‘Eat fish for IVF success’

TRYING to get pregnant? A fish supper might help. Replacing meat or other protein sources with fish as little as twice a week could double the chances of a live birth in women having fertility treatment, according to a Harvard University study. Researchers examined the fish, poultry, red meat and processed meat intake of 351 women and compared their pregnancy outcomes after IVF treatment. Results suggest a diet high in omega-3, found in oily fish, increases the likelihood of a woman’s eggs being fertilised. Previous studies in men have shown omega-3 is associated with improved motility in sperm.
