Preparing for Pregnancy
Give your future baby the best possible start, long before you see two lines. I'm Oksana, a HCPC-registered clinical dietitian, and I help you and your partner prepare your bodies for conception with calm, evidence-based nutrition. No fad diets, no guilt - just a practical plan that fits your real life.
Does this sound like you?
- You've been trying for a few months and wonder whether your diet plays a part.
- You have PCOS, endometriosis, insulin resistance or a thyroid condition, and you've been told it "might make things harder".
- You're preparing for IVF, ICSI or IUI and want your body in the best shape.
- You've been told to "just relax" but you'd rather do something practical.
- You're lost in conflicting advice online.
- You simply want to give your baby the healthiest possible start.
If you recognised yourself in even one of these, you're in exactly the right place.
Why nutrition matters
The three months before conception are a genuine window of opportunity. An egg matures over roughly three months, and sperm take a similar amount of time to develop. What you and your partner eat today shapes the quality of both. This is never "just the woman's job": male factors are involved in around a third of couples.
Good nutrition supports:
- Hormonal balance and more regular ovulation
- Egg and sperm quality
- Steady blood sugar and better insulin response, which matters especially with PCOS and insulin resistance
- A healthy body weight where that's relevant. Even a 5 to 10% change can improve ovulation (Monash University, 2023)
- The nutrient stores your baby relies on from day one: folate, iodine, vitamin D and omega-3
How I can help you prepare
No restrictive "fertility diets", no lists of forbidden foods. I look at your whole picture: your cycle, your history, your blood results, any diagnoses and your real everyday life. Together we build a preconception plan you can genuinely stick to. We'll:
- Work out what's really going on: cycle, symptoms, diagnoses, recent bloods
- Fill the nutritional gaps that matter most for fertility and early pregnancy
- Steady your blood sugar and support your hormones through food, not fads
- Get you to a healthy, realistic weight, but only if that's actually your issue
- Put the right supplements in place and drop the ones you don't need
- Support your partner too, because you're in this together

Power of Knowledge
Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
When should I start preparing my diet for pregnancy?
Ideally around three months before trying, but it's never too late, even a few weeks of positive changes help.
Can you help with PCOS, endometriosis or insulin resistance?
Yes, these are some of my main areas.
Can you support me during IVF?
Yes, I work alongside your fertility clinic.
Does my partner need to be involved?
It really helps; male factors are involved in around a third of couples. My couples consultation is designed for this.
Do I still need supplements if I eat well?
Yes. The NHS advises 400 µg of folic acid daily when you're trying to conceive, and 10 µg of vitamin D daily from October to March, or year-round if you get little sunlight. I help you get the doses and the timing right.
Do you work online, and in which languages?
Online or on-site in London, consultations in English and Polish.
