Of course lifestyle is important. There are certain habits to which we don’t pay enough attention, and may affect a couple’s fertility. Obesity, stress, tobacco, alcohol, or drugs are factors that may affect the quantity and/or quality of the spermatozoa and oocytes, hence conditioning not only natural fertility, but also the success rates of assisted reproductive techniques.
