Why egg quality is determined 3 months before conception

What fertility research has been exploring for years, and what it means for your trying to conceive (TTC) journey.

When we decide to have a baby, we often imagine that everything begins at the moment of ovulation.

In reality, preparation begins much earlier: around 3 months before.

For a simple biological reason: an egg develops during the 90 days leading up to ovulation.

  • An egg cell takes around 90 days to mature
  • The baby's neural tube (brain and spinal cord) closes between days 21 and 28 of pregnancy
  • Addressing nutrient deficiencies takes time

The 3 reasons (backed by science)

1. Did you know?

An egg takes approximately 90 days to mature before being ovulated. During this period, it develops in a cellular environment that is sensitive to your diet, your lifestyle and your antioxidant status.

2. Egg quality preparation starts well in advance

The egg released this month began its maturation approximately 3 months ago. This window depends on many factors: age, hormonal balance, lifestyle habits, diet, and oxidative stress.

3. Oxidative stress: a factor under study

Oxidative stress is being explored by research for its potential role in cellular ageing, including at the level of reproductive cells. This is one of the reasons why antioxidant status receives attention during the conception period.

Zinc, for its part, helps protect cells against oxidative stress.

The recommended choice: Ovo+, the fertility supplement designed for the conception period

✅ zinc bisglycinate highly absorbed, which contributes to normal fertility and reproduction

✅ 100 mg of L-tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin

✅ compatible with IVF · made in France

2 capsules per day, from the very start of your conception journey.
