🥗 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 South Africa

   Ask a registered fertility service about treatment, donor consent, costs and parentage under the Children’s Act. Same-sex marriage is available through the Civil Union Act; do not describe same-sex families as prohibited or assume marriage alone resolves every donor-conception issue.
