To expectant mothers and fathers who decided to have a baby, you have gone through troublesome and difficult processes and decided on in vitro fertilization treatment. So, what should you pay attention to regarding nutrition during in vitro fertilization treatment?
The low body fat rate resulting from increased body weight and weight loss reduces the possibility of pregnancy. Therefore, before starting treatment, expectant mothers and fathers should be at their ideal weight, not overweight or underweight. Attention pregnant candidates who are obese! Obesity increases the failure of in vitro fertilization.
If a person who wants to become a mother is both overweight and has polycystic ovary disease, the chances of success of in vitro fertilization treatment decrease significantly. Polycystic ovary syndrome can cause insulin resistance. Insulin resistance reduces the chance of success of in vitro fertilization treatment by making the abdominal area fat.
