The purpose of this study is study the possible relationship between various lifestyle habits of men and women (age, body mass index, diet, exercise, alcohol, tobacco, coffee, etc..) and live birth rate after in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmatic injection (IVF-ICSI).
It is a prospective study of couples with primary or secondary infertility, with indication for IVF. The main objective is to relate different lifestyle factors (age, BMI, physical activity, tobacco consumption, alchol, drugs, work and diet) with reproductive outcomes obtained in terms of total oocytes, M II, fertilization and implantation rates pregnancy and abortion rates and live birth. It also attempts to correlate the different habits of life in men with seminal parameters. For this, both members of the pair separately should answer a validated questionnaire before beginning the therapeutic process.
