Why is reducing sweet food important for egg stimulation?

To the women who are going to start egg stimulation program. Have you ever wondered why you have to reduce sweet food?


Egg stimulation is an important process. In order to get qualified eggs, women should be concerned about sweet food consumption apart from following the doctor’s guidance.

Because eating a lot of sweet food will increase glucose level in the body then stimulate the cells that can lead inflammation throughout the body. As a result of this effect, eggs and uterus may be deteriorated.

High-quality eggs are needed after stimulation. Therefore, please try to avoid too much sugary food (more than the body needs) during the egg stimulation until the egg pick up is proceeded.

Particularly, eating a lot of sweets is not good for overweight women. Because their bodyweight will be increased to some extent due to the higher hormone levels during stimulation. Adding more sweetness may affect bodyweight and cause other difficulties respectively.
