We encourage all of our fertility patients to take vitamins and supplements prior to and during their fertility treatment, which gently help to improve the quality of their eggs and increase sperm motility, as well as supporting improvements in overall health and wellbeing. Research indicates that taking the right fertility vitamins and supplements can result in conceiving in a shorter period of time.
