• Before starting IVF treatment, there are few
  things you can do to prepare for an IVF cycle.
• Many of the recommendations below are not only
  beneficial for a successful IVF cycle, but they
  are also beneficial to your overall health.

Increase sperm health

• Avoiding harmful environmental factors such as
  smoking, heat exposure, strenuous exercise,
  toxins, certain medications, or excessive alcohol
  consumption.
• Exercise and a healthy diet can help you reduce
  stress and maintain a healthy body weight.

Include supplements in your diet

• Include supplements in your diet
• A woman can take certain supplements to prepare
  for IVF.
• Vitamin D
• It is important to check your vitamin D levels to
  make sure you are not deficient in vitamin D.
  Getting enough vitamin D can improve your body's
  response to IVF treatment.
• Prenatal vitamins
• Prenatal vitamins are often recommended when
  trying to conceive.

5
Maintain a healthy weight

• An unhealthy BMI can affect pregnancy rates,
  increase the risk of miscarriage and lead to poor
  IVF outcomes.
• Before you start trying to get pregnant, talk to
  your doctor about what a healthy BMI is for you.
• This increases your chances of IVF success and
  reduces your risk of complications after you
  become pregnant.

6
Control your stress levels

• Stress and mental health affect your overall
  health and can interfere with pregnancy and IVF
  success.
• Mental and emotional stress can lead to
  additional physical stress, which negatively
  affects your body.
• It's also important to maintain healthy sleep
  habits, which are often disrupted by extra stress
  throughout the day.

7
Caffeine and alcohol consumption

• It is important to keep track of your daily
  caffeine intake. Too much caffeine can impair
  your ability to conceive during your IVF cycle.
• Caffeine consumption should be reduced or
  eliminated while you prepare for your IVF cycle.

8
Check your medications

• Tell your fertility doctor about any medications
  you are taking as you prepare to start your IVF
  cycle.
• Some medications can interfere with fertility
  medications or cause hormonal imbalances.
• Make a list of all medications you take,
  including common medications such as thyroid
  medications, and skin products.
• Medications for depression, anxiety and other
  mental health conditions should be discussed with
  your IVF doctor.

Initial consultation with IVF experts

• We recommend that you ask as many questions as
  necessary during your initial consultation to
  feel comfortable and confident about moving
  forward.
• The IVF process is extensive and detailed and it
  is important to be prepared for what may take the
  next few weeks/months.
• It is always best to consult with a fertility
  specialist to ensure you have the best and most
  up-to-date medical information and methods
  available.
