For Infertility Treatment, Should He Drink Less Coffee, More Booze?

according to research scheduled for presentation at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s annual meeting, “a man’s love of coffee could hamper the success of a couple’s infertility treatment.” Specifically, “couples in which the man consumed the most caffeine (equivalent to three or more 8-ounce cups of coffee a day) were half as likely to have a pregnancy as couples where the male consumed the least caffeine (less than a cup of coffee daily), the researchers said.” The study of 105 men, all of whom were involved in IVF treatments, also found that “mild alcohol use by would-be fathers might help boost the odds of pregnancy through in vitro fertilization.” http://consumer.healthday.com/general-health-information-16/misc-alcohol-news-13/for-ivf-success-should-he-limit-coffee-692870.html
