In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a technology that mimics the natural way to get pregnant and in so doing, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to support the process.

This includes going about your usual routine for exercise while being cautious about certain high-impact activities that could potentially interfere with the process. Specifically, activities like heavy lifting, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and other high-impact exercises that could strain the body and potentially affect the success of IVF.
