The IVF journey represents a major step filled with challenges and hope. Proper preparation can increase the chances of success and reduce both physical and emotional stress. Here are key tips to make this journey smoother and more effective:

• Adopt a healthy, balanced diet: Consuming foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants supports the quality of eggs and sperm, and prepares the body for fertilization. 

• ⁠Focus on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins. Reduce processed foods, excess sugars, unhealthy fats, and make sure to drink enough water.

• Use appropriate vitamins and medical supplements: It is recommended to start certain supplements well before the stimulation cycle to support hormonal synthesis and the quality of eggs and sperm. These may include folic acid, vitamin D, and other components such as zinc, selenium, and ubiquinol and other antioxidants, according to medical evaluation.

• Maintain ideal weight and physical activity: Keeping body mass index (BMI) within the healthy range is important for treatment success, as it affects hormonal balance, egg quality, and embryo implantation rates. Moderate exercise (such as walking, yoga, or swimming) helps improve circulation, reduce stress, and enhance overall health.

• Avoid smoking, alcohol, and reduce caffeine intake: These factors negatively impact fertility and embryo quality. Smoking lowers egg and sperm quality and affects the uterine environment. Alcohol can reduce success rates and increase complications.

• Care for mental health and emotional support: The IVF journey is not only physical but also psychological. We recommend practicing relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, yoga, or walking in nature to ease stress.
