Study reveals eating more fish could increase your chances of having a baby
"The research found that men who had two or more four-ounce (113 gram) servings of fish a week, had a 47 per cent reduction in pregnancy time, and women by 60 per cent, as opposed to the couples who consumed one or fewer servings a week." - Quote by Juna Xu
Omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon (and other fish) can improve embryo quality and ovulation for females. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids improve sperm quality for men.

Time waits for no man: the impact of age on male fertility
Male fertility declines with age. "For example, most of the public are unaware that it takes five times longer to achieve pregnancy when the father is over 45." - Quote by Annabel Slater for BioNews
It is not necessarily the quantity of sperm that declines as a man ages, yet it is the quality of the sperm that declines.

Hopes for PCOS cure as scientists reveal cause in mice
"[Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)] may be triggered before birth by excessive exposure to anti-Mϋllerian hormone (AMH) in the womb, researchers found. They were then able to counter the symptoms of the syndrome in mice. A clinical trial to see if the treatment works in women will begin later this year.
In the study in Nature Medicine, Dr Paolo Giacobini at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm), and his team discovered that pregnant women with PCOS have 30 percent higher levels of AMH than usual. As the disease can be hereditary, the researchers then investigated whether the high levels of hormone could induce the same condition in female offspring." - Quote by Dr Elizabeth Oliver

Microwaving Your Food In Plastic Containers? It May Increase Risk of Diabetes, Obesity and Infertility
Many plastic containers contain harmful chemicals that may include, but are not limited to, phthalate, bisphenol A (commonly known as BPA), styrene, PVC, and dioxin. These chemicals have been linked to cancer.
"The disturbing truth is that heat transfers the chemicals in plastic very effectively into your food. When the food is heated, the food touching the plastic receives the chemicals leaching out. Eating those chemicals can increase risks of cancer, infertility and havoc on the normal functioning of reproductive systems and your brain[.]" - Quote by Dr Nitasha Gupta, an IVF expert

Want to increase fertility? Try dropping fast food
"When the researchers looked at the effects of diet on infertility, they found that in women with the lowest intake of fruit, the risk of infertility increased from 8% to 12%, and in those who ate fast food four or more times a week, the risk of infertility increased from 8% to 16%."
"An admitted weakness of the study, the researchers noted, was that they did not collect dietary information from the fathers." - Quotes by CNN Wire Service (fox6now.com)

Stem cell breakthrough: Scientists create embryo without sperm or egg
"New Delhi: In a significant development that could yield vital insights into fertility, scientists have for the first time created embryo-like structures in the lab using stem cells, rather than eggs or sperm, says a new study. The Dutch researchers say the procedure was not meant for cloning people or animals, but to find out why pregnancies fail at an early stage-implantation." - Quote from Times Now Digital
The study's author, Dr. Nicolas Rivron, said, “These early embryos have all the cell types required to form a whole organism. They will help us better understand the hidden processes at the start of life, to find solutions for fertility problems, and to develop new drugs without the use of lab animals.” - Quote by Dr. Nicolas Rivron for Times Now Digital

Can Endometriosis Cause Diminished Ovarian Reserve?
"While a 2017 study published in the Journal of Ovarian Research concluded endometriosis seems to negatively affect egg quality, there are no studies that definitively link endometriosis and diminished ovarian reserve."
Dr. Karli Goldstein, MD, of Seckin Endometriosis Center, said, women with endometriosis "shouldn't give up on motherhood. She recommends patients with endometriosis see a reproductive endocrinologist who specializes in or personalizes care for endometriosis." - Quotes by Joanie Cox-Henry

Male infertility on the rise, difficult to address

Additionally, men are also less likely than women to be open to talking about fertility issues.

Can Stem Cell Transplants Improve Fertility in Women with Asherman's Syndrome?
In a recent study, Russian researchers used a rat model to determine if stem cell transplantation can treat people with Asherman's syndrome (AS), in cases where surgical treatment methods of AS are ineffective.
Conclusion of study: "Human endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSC) can be successfully applied for Asherman's syndrome (AS) treatment in the rat model." - Quote from the study by the Institute of Cytology (Russian Academy of Sciences), Faculty of Medicine (St. Petersburg State University), and the Institute of Cytology (Russian Academy of Sciences)
