Advice needed, heading towards IVF as no know reason for infertility has been found after 3 years of trying.
I'm 37, stressful demanding career, train 6 days per week, physically very fit, eat well (lots of veg, low carb, high protein) not underweight/overweight. Drink tea daily, coffee and Diet Coke in moderation. Drink alcohol on weekends and occasionally through the week (work events/stressful day etc) Any advice on lifestyle changes you've made by choice or by DR's advice ?

Sadly HJ82 they are quick to blame drug or alcohol use on poor egg quality or indeed sperm quality. An NHS clinic told me that constant sauna/steam room use destroys egg quality another told me it was the comsumption of red meat and tap water and non organic vegetables. My clinic is adamant no multi vits, others swear by them. So very frustrating and annoying

@AniSL out of curiosity, what tends to happen to these poor little babies? I presume they are taken into care automatically?
