Lifestyle and Fertility Study on Antioxidant Status, Diet and Early Pregnancy
Completed
Conditions studied: Infertility, Pregnancy, Fertility, Nutrition, Life Style
In brief
Researchers believe that certain lifestyle factors can influence a couple's ability to conceive and have a baby. The ISIS Study will look at the health habits of couples who are planning their first pregnancy, and then attempt to measure the effect these habits have on the couple's fertility. The ISIS Study hopes to clarify the link between lifestyle and fertility, and believes that information gained in this project may help future couples in their attempts to conceive.
