That’s a very good question, so how long before? I think sometimes it depends on the nutritional needs of the individual. I would say if someone has a very profound deficiency and a very severe deficiency maybe they need a bit more time to work on resolving that but if someone has had just a small issue, it’s easier to resolve. So I wouldn’t say that’s one answer that fits everybody so, I think that is a bit more specific to individuals. As well we know that if you’re obese, you may have to lose some weight and I wouldn’t go straight from a very heavy diet to trying to conceive in case someone didn’t try the right way so, they had some deficiencies developed there. It all depends on the exact problem that’s actually causing the fertility I would say.
