Diet Guidelines During IVF

Your body digests processed carbs (like cookies, cakes, white bread and white rice) quickly, and turns them into blood sugar. Complex carbs (those containing fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains) are digested slowly and limit insulin. High insulin levels appear to inhibit ovulation.

Avoid trans fats and opt for more healthy unsaturated fats.

Trans fats (found primarily in foods such as commercial baked and snack foods, animal products, french fries and some margarines) increase insulin resistance.
High insulin levels cause a lot of metabolic disturbances that affect ovulation

Get more plant protein

Plant protein (from beans, nuts, seeds) comes with healthy fats and is relatively low in calories

Don’t forget your vitamins:

Consume choline:

It helps to reduce harmful gene effects that may result in birth defects, also is important for brain function, among other benefits. Egg yolks, beef liver and Cauliflower have very high choline content.

Drink alcohol sparingly or completely avoid it

Avoid Caffeine altogether
