During our latest live Q&A, our panel of fertility experts came together to answer questions submitted directly by our audience.
Covering a wide range of fertility topics, our experts shared their knowledge and experience, providing evidence-based information, practical guidance and reassurance for individuals and couples at different stages of their fertility journey.
From treatment options and fertility health to some of the questions that are less commonly discussed, the session offered an opportunity to hear directly from professionals across different areas of fertility care.
Topics discussed this month included:
- What is IMSI? What are PICSI, MACS, or FertileChip? For my husband, who has a sperm DNA fragmentation rate of 27.73%, which technique do you recommend?
- How important is what the male partner eats compared with the female partner when preparing for IVF?
- Are there any fertility foods or supplements that have become popular on social media without any convincing evidence behind them?
- We hear a lot about the microbiome and fertility. What exactly is the reproductive microbiome, and is there any evidence that it can affect IVF success?
- Does the time of day an embryo is transferred matter?
- Can travelling, flying or changing time zones around fertility treatment affect the treatment?
- Can a prolonged abstinence actually make a semen analysis worse not better? If the sperm is going to be used for ICSI does the quality still matter as much?
- What happens if partners disagree about telling friends and family that they're having IVF treatment?
- The impact of GLP-1 for weight loss on male and female fertility
- What are the top 3 recommended supplements for male and female fertility?
