Discover the factors that can influence IVF success rates, including egg quality, sperm health, embryo development, lifestyle changes, and fertility supplements. Ceres Fertility in North Cyprus takes great pride in advising all IVF Clients ahead of creating embryos.
When people begin their IVF journey, one of the first questions they ask is: “What can I do to improve my chances of success?”
While no fertility clinic can guarantee a pregnancy, there are several factors that can significantly influence IVF outcomes.
Egg Quality Matters More Than Egg Quantity
Many patients focus solely on ovarian reserve and the number of eggs collected during treatment. However, egg quality is often more important than the total number retrieved.
Egg quality naturally declines with age, particularly after 35, which can impact fertilisation rates and embryo development.
Sperm Health Is Equally Important
Male fertility contributes to approximately 50% of fertility challenges. Traditional semen analysis measures concentration, motility and morphology, but additional testing such as DNA Fragmentation Analysis can provide deeper insights into sperm quality.
Lifestyle Changes Can Help
Research suggests that the following may positively influence fertility:
- Maintaining a healthy BMI
- Reducing alcohol consumption
- Avoiding smoking
- Improving sleep quality
- Managing stress levels
Consider Fertility Supplements
Many fertility specialists recommend targeted supplements before IVF treatment. Nutrients such as CoQ10, Vitamin D, Omega-3, Zinc and antioxidants may support reproductive health. However please discuss this with your Doctor as some supplements offered on the market can cause oxidative stress in some patients.
Final Thoughts
Successful IVF depends on multiple factors working together. Optimising both egg and sperm quality before treatment can help create the strongest foundation possible for success.
