Welcome to another episode of the IVF Before & After Podcast. In this episode, Kay makes you aware of the lifestyle choices that may affect your chances of conception or a successful IVF treatment.

Kay describes how your lifestyle can bring about unwanted stress in your life and impact on your chances of conceiving. Trying to conceive is naturally stressful enough, plus your trying to deal with the daily stresses of life within your work, your relationship and with your friends. Kay helps you identify the stress you can avoid during your treatment in order to achieve a balance.
