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.

The key points

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.

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.

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.

Why choose Ovo+?

Ovo+ is a food supplement formulated to support women on their conception journey. It combines zinc, N-acetyl-cysteine, coenzyme Q10 and L-tryptophan.
