Can I take part if I am still on contraception?
Absolutely! All the information will still apply to you and you can start 90% of the tips while still on contraception. I will include some information around changes to testing that will apply if you use hormonal contraception.
Does my partner have to take part?
He doesn't have to, but it would be great if he could join us as 99% of the nutrition and lifestyle advice will apply to him also.

You sure can! The seminar will be available to watch at any time and you can rewatch as many times as you like.
Is this class for women who are already pregnant?
No, the advice will be aimed at pre-conception nutrition rather than nutrition specific to each trimester of pregnancy.
I don't have a cycle, or I have an irregular cycle, can I still take part?
Absolutely! I will be discussing why your cycle might be a bit wonky and give you tips to help straighten things back out again.
