🥗 Lifestyle & fertility: giving your swimmers a boost

How to Maximize Your Chances

1. 1. What to prepare

   Avoid smoking and recreational drugs; discuss alcohol, prescribed medicines and anabolic steroids with a clinician. Do not stop prescribed treatment without advice.

2. 2. What to check

   Seek assessment for fertility concerns rather than relying on supplements, underwear changes or a promised sperm-improvement deadline.

3. 3. In Ireland

   Ask your GP about a regional fertility hub. Public funding has access criteria distinct from private treatment: HSE guidance excludes treatment needing donor sperm or eggs. Do not equate public-funding exclusion with a general legal ban for single or same-sex parents.
