If you have an IVF or IUI cycle on the calendar, you have probably wondered what you can do in the weeks beforehand. One area many people focus on is egg quality. Eggs take roughly three months to mature before ovulation, so the lead-up to treatment is a natural window to prioritise overall reproductive wellness — through nutrition, lifestyle, and supplements designed to support it.

Why the 90 days before treatment matter
The cohort of eggs recruited for an upcoming cycle spends about three months developing. During that window, the everyday factors below are commonly discussed for general reproductive wellness:
- Nutrition — a colourful, antioxidant-rich diet and adequate folate.
- Sleep and stress — both influence hormone balance.
- Limiting smoking, excess alcohol and high caffeine.
- Targeted supplements designed to support egg and reproductive wellness alongside the above.
None of this replaces your fertility clinic's protocol — it works alongside the care your doctor provides.
Nutrients commonly discussed for egg-quality support
Couples preparing for treatment often ask their clinician about ingredients such as:
- CoQ10 — frequently studied in the context of cellular energy and egg wellness.
- Folate and B vitamins — foundational for preconception nutrition.
- Antioxidants (vitamins C and E, selenium) — to support the body against everyday oxidative stress.
- Vitamin D and omega-3s — broadly linked to reproductive and hormonal wellness.
- Inositol — often discussed for those with PCOS or irregular cycles.
Always confirm any supplement with your fertility specialist, especially close to a medicated cycle.
The AGO combo for preconception support
AGO formulas are herbal-based dietary supplements designed to support reproductive wellness as part of a healthy lifestyle. For couples preparing for IVF or IUI, the care team often suggests pairing:
- AGO Mom — designed to support female fertility wellness, cycle balance and healthy ovulation.
- AGO Eva — designed to support women's hormonal balance and uterine wellness.
- AGO Dad — for the male partner, designed to support sperm wellness and vitality (sperm also renews roughly every three months).
- AGO Tumor — added when there is a fibroid-related concern, to support uterine wellness alongside medical care.
Because both partners contribute, a his-and-hers combo keeps the routine simple in the months before a cycle. See the full AGO range and combo pricing →
Supplements support — they don't replace treatment
For structural factors such as blocked fallopian tubes or fibroids, IVF, IUI or surgical care are decided by your medical team. Supplements are not a treatment for these conditions; AGO formulas are intended only to support overall reproductive wellness alongside the plan your doctor sets. Start any supplement early enough to align with the ~90-day window, and always review it with your specialist first.
