You've decided to give IVF a(nother) try: what should you do or not do during treatment?

And how does this relate to Miami vs Pacific Northwest "chic"? Well, let's just say, it really helps to know the rules in advance….

There are a lot of mythunderstandings (misunderstandings + myths!) out there about IVF, so in this snack, Ruby and Anne are going to talk about the things you genuinely need to know.

Here's what you'll learn: (and yes, you need to listen to get the full answer!)

  1. Exercise: yes, no, decrease, increase, and why?
  2. Alcohol: can you have a glass of wine?
  3. Caffeine: please o please, Mother Nature, may I?
  4. Tobacco/nicotine: spoiler — NO. For so many reasons…
  5. Bath, hot tub, sauna?
  6. Sex during an IVF cycle?
