PREPARE YOURSELF FOR IVF
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR IVF

You could be contemplating IVF as a further step if you’re facing problems in getting pregnant naturally. The months leading up to an IVF cycle is crucial for prepping your body for the procedure. Follow our helpful advice and let us guide you through the most important journey of your life, the one to motherhood!

Are you ready to become a mother?

  • Before initiating any fertility therapy, begin prepping your body for at least three months.
  • Start taking folic acid (0.4 mg) at least 12 weeks before conception, either alone or as part of a preconception multivitamin supplement to boost folic acid levels in your body. A greater dosage (up to 5 mg) may be required in some women. This vitamin is vital because it protects growing babies against brain and spinal birth abnormalities.
  • Vitamin D levels are crucial for pregnancy. Check your vitamin D levels, as low levels have decreased fertility and a higher chance of miscarriage. If you have a known medical problem like diabetes or thyroid illness, ensure it's under control.
  • Adopt a balanced diet. Consume a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins (such as fish and chicken), and virgin olive oil. Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration in your body. You should reduce caffeine consumption and abstain from alcohol intake.
  • Avoid strenuous diets before your fertility treatment to avoid nutritional imbalances that might make it difficult to conceive.
  • Stop smoking and using recreational drugs. Smoking, especially e-cigarettes, has been linked to lower fertility and an increased chance of miscarriage. Furthermore, smoking during pregnancy might harm your baby's growth and development. The same may be said for recreational drug usage.
  • We recommend that you exercise moderately as part of a healthy lifestyle. You should avoid excessive activity since it might cause ovulation to cease.
  • A BMI of 19-25 is ideal. Being underweight or overweight might influence your fertility by interfering with ovulation.
  • Have sexual intercourse every 2-3 days regularly. You should avoid lubricants and deep vaginal intercourse since they can harm sperm and cause irritation respectively. Bed rest after sex, orgasm or different sexual positions have no impact on your chances of getting pregnant.
  • Getting the right amount of sleep can support your IVF cycle. Plan to sleep at least for 7-8 hours every night.
  • Relax as much as possible. You can also take advantage of popular stress-reduction therapies. Keep in mind that being pregnant is, to some extent, a statistical event. With a year of trying, you have roughly an 80% chance of getting pregnant. Odds are with you!

Are you ready to become a Father?

  • Before initiating any fertility therapy, begin prepping your body for at least three months.
  • For male fertility, begin taking a multivitamin supplement. Check your vitamin D levels, as low levels decrease fertility.
  • Adopt a balanced diet and focus on eating healthy, balanced meals since diet also affects the health of sperms. Oranges, bananas, olive oil, salmon, milk, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, walnuts, and dark chocolate are among foods that help improve sperm quality. Try to revamp your nutrition and stick to the Mediterranean diet. Reduce, or better still, eliminate your alcohol consumption for better outcomes.
  • The quality of sperm might be affected by heat in the testicular region. Tight undergarments and pants, cycling, extended sitting, hot baths and saunas, and storing your phone in your trouser pockets are all things to avoid.
  • Chemicals are likely to influence sperm, so try to stay away from them.
  • Stop smoking and recreational drugs. Smoking, including e-cigarettes, can lower the quality of sperm. The same may be said for recreational drug usage.
  • Maintain a healthy BMI in the ideal range of 19-25 since being overweight might affect sperm quality.
  • Plan to sleep for at least 7-8 hours every night.
  • Maintain a calm demeanor and be supportive to your partner/wife.
