Are there many infertile couples looking for IVF tips when thinking of going for an in vitro fertilization (IVF). I can bet they are, but often what they got is a piece of junk IVF tips.

For most people, they may not know what is actually in vitro fertilization (IVF). It is a method of assisted production, where the male’s sperm and  the female’s egg are fused in a laboratory dish where fertilization occurs.

Each try is called a cycle, each cycle created 5 to 12 embryos. The medical experts will use those so-called "good embryos" and select those that appears to be growing more aggressively than the rest of the embryos.

What are the don’ts?

#1 Do not eat junk food, try to consume a well balanced diet before you start an IVF procedure.

#2 Do not be a couch potato, try to exercise in moderation. Once your body is in optimum level, your body will be able to response well during an IVF.

For tip 3, avoid caffeine to only 1 to 2 caffeinated drinks every single day. Try to away addiction habit such as smoking if you want a successful IVF procedure. Avoid alcohol or limit your alcohol intake to ½ a glass of red wine a day maximum.

For tip 4, reduce your fish consumption that are high in mercury contents.

#5 Do not attempt to lift anything heavy. Some doctors recommend anything over 2 pounds to 10 pounds. Once you over-exert your body, IVF may not be successful.

#6 Do not over stress up because you are spending too much for an IVF procedure. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, breathing exercises, acupuncture or yoga postures that improve fertility.

What’s important here is to do what you enjoy and what helps you relax. Some research suggests that lowering stress levels may improve IVF success rates.

#7 Rest is very important, even before transfer. All those developing eggs are taking up a lot of space and energy.

For tip 8, I encourage you to take in prenatal vitamins prior to each cycle. At the minimum, you should take 400mcg of folic acid daily for three months before conception to reduce neural tube defects such as spina bifida. The food and drug administration recommends taking 800mg of prenantal vitamin tablets during pregnancy.

All you have to do is to implement the right adjustments before and after an IVF procedure will support you in improving your chances, not only of conceiving, but also of having the healthiest possible baby.
