Fertility treatment is not just a medical process—it’s a journey of physical, emotional, and lifestyle balance. Among all lifestyle factors, your diet plays a crucial role in supporting hormonal health, egg/sperm quality, and the success of treatments like IUI, IVF, and ICSI.
At Shilpa Fertility and Shree IVF Clinic, Yemmiganur, Dr. G. Shilpa emphasizes a holistic approach, where nutritional care goes hand in hand with advanced fertility science.
Here are expert-recommended diet tips to follow during fertility treatment:
🥬 1. Eat More Fresh Fruits & Vegetables
Fruits and veggies are rich in antioxidants which protect your eggs, sperm, and cells from oxidative stress. Aim to include:
- Leafy greens like spinach, methi, palak
- Berries, pomegranate, oranges, papaya (avoid if told)
- Carrots, tomatoes, and beetroot
🥚 2. Prioritize Protein Intake
Proteins are essential for hormone production and egg development. Include:
- Eggs (boiled or scrambled)
- Paneer, tofu, lentils (dal), chana
- Lean meats like chicken and fish (if non-veg is preferred)
- Greek yogurt or curd
Tip: Balance vegetarian and animal protein sources.
🌾 3. Switch to Whole Grains
Replace maida and white rice with:
- Brown rice
- Millets (bajra, ragi, jowar)
- Whole wheat chapati
These help maintain stable blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity—especially important in PCOS.
🧈 4. Include Healthy Fats
Not all fats are bad. Omega-3 and monounsaturated fats support hormone balance and embryo implantation.
- Use ghee in moderation
- Add flaxseeds, walnuts, and chia seeds
- Use cold-pressed oils like olive oil or sesame oil
- Avoid fried, oily, and trans-fat-heavy foods
🚰 5. Stay Well Hydrated
Water helps in:
- Improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
- Hormone transport
- Detoxification
Aim for 2.5 to 3 liters of water daily. Add coconut water or buttermilk occasionally.
❌ 6. Limit Caffeine and Say No to Alcohol
Too much caffeine (more than 1–2 cups of tea/coffee) can affect implantation. Alcohol should be completely avoided during fertility treatments.
🧂 7. Reduce Salt and Sugar Intake
High salt or sugar consumption can disrupt hormone levels. Avoid:
- Packaged snacks
- Sweets, sugary drinks
- Pickles and papads in excess
Replace sugar with natural alternatives like dates or jaggery (in moderation).
🥦 8. Focus on Iron, Folic Acid & Vitamin D
These nutrients are key during preconception:
- Iron: beetroot, jaggery, spinach
- Folic acid: legumes, leafy vegetables, citrus fruits
- Vitamin D: get morning sunlight or take supplements if prescribed
👩⚕️ 9. Take Prescribed Supplements
During fertility treatment, Dr. G. Shilpa may recommend supplements like:
- Folic acid
- Coenzyme Q10
- Vitamin E, B12, and D3
Take them regularly as advised.
🍽️ 10. Eat Mindfully
- Eat on time
- Avoid overeating
- Chew slowly and eat in a relaxed atmosphere
- Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast
