A varied diet of things you enjoy. My doctor said ivf is stressful enough without adding restrictions etc in your diet. I generally eat petty well and continued to do this, but I also had the odd take away etc. When i started the medication I did stop alcohol and after Embryo transfer had pineapple as that is supposed to help but other than that just ate normally. Good luck x

Hiya, I was really strict with diet and exercise. Wholewheat carbs only, lots of fruit and veg, zero sugary snacks and drinks, tons of water. And no alcohol, cigarettes etc. I also worked out for a min. 3x 30mins per week. And vitamins. I know this won’t work for everyone, but I wanted to be sure that there wouldn’t be any ‘what if’s’ if IVF didn’t work x
