The sperm you'll conceive with is being made right now.

It takes about 74 days to make, and most couples only prepare in the month they try. Take the 2-minute Scorecard to see where you both stand, and get a custom 90-day plan built from your answers.

The Fertility Scorecard7 questions

Question 1 of 7

Where are you two right now?

Days 0 to 74: the sperm for your attempt is produced
Day 0: baseline for both
Day 45: check-in retest
Day 90: retest, then try

Built on published research. Clinical review by [CLINICIAN NAME, CREDENTIAL].

Couples prepare in the wrong month.

Apps, timing and supplements all focus on the attempt. The biology runs on a three-month clock, and the male half of it is usually the last thing anyone measures.

About 1 in 6 adults worldwide is affected by infertility.

World Health Organization, 2023

Sperm counts fell 62% between 1973 and 2018, and the decline is speeding up.

Levine et al., Human Reproduction Update, 2022

About half of infertility cases involve a male factor, and men are usually tested last.

[CITATION TO CONFIRM]

Two bodies, one 90-day window. Start with your side.

Four steps, both partners, one number that moves.

  1. 1

    Measure

    Both of you get a baseline. For him, a lab or at-home semen analysis. For her, cycle tracking and the labs her doctor recommends.

  2. 2

    Remove

    Cut the known drags for 90 days: heat, short sleep, alcohol and nicotine.

  3. 3

    Build

    Eat, sleep and train for the window, together.

  4. 4

    Retest

    Check in at day 45, retest at day 90, and bring the numbers to your doctor.

Question 1

What the research supports, and what it doesn't.

Linked to sperm quality

  • Heat exposure: sperm production runs cooler than the rest of the body.
  • Smoking and vaping.
  • Heavy drinking.
  • Excess weight.

Where the trials disappoint

In a trial of 2,370 couples, folic acid and zinc supplements taken by the men did not improve semen quality. A supplement stack is not a plan.

Schisterman et al., JAMA, 2020 (the FAZST trial)

Questions

Is the Scorecard free?

Yes. Answer seven questions and you'll get your score and a custom 90-day plan for both of you.

Is this medical advice?

No. It's education and a plan to take to your doctor. It doesn't diagnose or treat any condition.

Do we both have to do it?

It works best together. His numbers are the easiest to measure and retest, so they show whether the 90 days are working.

We're already planning IVF. Is this for us?

Yes. The same 90 days come before any cycle, and your plan applies either way.
