The Floura Approach
So, what actually happens when you book?
There’s no single preconception checklist that suits everyone. Some clients come to us months before trying. Others are already trying to conceive or preparing for fertility treatment. We start with where you are now.
↓
01 — WE START WITH YOUR STORY
We’ll take a detailed look at your menstrual cycle, health history, nutrition, medications and supplements, previous pregnancies where relevant, existing pathology and your plans for conception.
If you’re attending as a couple, we’ll also consider your partner’s health and reproductive history where appropriate.
↓
02 — WE DECIDE WHAT’S WORTH INVESTIGATING
You don’t automatically need every fertility test available.
We’ll review any results you already have and consider whether further investigation may provide useful information based on your individual circumstances.
This might include reproductive hormones, ovulation-related testing, thyroid function, nutrient status or semen analysis where appropriate.
↓
03 — YOUR PERSONALISED PRECONCEPTION PLAN BEGINS
Your plan is built around what you need before conception.
Depending on your presentation, this may include nutrition and lifestyle strategies alongside practitioner-prescribed supplementation or herbal medicine where appropriate.
↓
04 — WE REVIEW + REFINE
Preconception health isn’t static.
We’ll review your progress, any new pathology and changes to your cycle or circumstances, then adjust your plan as needed as you move closer to conception.
THERE’S NO ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL FERTILITY PROTOCOL AT FLOURA.
Your preconception care should reflect your body, your history and where you are in the journey.
IVF support - let’s increase your chances
IVF is about more than the procedure itself. Your nutritional status, hormone health, lifestyle and overall wellbeing can all play a role in reproductive health.
At Floura, we work alongside your fertility team to help optimise your health before and during IVF, giving your body the best possible foundation for treatment.
How naturopathic support can help
Nutritional optimisation: Identifying potential deficiencies and supporting nutrients important for reproductive health.
Hormonal health: Exploring thyroid function, menstrual health and other factors that may influence fertility.
Egg and sperm health: Supporting both partners through evidence-informed nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Lifestyle support: Addressing sleep, stress, movement and other modifiable factors.
Personalised care: Creating a plan that complements your fertility specialist's treatment.
Testing we utilise in clinic
-
Depending on your presentation, reproductive hormones such as oestradiol, progesterone, LH and FSH may be considered to provide information about aspects of your menstrual cycle and reproductive health.
Timing matters, so where relevant we'll guide you on when testing may be most useful within your cycle.
-
Understanding whether and when ovulation is occurring can form an important part of preconception care.
Depending on your circumstances, this may involve reviewing your cycle history and signs of ovulation alongside appropriately timed pathology where indicated.
-
Thyroid health is an important consideration before and during pregnancy.
Depending on your history and existing results, thyroid markers may be reviewed or further investigation recommended where appropriate.
-
Preconception provides an opportunity to assess nutritional status and identify areas that may warrant attention before pregnancy.
Depending on your individual circumstances, this may include iron studies, B12, folate, vitamin D and other relevant general pathology.
-
Where clinically appropriate, glucose, HbA1c and insulin-related markers may be considered as part of the broader picture - particularly where there are relevant symptoms, health history or PCOS.
-
Because fertility isn't solely a female consideration.
Where appropriate, semen analysis can provide information about factors including sperm concentration, motility and morphology and may form part of a couple's broader fertility assessment.
Some of our beautiful clients…
“I came away from my appointment feeling so much clearer.”
I’d had blood tests before but never really understood what any of them meant. Having Abbey go through my history, symptoms and results together made such a difference.
Recent Client“I wish I had done this years ago.”
I thought my PMS and painful periods were just something I had to deal with every month. I felt completely heard and never rushed or dismissed.
Recent Client“For the first time, I actually felt like someone was looking at the whole picture.”
I’d been dealing with irregular periods and fatigue for years. I loved that my symptoms weren’t looked at separately - Gabby explained everything so clearly and I finally felt like I had a plan.
