You are not trying yet
Maybe you are six months out, maybe a year. This is the best possible moment to start, because you have the most room to work with and no pressure on you.
For the months before pregnancy
A preconception health platform for couples.
One of the best things you can do for your future baby begins before pregnancy.
Sowera helps both of you understand where you are starting from, across food, sleep, movement, everyday exposures and how you are actually feeling. Then work out together what is worth looking at next, whether you have not started trying, you are already trying, or treatment is ahead.
The best start, on every path to pregnancy.

Where we start
Before there is a problem.
Most fertility conversations start after a couple has already been trying for a while. Sowera starts earlier than that.
We look at the wider health picture of both partners. Not to go hunting for something wrong, but to understand what is already working for you, what might be worth changing, and what deserves a closer look.
The point is not more testing. It is better information.
The window
The months before, and both of you.
Sperm are made continuously, and the ones maturing now take roughly two to three months to be ready. Eggs are a different story. They are present from before birth, but the final stages of maturation unfold over months, and that period is responsive to what is happening around it.
Which means the food you eat, the products in your home, how hard you train and how you sleep are all worth attention now. This is a part of the picture that often goes unmentioned, not because people do not care, but because the conversation usually starts later than it could.
Preparing is not a treatment, and it is not a replacement for one. It is a way of looking after your health alongside whatever else you are doing.
Who this is for
Wherever you are, you are not late.
You are trying, and wondering
A few months in and still wondering. The months ahead are as open to you as the months behind. And if you have questions about how long to keep going, a doctor can help you work out when an assessment makes sense for you.
You are preparing for treatment
You know IVF or IUI is coming. Looking after your health alongside your treatment is something many couples find worthwhile, and your clinical team remains the guide.
The window is not a door that closes behind you. There is no point at which it becomes too late to look after your health, and no month that counts against you.
Four parts of getting ready,
in one place.
Nutrition and supplements
What the research says about food and supplements for both egg and sperm health, and what to check with your doctor before you start adding anything.
Testing and clinical prep
Understand where you are starting from, so you can have a more informed conversation with your own doctor or clinic and know what is worth looking into.
Nontoxic living
We live in a world full of things that were not here a generation ago. The good news is you can do something about it, starting today.
Emotional wellness
Sleep, recovery and how you are coping deserve room here too. Most preparation advice skips this part.

How it works
How the preparing actually goes.
-
01
Start with your baseline
Look at the health and the habits of both of you, not only one.
-
02
Notice the patterns
See what is already working for you, and what neither of you has ever looked at.
-
03
Choose your priorities
Pick the few things that matter for your situation, instead of trying to change everything at once.
-
04
Know what to explore next
Walk into any appointment with better questions than you would have had, and with the right professional in mind.
Our story
We thought we were healthy.
"We were fit, we ate well, we had no reason to worry. And yet, when we actually looked, we found things we never would have known about."
Before we started trying, curiosity led us to a doctor. We were not worried and we were not trying to fix anything. We simply went to look.
Our testing identified opportunities to support reproductive health on both sides, from food and environmental exposures to exercise and lifestyle. Ordinary parts of our lives we had never once connected to fertility.
We discovered this knowledge almost by chance. We believe every couple should be able to access it earlier and more easily. That is why Sowera exists.

From the Journal
The day I wanted to become a mother
We were fit, we ate well, and we had no reason to worry. Then curiosity took us to a doctor before we ever started trying, and what we found there changed how I think about the beginning of parenthood.
The waitlist
Be first in.
We are building the program now, and you will hear from us before anyone else when it opens. While you wait, the baseline checklist is yours. One page for the two of you to work out where you are right now.
One email when the program opens, and a note every couple of weeks until then, only when there is something worth reading. We never sell your address or share it with advertisers.
