Frequently Asked Questions

About Dietary Supplements for Reproductive Health & Expected Results

  • What Can I Do to Improve My Fertility Status?

    Most fertility experts agree that a variety of lifestyle and dietary factors impact fertility status in both men and women. Eating a healthy diet (rich in fruits, vegetables, healthy oils, and whole grains), exercising regularly, stopping smoking, limiting consumption of caffeine and alcohol, and supplementing your diet with dietary supplements may improve your overall health, including your fertility.

    Will I Get Pregnant If I Take FertilAid for Women and/or FertileCM?

    Of course, not all women who take FertilAid and/or FertileCM will become pregnant. Taking FertilAid is intended to help restore hormonal balance and provide full prenatal vitamin protection for reproductive aged women. While many women have successfully conceived while taking FertilAid, taking this product is not guaranteed to result in pregnancy. For more information about the role that it can play in your trying to conceive journey, please read this article on FertilAid. FertileCM is intended to increase the production of fertile-quality cervical mucus. Sufficient fertile-quality cervical mucus is necessary for protecting and transporting sperm in the female reproductive tract. While many women have successfully conceived while taking FertileCM, taking this product is not guaranteed to result in pregnancy.

  • Will My Partner Conceive If I Take FertilAid for Men?

    FertilAid for Men is designed to promote overall reproductive health in men. In a double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial, FertilAid for Men was shown to improve sperm health. While improvements in sperm count and sperm motility are helpful for increasing the chances of conception, such improvements do not guarantee that fertilization will occur. For more information about the role that FertilAid can play in your trying to conceive journey, please read this article on FertilAid.

About Ovulation Prediction

  • Why Is It important for Me to Know When I Ovulate?

    For conception to occur, sperm must be present in the Fallopian tubes at the moment the egg is released from the ovary. Because sperm can only survive for 5-7 days in the female reproductive tract, a woman is really only “fertile” for a short window of time during each month. To maximize the chances of getting pregnant, trying to conceive couples must plan to have intercourse on the several days prior to ovulation (and perhaps on the day of ovulation). Many women have no trouble identifying their fertile window. However, for many other women, ovulation prediction is much more difficult. At Fairhaven Health, we provide the tools and information necessary for you to help determine your most fertile days.

  • What Types of Ovulation Detection/Prediction Methods are There?

    There are several ways to detect and/or predict ovulation. One method is to take your basal body temperature (also known as your resting temperature) throughout your cycle using a basal thermometer. Charting your basal body temperature can help you detect the shift in temperatures that occurs at the time of ovulation. Directly after ovulation, your basal body temperature will typically increase by 0.5 to 1.5 degrees F.

    Another way to pinpoint your fertile window is to monitor the consistency and quantity of cervical mucus. In the days just prior to ovulation, many women see an increase in the production of fertile-quality cervical mucus. The appearance of this egg-white consistency mucus reflects hormonal fluctuations that suggest that ovulation is about to occur.

    Saliva-based ovulation microscopes and electronic fertility trackers, can also be used to predict ovulation by detecting the hormonal shifts that occur as ovulation approaches.

  • Will I Get Pregnant If I Have Intercourse During My Fertile Window?

    While timing intercourse during your fertile window is necessary for conception, it does not guarantee that you will become pregnant. Even when no fertility problems are present, the average couple between ages 29 and 33 has about a 20 to 25 percent chance of becoming pregnant during any given menstrual cycle.
