Lifestyle is important not just for fertility but for overall health. It should be part of your daily routine, like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You should give yourself at least 40–45 minutes daily for some activity or me-time. Physical activity is crucial this could be regular exercise, gym, running, yoga, meditation, or even playing a sport you enjoy. These help release positive hormones, reduce stress, improve blood circulation, and keep tissues healthy.
A well-balanced diet is essential. You don’t need to avoid all junk food completely occasional treats are fine but processed foods and maida should be limited. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol, as they can affect fertility and even the genetic makeup of gametes.
Mentally, it’s important to stay relaxed and happy. Engage in hobbies, go out, or take vacations with your partner. When trying for pregnancy, focus on your fertile period naturally without making it mechanical or stressful.
Regular counseling with your doctor and staying mentally prepared is crucial. Remember, IVF isn’t 100% guaranteed success rates are around 40–50% per cycle. So if it doesn’t work the first time, don’t lose hope. Stay positive, strong, and mentally ready so that a negative result doesn’t become traumatic.
