What is Pre-Conception Health Care?
PCHC is basically making better babies! Some people choose to undertake PCHC for a few months before trying to conceive even if they don't have any fertility problems. It takes approximately 4 months for a female egg to mature and a sperm to be produced so in order to have a really healthy sperm and egg you need to have a high nutritional status and an absense of all things harmful for at least 4 months before attempting conception. This improves the genetic strength of our species and creates stronger, healthier babies with less likelihood of disease.
Anyone experiencing infertility or repeated miscarriage should definitely integrate PCHC into their treatment as the quality of the egg and/or sperm is of paramount importance.
The programme takes at least 4 - 6 months during which time there is a detoxification period then four months of building up nutrient stores to make a health egg and sperm. It can sometimes take longer depending on a couple's cause for infertility - menstrual disorders and sperm abnormalities can sometimes take longer to correct. The good news is that this treatment can set the biological age of the parents back several years and lessen the risk of birth defects.
PCHC involves the following:
- Improving nutrition and implementing a specially formulated diet
- Balancing nutritional deficiencies / excesses
- Screening for heavy metal toxicity
- Avoiding environmental hazards such as toxins, chemicals and radiation
- Reducing stress
- Getting fit
- Detoxification
- Improving Reproductive Health
- Treating infections and / or allergies
- Avoiding the contraceptive pill or IUD
- Charting and learning the NFM methods for ultimate timing of conception
The Natural Fertility Management Programme:
The NFM programme teaches you to understand and co-operate with your fertility cycles, through observing body signs such as cervical mucus, basal body temperature and combining this knowledge with your personal bio-rhythmic lunar cycleThe angle of the moon and the earth at the exact time of your birth reoccurs approximately every 29.5 days. A woman can spontaneously ovulate at this time – yes that´s right! A woman can ovulate up to twice in one cycle! This accounts for why the rhythm method has such a low success rate as a form of contraception and why women conceive when they have intercourse after their normal hormonal ovulation or during their period etc. It is the addition of taking into account your lunar cycle that makes this form of contraception so effective..
I recommend that you purchase a Natural Fertility Management Conception Kit. This contains the following:
- A copy of "Natural Fertility" - by Francesca Naish the founder and developer of the Natural Fertility Management techniques taught.
- Work Book - for charting
- Fertility Thermometer
- An order card for your personal lunar calculations for 5 years (the cost for these calculations is included in the kit price)
- Time Machine - this allows you to make adjustments while travelling
- CD by Fransesca Naish - the first part is introducing you to Natural Fertility Management and the second part is a relaxation technique for aligning your hormonal cycle with your lunar cycle so that you have a more powerful ovulation for conception and help with any hormonal imbalances.
