Your personal profile
BMI is the first algorithmic gate. Both low and high BMI suppress ovulatory function — the calculator adjusts every nutrient target based on your body composition.

Target BMI: 18.5–24.9 kg/m² (WHO/ACOG). Outside this range, anovulation risk rises and caloric targets are auto-adjusted.

kg
These trigger specific algorithmic overrides. A prior NTD history activates the 4,000 µg folate protocol — 10× the standard dose.
🏃
Lifestyle factors
Caffeine, alcohol, activity, and stress are independent fertility modulators that adjust the algorithmic baseline before any food scoring begins.
ACOG flags: >200 mg/day correlates with early pregnancy loss. 1 cup coffee ≈ 80–100 mg · 1 cup tea ≈ 30–50 mg · 1 can cola ≈ 35 mg.
Target: ≥150 min/week moderate activity improves peripheral insulin sensitivity and ovulatory function (ACOG/WHO).
Elevated cortisol suppresses GnRH pulsatility and disrupts the HPO axis. High stress triggers Shatavari/Ashwagandha recommendations.
🥗
Your typical diet
These 8 questions power the Harvard Fertility Diet Score — the most validated dietary algorithm for ovulatory infertility. Answer for your usual weekly pattern.
Axis 1How often do you use healthy oils in cooking?
Mustard oil, ghee (1 tsp), coconut oil, sesame oil. Trans fats from vanaspati and packaged snacks are the strongest dietary predictor of anovulation.
Axis 2How much animal protein (red meat, chicken) do you eat?
High red meat correlates with elevated oxidative stress. Plant proteins improve insulin sensitivity.
Axis 4What type of dairy do you primarily consume?
Counterintuitively, full-fat dairy is protective — skimming removes fat-soluble secosteroids including Vitamin D analogues (Chavarro et al., 2007).
Axis 5How many servings of vegetables do you eat daily?
ICMR 2024 mandate: 400g total vegetables/day — including 100g green leafy vegetables (spinach, methi, moringa). GLV are your primary natural folate source.
Axis 6How often do you eat omega-3 rich foods?
DHA/EPA target: 600–1,000 mg/day. Sardines/anchovies/hilsa: best marine DHA. Walnuts & flaxseeds: ALA only (5% converts to DHA).
Axis 7What are your primary iron sources?
Non-heme iron (plant sources) is rewarded; heme iron (red meat) is penalised due to oxidative stress. Always pair plant iron with Vitamin C (amla, lemon juice).
Axis 8Are you taking a daily multivitamin or prenatal supplement?
ACOG recommends starting folic acid ≥1 month before conception — ideally 3 months before. Multivitamin use is a proxy for adequate folic acid and B12 status.
🔬
Nutrient intake check
Estimating your intake of the five key fertility micronutrients allows precise gap analysis against ICMR 2024 thresholds. Leave blank if unsure — the algorithm uses your Step 3 dietary data.
💡 All fields are optional. Your Fertility Score calculates from whatever data you provide.
Vitamin D <20 ng/mL linked to poor IVF outcomes, PCOS exacerbation, and reduced AMH signalling. The algorithm scales recommendation to 2,000 IU/day if deficient.
🩺
Clinical biomarkers
AMH and FSH allow the algorithm to modulate antioxidant and omega-3 targets for your specific ovarian reserve status. Skip anything you haven't tested.
💡 Skip any or all of these. Full results are generated from your dietary and lifestyle data.
Low AMH triggers stricter antioxidant thresholds. Normal AMH: 1.5–4.0 ng/mL for reproductive age.
Critical for omega-3 recommendations: strict vegetarians have <5% ALA-to-DHA conversion. Algal DHA is auto-recommended for vegans/vegetarians.
