cut Alcohol
Both significantly impact egg quality, sperm health, and hormone balance.
Clean Up Your Diet
A Mediterranean-style diet rich in whole foods supports hormone production and egg quality.
Prioritize Sleep
Aim for 7.5+ hours. Melatonin (produced during sleep) plays a direct role in reproductive health.
Exercise Regularly
Moderate activity improves circulation to reproductive organs and supports hormone balance.
Track Your Ovulation
Use ovulation tests to pinpoint your fertile window each month.
07
Manage Stress
Chronic stress disrupts reproductive hormones. Breathing, journaling, and movement all help.
08
Enjoy Sex
Oxytocin released during sex supports a positive reproductive environment.

What they didn't teach you in sex ed.
When you're trying to get pregnant the sex tips are a little different. Here's what science says about timing, frequency, and how to support your body through the process.
Pregnancy can only happen during a narrow window each cycle—the ~5 days leading up to ovulation, plus ovulation day itself. Sperm can survive in the reproductive tract for up to 5 days, so having sex before ovulation gives you the best odds.
You have only about 5 to 6 fertile days per cycle
Have sex every other day during your fertile window
Watch for egg-white cervical mucus—a key indicator of ovulation
A positive ovulation test is your best signal of ovulation
OVULATION TESTING
Ovulation tests or ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) detect the LH surge that happens 24 to 36 hours before ovulation—your signal that you're in your fertile window and it's time to get busy.
1
Start testing around day 10 to 12 of your cycle (reminder: day 1 is the first full day of period bleeding).
2
Avoid large amounts of fluid for 2 hours before testing to prevent dilution.
3
Pee into a clean, dry container.
4
Dip the white tip of the strip into the urine and hold it there for 5 seconds (don't go past the MAX marker line).
5
Set the strip down on a clean, dry surface and wait 5 minutes to read your results.

Over 99% accurate at detecting the LH surge
What the Lines Mean
✓ Positive — LH Surge
The test line is as dark or darker than the control line. You'll likely ovulate in 24 to 36 hours, so start have sex today (and over the next few days).
Almost — LH Rising
Test line visible but lighter than control. LH is rising but not yet at its peak—test again in 12 hours.
Negative — No Surge Yet
The test line is very faint or invisible—and definitely lighter than the control line. Keep testing daily to see if the line gets darker.
Yes
Use a fertility-friendly lube like Bird&Be Power Play Lube—it's pH-balanced and sperm-safe
Have sex in any position you like—comfort and enjoyment matter more than angles
Embrace the orgasm—it improves lubrication and creates a more sperm-friendly environment (but no pressure, plenty conceive without the big O)
Confirm your fertile window with an ovulation test—even better if you've been tracking leading up to trying
No
No need to have sex every single day if you don't want to—every other day works
You don't need to prop your legs up afterward—sperm reach the cervix within seconds, no headstand needed
Don't test for pregnancy right away—there's about two weeks between doing the deed and being able to detect a pregnancy on a test
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
Trying to conceive looks different for everyone. If you're navigating a diagnosis or wondering when to ask for help, here's what you should know—with compassion, not alarm.
PCOS
PCOS is one of the most common causes of irregular cycles—but it doesn't mean pregnancy isn't possible. Many people with PCOS can conceive with the right lifestyle support, cycle tracking, and targeted supplementation.

ENDOMETRIOSIS
Endometriosis affects roughly 1 in 10 people with a uterus—and its relationship with fertility is nuanced. Many people with endometriosis do conceive, and understanding how it affects your cycle can help you advocate for yourself with your care team.
GETTING HELP
The general guideline is to seek help after 12 months of trying if you're under 35, or 6 months if you're 35 or older. But there are reasons to reach out sooner—and knowing them can save you time. You don't have to wait to ask for support.
Bird&Be's supplements are formulated to support fertility at every stage—whether you're just starting out or navigating a more complex journey.
